...its hard to believe that this paradise can exist less than an hour away from busy Port Vila...which is just far enough away from the world to be, well...just far enough away from the world!
ESCAPE ORDINARY
...AND MEET THE REAL MOSO
Watermark on Moso has a special relationship with the people of Moso Island, forged over 15 years of friendship...now family.
We don't do 'cultural shows' but we can introduce you to real Nivan people in real homes, doing real life. While there are some paid tours hosted by locals, other more unplanned occasions might see you being welcomed for coffee, kava or kai kai..like family! The people of Vanuatu are often described as being some of the happiest in the world....and if that stands true for the whole of Vanuatu, then Moso Islanders are completely off the chart! Find out why, first hand.
Lifelong memories are waiting...
ABOUT WATERMARK ON MOSO
Watermark on Moso is an off-grid retreat. It suits independently-minded travellers and families with an adventurous spirit...without compromising comfort and style. All of our properties are absolute waterfront.
Watermark is a genuine place for genuine people, away from the hustle and bustle so you can live life your way for a while, with unique opportunities to experience the people and culture of Moso Island along the way.
Moso Island is convenient to Port Vila and major mainland tourist attractions, yet far enough away to feel like you have run away from the world. You may not even want to go back!
If you must, the mainland is just a few minutes ride across the harbour, and boats are easily arranged. Local buses tour the ring road to Vila constantly, and for odd hours or tours, we can help arrange a private bus.
So...what exactly are you waiting for? Book Now!
