Solomon Airlines now flies Brisbane direct to Espiritu Santo — no connections, no Port Vila layover. Turtle Bay Lodge is your quiet waterfront base for blue holes, reef and the world’s greatest wreck dive.
Check AvailabilityFor years, reaching Espiritu Santo from Australia meant a connection through Port Vila and half a day in transit. Not anymore. With Solomon Airlines’ direct Brisbane–Santo service, you can leave Brisbane in the morning and be barefoot on the water by afternoon. Less airport, more island.
Riri and Nanda — impossibly clear, spring-fed swimming holes ringed by jungle.
One of the South Pacific’s most beautiful stretches of white sand, an easy drive up the coast.
The SS President Coolidge — the world’s most accessible WWII wreck — and Million Dollar Point, right off Santo’s shore.
Swim off the deck, watch the light change over the bay, and let the pace drop all the way down.
Turtle Bay Lodge is a small waterfront retreat on Espiritu Santo, not a big resort. Warm Ni-Vanuatu hospitality, fresh island food, and rooms that open straight to the sea.
