Situated on ‘Ofu, an island with only 100 residents
in the Vava’u Island Group, the Melino Resort
& Writers Wranch is a prime piece of island property
with a long sandy beach, a protected boat landing and
7+ acres of lush tropical vegetation with a wide variety
of fruit trees, including mango, papaya, bread fruit
and banana. The main lodge features a colonial style
veranda overlooking the crystal clear water and another
smaller neighboring island a few hundred yards away.
The
resort was formerly operated as the Mahina Lodge Resort,
however, it has been closed since 2002 and very little
maintenance has been done to the property since. In
addition to the main lodge, there are six “fales”
(bungalows) and multiple supply and storage buildings.

The Melino Resort & Writers Wranch will become an
exclusive getaway catering to people in search of a private
and quiet place to escape and pursue creative expression.
“Melino” in the Tongan native language means
“peace” and “serenity” and those
virtues will be primary benefits for future resort guests
(in addition to the incredible scenery and the tropical
climate, of course).
The entire resort will be rebuilt to luxury resort standards,
beginning with the main lodge. Native hard woods and natural
materials will be used extensively with a planned result
equaling the finest resort accommodations found in the
Tahitian islands, Fiji or any place else in the South
Pacific. Individual fales will feature private baths and
kitchenettes, as well as ocean-facing lanais. Tentative
occupancy date is May, 2009. |
