The Marovo Lagoon.
Mavo Eco Lodge sits on the edge of one of the most extraordinary marine ecosystems on the planet. The Marovo Lagoon — a proposed UNESCO World Heritage Site — is the world's largest saltwater lagoon, sheltered by a double barrier reef and home to over 700 fish species and pristine coral formations.
The Western Province of Solomon Islands is widely described as the mecca of Solomon Islands tourism — and Ramata Island, where Mavo sits, is among its most unspoiled corners.
