"The Islands Lost in Time" often described as "the Last Frontier of the Pacific".

  • Hidden piece of paradise
  • Romantic Getaway
  • Max 28 guests
  • Marovo Lagoon location
  • On-site SSI Dive Centre
  • Pristine house reef off the beach

Uepi Island is located among cultivated gardens at the eastern end of the 2.5km long island on the edge of the Marovo Lagoon. One side of the island is fringed with sandy beaches lapped by crystal clear waters whilst the other side has a wall of uplifted volcanic rocks encrusted with corals, forming a fringing reef and a “drop-off” of approximately 2,000 metres deep. Uepi accommodation is bungalow style with six detached bungalows, two semi-detached units and two semi-detached guest rooms accommodating a maximum number of 28 guests. Four bungalows are positioned on the beachfront, two bungalows are set back a few metres in the beautiful gardens. The semi-detached accommodations are set on a slightly risen part of the resort offering excellent views of the Marovo Lagoon, all within immediate walking distance from the sandy beaches and fringing reef areas.

Because of its location, the Uepi Island Resort offers action packed, stress free holidays. A world class house reef is only minutes away from your accommodation, providing a venue for unlimited free snorkelling, safely catering for guests of all levels of experience. Other snorkelling sites are just a short boat ride or extended walk away. Scuba diving is fully catered for by the on-site SSI dive centre offering a range of courses as well as shore and boat diving trips on a daily basis.

Other activities around the Uepi Island include sea kayaking, fishing, jungle trails and various cultural activities giving you the opportunity to visit local villages where the Marovo people will introduce you into their traditional everyday life.

Meals are included and prepared by talented local chefs and are a highlight of your stay. Breakfast and the evening meals are served in the main dining room overlooking Charapoana Passage, while lunches are delivered to your room. All meals are based on fresh locally grown organic produce and seafood sourced from local villages.

Please note:
Divers will not be permitted to dive without DAN Evacuation Insurance or equivalent. This insurance must be purchased before you arrive on the island. Certification cards must be presented to the dive centre on the first day of diving and the use of a dive computer is mandatory.

Uepi Dive

Uepi Island Resort

Uepi offers the unique opportunity to dive first-class sites that are only minutes away from the dive shop; conveniently located either off the edge of the island or just a short boat trip away.

Diving at Uepi is based on multi-level planning, beginning at 30 metres or less and ascending slowly throughout the dive, so dive computers are required. It is common to stay in the water for an hour or so on each dive because the top 5-10 metres have endless species to discover allowing you to get maximum value from each dive. Rarely will you view such diverse concentrations of marine life in such a varied environment, ranging from lagoonal coral gardens to vertical drop-offs into 2000 metres of ocean (The Slot), mostly within the confines of a three kilometre stretch of reef.

Divers will not be permitted to dive without DAN Evacuation Insurance Cover or equivalent. This insurance must be purchased before you arrive on the island. Certification cards and use of a dive computer is mandatory.

Rates below apply to shore dives, night dives and boat dives on Uepi Island sites. The majority of expense for diving at Uepi relates to the cost of maintaining the reef and environs as well as providing dive guides and a dive facility in such an isolated area.
