Where is Aore Island?<br />

Sitting on the same latitude as Port Douglas<br />

in Australia, across 1700 km of open Coral<br />

Sea, the same distance as Port Douglas is to<br />

Brisbane, is Vanuatu’s Aore Island. This is<br />

the heart of James Michener’s Adventures in<br />

Paradise. Arguably one of the most be<strong>au</strong>tiful<br />

of all South Pacifi c islands, Aore (Our-ee)<br />

is genuinely unique. Not only due to its<br />

unsurpassed natural be<strong>au</strong>ty and pristine marine<br />

environment, but also the warm friendly smiles<br />

of the local Ni-Vanuatu people, the balmy<br />

tropical breezes and fragrant vegetation that<br />

includes colourful bougainvillea, frangipani, and<br />

wild native gingers and orchids.<br />

Located in the northern Sanma Province, at<br />

the foot of Vanuatu’s largest island of Espiritu<br />

Santo, the signifi cantly smaller Aore Island has<br />

a tropical ambience that words alone cannot<br />

describe: gently swaying palms; unspoilt white<br />

sandy beaches; luxuriant vegetation; tropical<br />

marine corals; and, a myriad of colourful<br />

fi sh species. Added to this are gentle topical<br />

tradewinds and spectacular sunsets that simply<br />

take your breath away.
