The Lodge’s beach is a relaxing place to escape and every bungalow has its own access to it. Wake up with a morning lap, take in the sun on hammocks and cool down in the water to escape the tropical heat. The beach has over-water swinging chairs, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards which guests are welcome to access at any time.

COOLING OFF AT THE LODGE
EXPLORING MATEVULU
The area surrounding Matevulu Lodge is very unique with little islands, reefs and two of Santo’s famous Blueholes : Riri and Matevulu Bluehole. These blueholes can be easily accessed by walking from the Lodge (30min) but the best option to explore them is to kayak up their pristine river. Riri Bluehole being at 30min kayaking from the Lodge / Matevulu Bluehole at 1h kayaking. An unforgettable experience!
You can also use our kayaks in the Bay, go exploring around Chicken Island, look for the underwater WWII plane wreck or watch the sunset from the sea.
Looking for snorkeling options, you can explore the different coral stones in the bay directly from the beach of the Lodge itself. Or we can arrange for one of the local taxi boats to pick you up and take you to the islands of Mavea or Aese. Or book a tour to Dany Island, one of the only surf spot in Santo.
