Dreaming of your 2021 holiday?
Thinking somewhere small & beautiful? Away from hustle & bustle?
For many, planning a holiday now comes with concerns about travelling and how to avoid crowds.
With only 11 individual apartments Fatumaru Lodge is the perfect boutique hotel option to keep it quiet & easy.
We are pushing for the Tasman Bubble to be open to Vanuatu Covid Free country...But Authorities are slow to make it happen..
We have bookings with you for end of this year! Praying the bubble happens but if not we will be seeing you in 2021 and we cannot wait!! 🥰
So sad we’ll miss your Independence Day celebrations 🎉- are they still going ahead as planned or has Covid ruined that too 😡
Would love to be there!! Best wishes & love to all 💗💗

Keeping it Safe for You:
While travel is currently not possible across most international borders, the hospitality industry is busy embracing procedural changes to ensure guest safety for when tourism resumes.
At Fatumaru Lodge we are undertaking training on new procedures to conform these new guidelines & standards.
This is Nettie, our head housekeeper, undertaking a room sanitation (disinfection). We now have in place, a detailed sanitizing checklist that will ensure everything from powerpoints, to coat hangers and salt & pepper shakers are disinfected between guest stays.
I’ve always felt safe at Fatumaru xx
Our first small group yoga session with Ananda Yoga and Healing Center. It was lovely and so relaxed!
Ananda Yoga and Healing Center
Happy to offer our new bar, pool lounge, zen space for yoga and meditative practice. So helpful in this time of high stress. Thank you Tu and Laurent for making it happen.
Before & after, our new and improved poolside bar & breakfast lounge.
We are booked to stay with you in November (we hope) and cannot wait🥰 it looks great!
So praying we don’t have to cancel / change our holiday later this year.
Are you open to the general public for breakfast?
Can’t wait to visit 😍
Looks great
At Fatumaru Lodge we are preparing for when we can see you again; until then - we are sending you some beautiful smiles, may your day be brighter. Enjoy.

Hi girls 😘

Jen and Julie miss you both xx
Looking beautiful as usual 😘😘

Bisous de Nouvelle Calédonie.. 😘😍😁👌
Introducing a little something different for us, but we all need a little something different right now. Please come and join Rachel at Fatumaru Lodge to keep moving. Stay for a coffee 🙂 We need to practice on our new coffee machine. Message us to book your space.
The next 3 months will be the toughest months that the tourism industry in Vanuatu will ever have gone through. It is with massive appreciation that we share this certificate of appreciation to Kate and Peter Adkins, who very kindly donated their reservation towards paying our staff salaries. We are doing our very best to keep our doors open and our staff working and every little bit helps.
So pleased to see people supporting business in Vanuatu during this difficult time. Selling accomodation vouchers for next year is a great idea. Such a difficult time for everyone. I have my eye on the Penthouse suite for the future.
Our Deluxe Penthouse Apartment is available for short and long term rentals. 16,000 vt per night (up to 7 nights) / 80,000 vt per week / 240,000 vatu per month. Gated property with overnight security, includes utilities and unlimited wifi. Swimming pool, kayaks, paddle boards + BBQ area.
Message us to find out more.
When this is all over Tim Luehrssen let's head here for a month!

Fatumaru Lodge Update:
Category 5 TC Harold starting crossing the islands of Vanuatu on Monday afternoon and passed north of Efate island in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Port Vila was south of the cyclone's path and escaped the worst; Fatumaru Lodge sustained no damage and our doors are open.
Our thoughts and prayers are with our brothers and sisters in the north.
Is there any word locally on whether there have been any fatalities?
So glad you’re all safe having been thinking and praying for you all 🙏🏻🙏🏻
In what honestly feels like the toughest day to be at work in a month, I went looking for a photo in my files that was full of hope and sunshine. As I sit to read cyclone updates for the coming days in our very quiet, little hotel, I leave you with this photo of a family trip the gorgeous island of Pele, north of Efate. It was a magical weekend exploring and enjoying time with family. A reminder for me, and for you, that sunshine and good times lie ahead. Our thoughts and wishes to all those around the world who are having a tough day.
#wellkeepitbeautifulforyou #goodtimesahead #answerthecallofvanuatu #fatumarulodge
Yes I know it's so tough ... It's also really tough being tough for all the people that are depending on you and your strength .. I am really so sorry for our northern brothers and sisters .. it's just a bit too much .. but we are woman Vanuatu and we will make it through
Take care Rae - thinking of you. Xxx
This was a great weekend may there be many more in the future. I guess if we learn one thing from this monster and it is to appreciate your friends and family and that we should be taking the time to smell the roses and enjoy what we have no matter how small it is
Stay safe Rae and all at Fatumaru 🙏🏻
Stay safe & well my wonderful friends!
Can’t wait till it’s all over and we can come back again-such a pity to miss Independence Day inJuly but will celebrate for you in isolation ❤️
Fatumaru Lodge refuses to close.
Recent economic assessments in Vanuatu estimate that each ni-Vanuatu income earner supports 7 dependents in their family- this statistic has recently increased due to the number of businesses that have been impelled to close their doors temporarily . Our last guest left yesterday, it could be easy for us to close for 4 months. But we refuse to close and let all our staff go.
Staff salary is our priority, we will remain open to accommodate stranded guests, or locals in need of a comfortable and secure location to wait out the situation. We have reduced services on offer, including our breakfast service (now room service only) to minimize risks to staff and guests.
Staff rosters and guest use of outdoor areas will be adjusted so that there are minimal numbers in any one area at one time. At the same time people need to breathe. We are looking at mini-groups for yoga classes (max 4), aqua gym (max 4) and beginner paddle board classes (max 3) hence the social gathering restrictions will not be breached.
We have slashed our rates with two goals:
1. Pay our staff and suppliers
2. Be more affordable for tourists who did not anticipate such a long holiday (we are self-contained)!
Staff Update: Many of you will be familiar with these lovely ladies picture,
Jennifer is maintained on maternity leave with her new baby (it’s a girl!!!!!!) and Nettie and Julie who are main income earners for their families are taking turns at holding down the fort and ensuring our guests are as comfortable as possible. Oh...then there's me (Rae) keeping social media going, keeping in touch with guests about reservations....and learning how to home school- yeesh!
I wish we were there. I can think of worse places to isolate (like Melbourne). We had such a lovely stay last year. Fingers crossed for 2021.
Kiss
That’s fabulous Rae great that you can keep your lovely staff Nettie and Julie employed and congratulations to Jennifer on he new baby girl 👧 (name?)😘😘pls all stay safe and we look forward to visiting our ‘ home away from home’ as soon as we can xxx Maybe yr Independence Day can wait a bit ???
Good luck, and stay safe xx And congratulations to Jennifer 😍
Locals and stranded tourists alike might be looking for somewhere to relax and work in peace during this difficult time. As we have committed to keep staff employed while we can, we remain open! Call us on +678 23456 or email reservation@fatumaru.com
