Sustainability at Aore Adventures
Aore Island is one of the most beautiful places in the world and we are passionate about keeping it this way. We are not just paying lip service to the philosophy of sustainability; we have made real decisions to the setting up of the resort to significantly reduce our impact on the environment.
Our Sustainability Initiatives
Upon setting up, we immediately undertook a sustainability analysis of the island to determine the population of guests and staff the resort could reasonably sustain on a long-term basis. A particular emphasis was placed on water resources, power consumption and waste management and recycling.
The major result of our analysis has been the reduction in the number of guests our villa can accommodate, & how many staff we need to operate. The benefits are twofold, the consumption of resources has been significantly reduced and our guests share the island with fewer people, further enhancing the feeling of privacy and seclusion for which Aore is renowned.

Our Commitment to Sustainability
Our Staff
We have only employed local Ni-Van staff from Aore and Santo. And we have undertaken training programs with them that not only are for their work positions with us, but will give them added skills if they ever decide to venture out for further employment opportunities. We have also helped them with their local villages and land acquisitions where possible.
Education programs have been implemented for water collection, waste management and sanitisation in their local communities as well.
Our Message
We have put down moorings on most of our dive sites to avoid damaging the reef and wrecks and will continue to add these as time progresses, where there are no moorings we anchor on sand . Divers are also educated on the history and preservation of all WWII sites including the SS President Coolidge, USS Tucker, Million Dollar Point and implement a “no take” policy from all wrecks and reef. We look forward to welcoming you to Espiritu Santo and aore Aore by sharing with you the natural beauty of the island and our philosophy of sustainability.
