Rubio Plantation Retreat is located along the scenic Boluminski Highway, 220 km from Kavieng and 50 km from Namatanai, New Ireland Province.

Rubio Plantation starts from the beach and goes up into the mountains.

The bungalows are made from native materials and are located along the beachfront.

The kitchen serves three meals a day and offers meals combining European, Asian and local foods and styles, including home baked bread and pastries featuring chocolate made from the plantation.

Rubio offers activities such as surfing, caving, hiking, bird watching, canoeing, biking, including cocoa plantation and chocolate-making tours.

The surf season in this part of New Ireland is from mid-October to mid-May. Rubio has consistent surf breaks right on its beachfront. There are also many other wonderful breaks in the area.
