Vanuatu – just a short flight from Australia and New Zealand lie these paradise islands. Check out the top places to relax and explore here!
Most visitors to Vanuatu arrive at the nation’s capital, Port Vila, situated on the main island of Efate. Vila, as it’s affectionately known, sits at the edge of a magnificent natural harbor filled with corals and sea life.
Learn about the local culture at Ekasup Cultural Village. Here, proud villagers are waiting to share their centuries-old customs, crafts, music and stories. For nature lovers, the Espiritu Santo’s sleepy capital Luganville, is a great place to visit natural wonders. Visit the islands off Santo’s southern coast, such as Aore Island, Bokissa Island and Malo Island.
Visitors also frequent Tanna Island, which is fringed with beaches ranging from pure white to black volcanic sands. Many of the hillside villages on Tanna remain unspoiled by modern life. Visit Mt. Yasur, one of the world’s most active and accessible volcanoes.
After experiencing the warmth and generosity of Vanuatu’s people during your vacation, it’s easy to feel that Vanuatu could be one of richest places on earth.
