Welcome to Hotel Santo: 50 years of Welcome

A Colourful Tropical Classic in the Heart of Santo

Unmistakably 70s, Hotel Santo has been welcome guests since 1975. Located in the center of Luganville, surrounded by shops, the hotel offers a peaceful tropical garden retreat filled with birdsong, mature trees and relaxed island living.

• 30 comfortable rooms, including 22 Air conditionned Balcony rooms on the elegant first floor and 8 Garden rooms with ceiling fan.
• A swimming pool with its original retro tiles.
• A traditional open-air fare surrounded by tropical gardens.  
• The President Coolidge Bar displays original relics from the historic shipwreck.
• A relaxed restaurant serving generous meals prepared with fresh local produce.

Where Island Time Meets a Timeless Story 

For over fifty years, Hotel Santo has been part of the story of Espiritu Santo.

More than simply a place to stay, the hotel is filled with character—from original artwork and traditional tamtams in the foyer to tropical gardens that invite you to slow down and enjoy island life.

Over the decades we've welcomed business travellers, government leaders, divers exploring the SS President Coolidge, families on holiday, and generations of returning guests who appreciate genuine hospitality.

We're proudly independent and family-owned, not part of a hotel chain. Our guests return for the same reasons they always have: a warm welcome, comfortable rooms, relaxed surroundings and a team that genuinely enjoys looking after people.
