Solomon Islands and Resorts

Western Province

Zipolo Habu Resort

Located on Lola Island in Vona Vona Lagoon in the western province of the Solomon Islands, Zipolo Habu Resort is the lost paradise of our childhood dreams. Situated on a perfect blue lagoon fringed by white sands and tall green palms, it is just a short five minute picturesque boat ride from Munda. This truly natural hideaway features a great restaurant and bar and accommodation in self-contained island style bungalows which overlook the water.

We can arrange diving, surfing, fishing or boating adventures to many outstanding sites all close by.

The Fishing Bar is fully licensed, but if you have a favourite drink, pick it up Duty Free and the Bar staff will be happy to mix your drinks to your preference. The Bar includes Rod Holders along with your Stubby Holders!

At the end of the day, the waterfront restaurant and bar is the place to kick back, soak up the atmosphere or tell tall fishing stories. The company is great, the beer is always cold and the menu always features fresh local seafood and produce. If you prefer we can prepare your own day’s catch to your specific instructions.

Additional features include:

• 
  Sports fishing: unique diversity of fishing, accessible either from the island itself or only minutes away
  
• Surfing: extremely inconsistent so be prepared to enjoy alternative activities. But, when the surf is up, you have it all to yourself. There are three confirmed surf breaks five to 20 minutes from the resort.
