Vanuatu

Variety, vibrancy, volcanoes.


Variety, vibrancy, volcanoes − these words aptly describe Vanuatu. This necklace of lush islands in the South Pacific offers travellers a captivating and divergent choice of experiences - from fine dining to adventure tourism. Vanuatu’s rich volcanic soil and climate have helped give the country’s Santo  beef, and the coffee grown on the island of Tanna a worldwide reputation for quality. Where better to sample these culinary delights than in a French restaurant in the cosmopolitan capital, Port Vila. Or join in one of the Melanesian feasts organised by the major resorts. 


Vanuatu is waiting for you to visit. Chat to our Vanuatu travel specialists and together, let’s plan your perfect Vanuatu escape today.

Best time to go.

The best time to visit Vanuatu is from May to October, offering cooler and drier weather perfect for outdoor adventures. For cultural enthusiasts, April to June is ideal to witness the Naghol land diving. The wet season from November to April brings lush landscapes but also higher humidity and cyclone risks.
