Jais Aben Resort

Top choice in Papua New Guinea


This lovely resort resides on its own pretty peninsula, with private swimming beaches and sweeping lawns. The beachside bungalows are airy and comfortable, with enclosed verandas and seafront outlooks. The ‘deluxe’ bungalows have air-con. A beachfront bar fronts an excellent swimming beach and serves burgers, steaks (K26–40) and drinks. The fine-dining Cocos restaurant boasts a seasonal menu incorporating local and international dishes.

The resort is 20km from Madang, 3km off the highway. Town and airport transfers are free for guests. PMV 17A runs along the main road from Madang (K1) but stops 1km shy of the resort.
