Vanuatu

Variety, vibrancy, volcanoes.


Volcanoes, fine dining, and endless island adventures

Welcome to Vanuatu, where every experience is as vibrant and diverse as the islands themselves. Picture yourself sipping freshly-brewed Tanna coffee grown in rich volcanic soils or savouring melt-in-your-mouth Santo beef at a charming French eatery. From culinary delights in bustling Port Vila to traditional feasts under starlit skies, every bite is a delicious memory in the making.

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.
