PAPUA NEW gUINEA Jais Aben Resort Jais Aben means 'resting place' in the local language and many guests say this is precisely the feeling they have upon arrival at Jais Aben Resort. Nestled in Nagada Harbour on the Madang coastline, the beautiful Jais Aben is just 19 kilometres from Madang. It is situated on what was formerly a coconut plantation, and the beauty of the resort never fails to impress the firsttime visitor. The open-air lobby reveals an incredible ocean vista while the resort is surrounded by manicured grounds abounding with floral life and fruit trees. Bungalows on the edge of the ocean The resort features 32 accommodation units, including eight new bungalows, with 20 more to come. All are situated right at the ocean's edge, perfect to catch the sea breezes. Jais Aben is a progressive resort, constantly adding attractions and facilities for families seeking a getaway, adventurers looking for the ultimate trip, or couples wishing to book the entire resort for an exotic wedding. All in-house guests also have complimentary access to a state-of-theart fitness centre that boasts the best equipment from Australia. Guests of Jais Aben have the ocean at their fingertips, starting with the beach at the Bridge Bar where children love to play in the water while parents watch from the comfort of their table. Coastal tours, fishing and snorkelling trips are easily arranged at the Ocean Centre, or snorkel right from the pristine waters at the beach. Sea kayaks are available for an ocean adventure or a paddle through the neighbouring village. For nonswimmers, incredible underwater life can be witnessed simply by walking along the Bridge Bar walkway where dolphins have been known to swim past to the delight of onlookers. A trip up the coast with Jais Aben's tour bus or by boat to see the huge volcanic Kar Kar Island, or a visit to the vegetable market in town is particularly recommended. Many people are awestruck with the quality, freshness and size of the all-natural produce offered there. When it's time to dine, Jais Aben features alfresco dining at Oceanside under the able direction of Chef Carl Rayner who produces an array of tantalising meals. While you are dining, you can see the villagers paddling past in their outriggers. For the ultimate in exotic, and a world you haven't experienced, Jais Aben Resort is a breathtaking destination.
