Zoleilo is a place to slow down, connect with nature, and experience the Solomon Islands in an authentic way. Guests stay in traditional leaf-house bungalows by the sea, share fresh meals from the garden and reef, and join walks, snorkelling, or cultural activities that bring the island to life.

Zoleilo began its journey as Yawana Dive, a small dive shop on the southwest coast of Vella Lavella Island (see our old facebook). Back then, we welcomed travellers eager to explore the reefs, discover hidden WWII wrecks, and meet the people of our island.
The sea and its stories were at the heart of everything we did.As time passed, our vision grew beyond diving alone. We wanted to create a place where guests could slow down, feel at home in nature, and experience the full richness of island life. That shift inspired the change to Zoleilo Bungalows.
