G eor g e W insl e t t After several years of dreaming and planning I am finally able to sit by the fabulous Breakas pool and write the text for this brochure. Working in paradise is a hard task but as the old saying goes: “Somebody has to do it.” Way back when I purchased the land for Breakas Resort I instinctively knew that the site demanded special attention – detail that would add to rather than detract from the pure, natural beauty of the bay. My design criteria was to create an ambience of quiet, personal relaxation. Guests are not customers in my mind – rather you are friends visiting my home and your peace of mind and enjoyment is my goal. Over the years many families have expressed an interest in owning a piece of the fabulous Breakas Beach (adjoining the resort). Finally your dreams can become a reality – however only for a maximum of 30 astute investors. I commissioned Geoff Feast, Vanuatu’s leading architect, to create a world class concept to compliment and enhance the natural beauty of the bay. The famous Breakas Resort lends itself beautifully to the free fl owing designs that Geoff has created. He has truly captured the essence of peace and tranquility with his latest designs of breathtaking three bedroom villas. Utilising Melanesian design principles, complete with natangoran (thatched) roofing, the villas blend artistically with nature to provide a slice of heaven on earth. Eighteen of the villas are direct beachfront while another twelve have unrestricted access to the beach through the dedicated clubhouse area. In a first for Vanuatu, each villa features a private pool and tropical garden area. Each villa is strata titled and attached to each title is a dedicated car parking space. In addition to offering you the opportunity to secure a piece of paradise, I can offer you a full management service to provide you with the best possible return on your investment. Purchase one of these magnificent villas as an investment or as a home and you can be assured you are making one of the wisest investment decisions ever as this is the last opportunity to own a piece of beautiful Breakas Beach – there is simply no more land available. Currently two display villas are being built for your inspection. A superb “coral” pool is also under construction which is one of the key elements in the overall design. My experience in Vanuatu indicates that substantial capital gain will flow from the purchase of a villa in Breakas Resort. I look forward to talking to you in the near future. Regards,
George. George Winslett

Dear Investor The Y shaped chain of Islands making up Vanuatu is best described as the “Isles of Smiles”. Visitors are quick to appreciate the warm friendly nature of the Ni Vanuatu people with their carefree happy nature and attitude to life. Many holidaymakers so enjoy their experiences in this unique country that they dream of purchasing a piece of this paradise. Several exciting developments are currently under way in and around Port Vila and my Government welcome these well planned initiatives. The employment created in the development and construction stages is of immense benefit in the ongoing boost to the burgeoning tourism industry and resultant employment opportunities. Most investors “pool” their villas to resort management so enjoying the best of two worlds, a villa for their own holidays and a return on funds through the resort management. The management of Breakas Beach Resort has embarked on an exciting tourism initiative offering investors a unique tourism investment on our only surf beach in Port Vila and in turn my people enjoy excellent employment opportunities. I would like you to thoroughly explore the benefits to you through this once in a lifetime opportunity. The happiness you derive from participating in Breakas will be multiplied many times by the employment opportunities you will create for my people. I welcome Breakas Beach Resort 30 new villa development and you as a first time investor in Vanuatu. I wish you many happy holidays in our island paradise called “Isle of Smiles”. Yours Faithfully

Overview Breaka s Beach
Situated approximately 5 minutes from downtown Port Vila and 15 minutes from the International Airport Breakas Beach Resort, offers the only area for surfing in Port Vila and the coral just offshore abounds with exotic tropical fish.
Many of the traditional land owners, the Pango people, are employed at Breakas Beach Resort as well as on the construction of the new villas. Approximately 90% (by value) of materials used in the project are from local sources creating much needed employment for the local traditional people. Facing south west, Breakas Beach enjoys cooling breezes and pristine clean, clear waters. Protected by a natural reef, the beach is an unmatched peaceful waterfront experience. Imagine owning a villa so close to the Pacific Ocean that the only thing that stands between you and the water is a private white sand beach. This spectacular, pristine, and sought after beachfront setting will become even more precious as the worlds coveted locations become surrounded by unsightly high rise developments. Real estate ownership at Breakas Beach provides you with the ultimate tropical investment opportunity and combines the rejuvenating qualities of a Pacific holiday home with the benefits of a never to be repeated beachfront investment location. Owners may take advantage of a rental management service with Breakas Resort, providing you with a hassle free luxury investment. Breakas Beach villa ownership represents an extremely rare opportunity. It is a luxury to be shared with friends and family and enjoyed by future generations.
Breakas Beach is truly unique. Only minutes to Port Vila but far enough away to enjoy true peace and quiet Superb snorkelling right at your door Port Vila’s only surfing area Magnificent sunsets viewed from the beach Opportunity to meet and mingle with the wonderful Pango people

Breaka s Lifest yle
Breakas Beach Resort is renowned for its unique secluded, romantic beachfront setting that gives immediate peace and relaxation yet is only a few minutes to Port Vila township.
When you walk through the entrance at Breakas Beach Resort you are struck with the breathtaking vista that unfolds before your eyes. The pristine infinity pool blends seamlessly into the myriad of colours of the Pacific Ocean only metres away. Stroll on and it is impossible not to be overwhelmed with the sheer natural beauty of the Breakas Beach bay.
The outdoor restaurant area is magnificent in its casual approach to elegance and at night the stylish dining table settings with their twinkling table lanterns transport the senses to another world. Dining at Breakas means experiencing cuisine at its finest. Delight the palate while enjoying stunning views of the pristine beaches and azure water of the Pacific. Savour creations from fresh, local produce infused with Pacific Island flavours and spices. At one end of the huge pool is a swim-up bar which is the focus for socialising, day and night. Sipping cocktails on the beach in front of the bar at sunset is an experience never to be forgotten. The traditional “Fares” are constructed from local materials to blend with the environment and it is difficult to believe that thirty units are scattered so discreetly through the beautifully landscaped resort. Seclusion is the keynote. Employing well trained Ni Vanuatu staff guarantees that the entire resort runs on friendliness and the endless smiles that seem to beam from these wonderful “never too much trouble” people. A dedicated spa unit is nestled into a landscaped garden area. You simply could not fi nd a more serene location to release all of those pent up pressures of life. Recently Breakas was selected by one of the world’s premier holiday marketing companies as the only Vanuatu resort worthy of their listing.
THE NEW VILLAS At all times throughout the design process the integrity of the existing resort has been of paramount importance. The new villa concept will not in any way detract, rather it will enhance and blend with the Breakas Beach Resort. In early 2008 the Resort is to undergo a complete refurbishment. Many new features are planned and are designed to ensure that Breakas remains the most stylish resort in the South Pacific.

Opportunity S Once in a Lif e t i m e Opp ort uni t y This is your exclusive, once in a lifetime opportunity to capture a tiny piece of paradise.
Imagine being able to escape whenever you feel the need to relax coupled with the knowledge that your home away from home is able to provide a healthy financial return as well. The villas are exotic and romantic, combining traditional Vanuatu and tropical architecture with modern technology and convenience. Every detail of the project has been artfully conceived, considered, researched and contracted to an efficient construction team. In the year to June 2006, Vanuatu has enjoyed an increase of 18.2% in tourist visits. The opportunity for further substantial increases is currently hampered by lack of accommodation. Investing in Breakas Beach villas is an opportunity to share in future tourist escalation. This is truly a remarkable investment opportunity.
