Worawia

Ni-Vanuatu inspired holiday resort design

Worawia is a 3-star Vanuatu resort - a true South Pacific island holiday haven, with self-contained bungalows and deluxe dormitory accommodation, swimming pool, swim-up pool bar, small convenience store and barbecue facilities by the pool.

The resort also used to host authentic Melanesian Feast Night every Tuesday, which was attended by guests from other Vanuatu resorts. However, the feast night is now held at Secret Garden (previously known as Botanical Gardens), just down the road from Worawia. Secret Garden also features Vanuatu flora and fauna, including information and displays about Vanuatu history and its culture.

Worawia resort is situated next door to 18-hole golf course, near beach and ocean front, not far from Hideaway Cove, in Mele village. The golf course is Port Vila Golf & Country Club, where the annual Vanuatu Open is held.

Worawia Holiday Haven is one of the very few Ni-Vanuatu (traditionally) inspired and built ventures in the 80-plus islands of what is called Vanuatu. It is now operated by professional manager, with local Vanuatu staff, in accordance with international standards. Worawia is a 3-star family resort, popular with families, couples, single visitors, as well as various group bookings.

Worawia resort name change

Worawia budget holiday resort is now a reality after many years of hard work by local chief and his family, never losing their vision and with the assistance and support of overseas patrons. The name 'Worawia' comes from the local language, meaning 'Good Harbour'. As of late 2007, the resort changed its name and is now known as Worawia Resort Mele.

Family accommodation

At Worawia, we prefer to have a small, intimate resort where the waits are a little shorter, the service is a little more personal, and the chance of being treated like family (rather than customers) is a little more likely.

Worawia resort swimming pool and three of the bungalows

So we have only one family bungalow, one couples bungalow, two regular bungalows and lodge bungalow. This allows us a maximum of 32 guests at any one time. (So get your Worawia reservations in early.)
