Namarou Paradise Bungalows opened in 2006, a welcome addition to the variety of accommodation around north Efate.

The bungalows are at the end of the village on the sand spit between the beach and the lagoon. It's a place with blue, sunny days and a cooling breeze through the night.

Emao is a small island making it easy to explore. They have a marine conservation area with good snorkelling. You can walk around the island or climb it. Then you can go back to the bungalow and laze on the beach.
