Inns in Vanuatu

We just loved it at Tamanu! We had spent 3 nights prior at the Warwick Le Lagon, and would say that Tamanu was substantially better. From the moment we first walked in to the moment we left, everything was taken care of for us by the wonderful and attentive staff. The rooms are lovely and very comfortable with wonderful views, sea breeze and air con. Our room (unit 4) was absolute beach front and a 30 second walk to the restaurant and beach. The menu is modern that highlights the produce in the...

Loved everything about our stay! We only had five nights. Wish it had been more. Anne, Petter and staff were so welcoming and the care and small touches make it a special place. I did my PADI recertification while I was there. So pleased to be back diving again. If you want wonderful snorkelling straight off the beach, home-cooked meals using fresh local produce, an intimate setting, clean, spacious and comfortable accommodation and a chance to experience the real Vanuatu this is the place for...

My family (2 adults, 2 kids) stayed at Erakor Island for 8 nights in January 2023. The resort is on its own island, which is a 5 minute free ferry ride from the jetty in Efate, which itself is about a 15 minute bus ride from the centre of Port Vila. The island is stunningly beautiful, with crystal blue waters surrounding the coconut and palm jungle. The resort is very low scale and laid back - accommodation is in a series of detached buildings scattered around the island, with shared...

This was our first holiday in Vanuatu so was unsure what to expect. Before we left Brisbane, Bessie the Manager from Fatumaru Lodge had emailed to enquire about transfers from the airport to the accommodation - this was the beginning of our wonderful stay, we already felt welcomed and catered for. We were cheerfully and warmly greeted by all of the staff on arrival and shown directly to our beachside apartment, when we opened the French doors to the view it was breathtaking. It was great having...

I loved my stay at The Moso.. the setting is beautiful, and all the staff were amazing and so helpful and friendly. The food was great, and it was lovely chatting to the other guests. I would also highly recommend a walk to Embas beach for a lovely secluded swim!

We stayed here before moving onto a resort, however Pacific Lagoon Apartments was half the cost of the resort and my family agrees we liked it better. The reasons we liked it was everything was there, you can kayak across the lagoon to an expensive resort and hang out there for the day, snorkel in the lagoon, catch a ride into town with a local cheaply.

had a wonderful 6 nights at Nasama Resort. The room was more than adequate for the two of us as well as our two children. The children loved collecting shells and coral off the beach every morning, and had a great time in the kids pool. The added kitchen was a bonus, we got fruit and vegetables every second day at the market in town so no need to go out and spend money on breakfast and lunch. The staff were wonderful with us and especially the children. The snorkeling off the reef was great, our...

Super attentive and friendly and great location. They even drove a forgotten piece of clothing to us at the airport… amazing!!

We stayed on Ratau in Dec for 8 nights and loved it, our house Pig was the furthest away but we thought the most beautiful. You wake up to a stunning secluded beach of your own, the house was well decorated, spacious, with lots of various seats to rest on and only 10 min walk to the Yacht Club. Staff are so attentive and make your feel very welcome, reception are great at arranging all your onsite and offsite trips. Enjoyed the entertainment put on ensuring guests learn about the...

Fabulous view, great location, friendly and helpful staff and owners, delicious food. I couldn't fault this place and will definitely stay again if in Luganville.

I stayed at Breakas with my partner for 5 lovely nights which unfortunately came to an end but we left knowing that we'll definitely be back. On arrival we were impressed to be greeted with a drink and locally made shell necklace before being shown to our beachfront Fare. We were in Fare 5 which was right next to the restaurant so had some trepidation that we may be kept awake by noisy diners but that wasn't a problem at all. As Breakas doesn't allow kids we found that everyone was there for...

The Mangoes resort exceeded our expectations for our 5 night stay in Port Vila. The grounds were lovely, the bungalows very well kept, the views were amazing, and the staff were always very helpful. The dining was very good quality and at a reasonable price. Mangoes is situated far enough away from the loud and busy main town centre to be quiet at night, yet close enough to walk easily to shops and other restaurants. All the bus drivers know the resort and because it's still in the township of...

We stayed in the 2 bedroom beachfront unit in March 2017. Unit is right on beach in a quiet location. Your view looks out over Mele Bay and Hideaway Island. There is a Café/ bar poolside and the ladies their serve excellent cocktails! Also a beach bar restaurant just 1 minute walk down the beach from apartment that has an amazing Fire Show every Friday night! The staff at Vanuatu Beachfront Apartments are very good at helping organise any day trips you might want to do. Highly recommend the zip...

Vila Chaumières hotel is a lovely little place for a tranquil stay, just 6 rooms/bungalows, situated on the tidal lagoon where you can spend hours just watching the fish from the open-air restaurant or the jetty. There's a small pool and you can kayak on the inlet. I appreciated its being just for adults. Getting to town or anywhere is easy - the bus-vans come along the road every few seconds day and night and cost only a dollar or two to most places; you're into Port Vila within 10 minutes even...

Good accomodation

Enjoyed our stay. The most modern hotel in Vila. Great opening specials.

We stayed at the end of September 2015 and there was really no sign of any after effects of Cyclone Pam 5 months earlier, except that the gardens looked as if they were fairly newly planted - and beautifully so.Our ocean front fare was wonderful. The bed was enormous and very comfortable and the view through the palm trees to the ocean was so relaxing. We were greeted by the lovely Magalie who was super helpful with sorting out a slight problem with a tour we had booked for that afternoon. The...

My partner and I stayed at Cocomo from the 2nd to the 8th of November and couldn't be happier with our stay. For starters, we were upgraded to the waterfront villa due to small construction taking place at the pool deck. The hotel staff were incredibly welcoming, helpful and always happy to field any questions we had. The restaurant was also a major hit as my coeliac / gluten free girlfriend was well looked after by the chef. The manager felix was great with helping me book all our tours...

We booked this location for 2 x nights in Oct as a group of 7. 2 x grand parents, 2 x adults, and 3 kids (Ages 8, 7 and 5). We opted for 3 seperate rooms next to each other and it could not have been a better scenario although I am aware that there is a family type room. The rooms are very adequate and although no aircons were in place, the temperature with the sea breeze was great (our kids used the blankets even). The lodge is low key and immediately relaxing. It is a small-ish resort, at...
