The Most accessible accommodation on Santo
The ultimate combination of accessibility and adventure awaits! At the Coolidge Beach Resort, you can experience the thrill of diving the world’s most accessible shipwreck, the SS President Coolidge, while enjoying the world’s most accessible accommodation, Camp Coolidge. No need to break the bank or compromise on comfort. Wake up steps from the beach, gear up, and plunge into history within minutes. It’s the perfect blend of affordability, convenience, and unforgettable underwater exploration.
Here’s how it works
- Bring your own tent or rent one on arrival from the resort for $10 per night or $50 per week.
- Donate your mattress at the end of your stay to help local families in need. In Vanuatu, many families struggle without basic necessities like beds. Your mattress donation will go directly to the local paramount chief, who distributes them to those in need within the Banban community. You can purchase a mattress from the resort for $60 or find one in Luganville town. Don’t worry about bringing a mattress with you!
- Enjoy affordable accommodation in a secure camping area with hot showers, toilets, and access to The Lady Bar (our restaurant and fully licensed bar) or cook your own meals on our wood fired BBQ facilities.
- Experience the camaraderie of fellow divers around a beach campfire.
Camp Coolidge is ideal for
- School groups interested in community engagement and cultural exchange. Opportunities exist to help out or visit local schools, fostering meaningful connections.
- Dive clubs seeking an affordable and adventurous base for their diving trips.
- Budget-conscious travellers who love camping and the outdoors.
- Anyone who wants to experience the magic of the Coolidge without breaking the bank!
