Papua New Guinea is a land that time forgot. 850 different languages and cultural groups. You walk down the road and find a clan with a different way of life to the one you just left. You ask “how do you say thank you in your language?” They say, “in which language?” There’s hardly any roads, cars, scooters or bikes. Most people never travel far from their village. People don’t have ‘jobs’. They live in their villages, work in their gardens, go fishing, build houses from scratch, care for their family. Wealth is communal. There’s no garbage collection, because there’s hardly any waste. Canoes are carved from trees and when it’s been dry, you drink coconut water instead.

They live more ‘sustainably’ than our gadgets, money and good intentions ever could. If you need to shake up your perspective, this is the place.

An experience money truly can’t buy. You just have to come and live it.

Nusa Island Retreat has a style and charm that is a fresh and a welcome change from your conventional holiday destination. Located on the outer reaches of the Niugini Islands, New Ireland is considered one of the safest and most relaxed provinces in Papua New Guinea with welcoming Melanesian hospitality. The Retreat is situated only a couple of minutes boat ride from the capital of Kavieng, making it perfectly positioned to the conveniences of town, yet far enough to be a world away!

The Retreat is set on a sheltered white sandy point which offers safe swimming and encompasses picturesque views back across the aqua blues of Kavieng Harbour. It exudes a relaxed and easy going feel from the moment you set foot on the beach and bury your toes in the sand.
