Our Story
Exclusive Sunrise Resort is an intimate, family-owned sanctuary crafted by Colin and Samantha Honey. The journey of this remarkable resort began with Clare and Michael, the original owners whose passion and dedication laid the foundation for something special. In 2023, the resort was passed to the Niceforo family, who transformed it into an adults-only, all-inclusive retreat designed to offer guests a serene and private luxury escape.
Every moment at Exclusive Sunrise Resort is designed with you in mind — ensuring a seamless experience where everything is taken care of so you can simply arrive, unwind, and indulge in Vanuatu’s natural beauty. Our all-inclusive packages allow you to relax, explore, and reconnect without the pressures of everyday life.
Colin, a former Air Force firefighter and Emergency Response Officer, and Samantha, with a background in education and real estate, bring together a shared commitment to heartfelt service, hospitality, and unforgettable guest experiences. Their vision reimagines the resort as a haven of barefoot luxury — where adventure meets tranquillity and the spirit of Vanuatu surrounds every stay.
Every detail reflects our dedication to quality, connection, and the refined beauty of the South Pacific.
