The Moso

Fabulous holiday. Hilltop Villa was a private beautiful room, bed so comfortable, never slept so well. Loved jumping in the pool, day or night. The owners & staff were amazing so friendly & accommodating & food was exceptional. Look forward to returning soon.

This is our second stay at The Moso. We stayed in May 2023 and again in November 2024. In 2023 we stayed in villa 6 with a plunge pool. In 2024 we were in villa 7, a hilltop lap pool villa and then villa 2, with a plunge pool. Each vila has its own style and you can see the progression of Joel, Antoun and Andrew's design and construction skills as you rise up the hill with the hilltop lap pool villas being the most spectacular and absolutely worth paying a premium for. How to get the most out of your stay at The Moso: If, like us, you snorkel then take the 30 minute walk over the spine of the island to Embas beach. We would walk over to Embas every day. It is best for snorkelling at 0.7m to 1.2m on a rising tide. At dead low of 0.1m there just isn't enough water to get over the coral so wait for a rising tide. There's an excellent array of soft corals in close 10-20m offshore. The best hard corals are found 400m offshore in about 3-5m of water. If you aren't confident to go out that far there is still plenty to see in close. Embas is an isolated gem, most days we'd have the entire beach to ourselves or on the odd occasion had to share it with one other couple. Every time we went out there was something new to see. There is noting better than walking back from an isolated beach all hot sweaty than rinsing off in your outdoor shower then getting into your own private plunge pool. The rooms are very comfortable and well appointed. The decor matches the tropical setting. All the staff are friendly and helpful, especially Nunes and Jason. My secret guilty pleasure is reading bad trip advisor reviews and the bad reviews of the Moso do not disappoint. The Moso might not be for you if you don't understand that being on a tropical island in the middle of the South Pacific means things happen outside of everyones control. If there are insects and geckos in the room it's because you are on a tropical island in the South Pacific. If the restaurant doesn't have particular ingredient don't get mad rather think about where you are and that everything comes in by boat. The Moso is a small boutique resort in a spectacular location. If you want to snorkel or trek up an extinct volcano in tropical splendour and then come back to private luxury then The Moso might well be for you. If you want shopping and a party town you are in the wrong place. Joel, Antoun and Andrew are friendly, welcoming and great hosts. We will keep coming back for the adventure of snorkelling at Embas topped off with the luxury and privacy of the excellent villas. Chris & Melinda

The Moso is secluded, romantic and so relaxing. The vibe is truely chilled and it is as perfect as the pictures depict. Food and service is unreal and you will become friends with the staff and owners in no time. The snorkeling is gorgeous and the spa is beautiful! Do yourself a favour and book it, just go!!

If I could rate higher than 5 star, I would, hands down, incredible resort. The attention to detail in all things hospitality, outstanding. The staff are amazing, its apparent the owners have love and respect for their team. The overall experience was delicious. The spa, I indulged in the full package and time stopped, literally! The food was fresh, heavily local, and so full of flavor, well done. A very good menu covering all food groups ad fabulous shared plates. The bed! Omg, I'm not going to lie, I pulled the sheets back to look for the brand! The best nights sleep ever! I'm dreaming of going back and for a lot longer next time x a girls' trip of pure magic, my cup overflowing. Thank you, Moso, outstanding off grid sustainable paradise.

What can we say, we went to The Moso for our honeymoon, we were made feel welcome from the minute we got off the plane and into the bus. 45 minutes and then a 10 minute boat ride and wow so beautiful and the staff were wonderful, our first night we stayed in the hilltop lap pool wonderful but what a hill, we are old and by the end walking up there felt even older , next day we moved down to a plunge pool villa, fantastic it was quite and beautiful the bed was so solf and comfortable, and next to the pool which we swam in everyday. We walked over to the other side of the island long walk but so worth it plus uou can hire sooner to take you over if you want but the walk is wonderful, once there wow just eye opening and rhe snorkelling was divine. They made us a packed lunch, wraps fruit and water just delicious and we sat on the beach and enjoyed our day. We went on day tours, fantastic and reception was super helpful and the food was good and the cocktails were great, more things on the menu would be great but apart from that we had the best time we were there for 11 nights and lived ever minute of it. The owner were lovely and super friendly, a big shout out to Andrew who was fantastic, helped me greatly when I hurt my leg and Claudia and Pauline who served us breakfast, lunch and dinner and did a wonderful job, everyone knew our name and we felt safe and like family. I could go on and on, go check it out, peaceful, relaxing and freindly for all, no children which was great. No tv so got to do heaps of reading and other stuff lol. See you again Sam and Di

The Moso was a really amazing vibe! We were so lucky to stay in a brand new beachfront lap pool villa, which was so lovely! We felt so welcomed! All staff were amazing! We really enjoyed day trips around the island, and then chill time hanging out around the resort, like I said, a great vibe from everyone! Food and drinks, best we had in Vanuatu. We definitely plan on returning next year! Thanks everyone for making our holiday so great!!
