The hardest thing about Aore is the pronunciation - 'ow-ree'. This is a laid-back boutique island resort just 3km across the channel from Santo (10 minutes).

There are 16 bungalows (3 garden and 13 beachfront) and all have private bathrooms, hot showers, refrigerators, tea/coffee making facilities and fans.

Anne, Ali and Jodi will make you feel welcome and look after your every need and while there's excellent snorkelling, handy world-famous diving, kayaking and caves to explore, perhaps the most memorable thrill will be of sitting on your balcony, looking across to Santo to the sounds of waves lapping and fish skimming.
