Description

Property ID: 36980972
Some properties are just land. This one is a legend.
Secret Gardens sits on a full hectare at Mele Maat, tucked behind the ring road in one of the most established pockets on Efate. For years this was the treehouse you told people about. A restaurant built around two enormous living trees, with a mezzanine lounge in the branches and a pool below it. Guests came for lunch and stayed until dark.
It has been quiet since 2020. That is the opportunity.
You get 10,373 square metres of flat, mature, tropical land. Two road frontages, with main access straight off the Efate ring road. Big established trees that took forty years to grow and cannot be bought at any price. The gardens have been kept, so you are walking into shade and colour, not scrub.
The bones are all here. A 415 square metre treehouse restaurant with kitchen, bar, storage and patron’s amenities. Nine guest bungalows, each with living space, private terrace and bathroom. A swimming pool with spa. A shop building at the front. Mains power from Unelco. Bore water fed to a storage tank, so you are not tied to town supply. Septic drainage. Full Vodafone and Digicel coverage.
Be clear eyed about the buildings. They need real work. Roofs, timber, fittings, the lot. Bring a builder, bring a budget, and bring vision. What you are buying is a hectare of irreplaceable land, a resort footprint that already exists, and a name people in this town still recognise.
Think boutique retreat. Wellness centre. Wedding and events venue. Villa compound. Or simply hold the land and watch Mele grow toward you.
You are six kilometres from Port Vila. Minutes from Hideaway Island, the Mele Cascades and the Vanuatu Jungle Zipline. Restaurants, transport and the airport road are all within reach.
Properties this size, this close to town, with this much established growth on them, do not come up often. When they go, they go quickly.
