Book accommodation in Port Vila for your fun-filled vacation in Vanuatu

You might want to join the thousands of tourists who flock to Vanuatu’s idyllic shores each year, just so you can see what all the fuss is about. Well, you are unlikely to be disappointed! There are many good reasons why this island region in the South Pacific was named “The Happiest Place on Earth” by the Happy Planet Index report. If you find a good central accommodation to base your trip on, it won’t take long to figure out why.

Port Vila is probably the best place to find accommodation for your stay in the Vanuatu islands, as it is the capital and located in the center of the island of Efate in the province of Shefa. From here, all the delights of Vanuatu are at your fingertips! You can sample some of Port Vila’s culturally diverse heritage, which has strong British and French heritage. The locals often speak French, along with English and Bislama, and French cuisine is also available. So say ‘Hello!’ Bask in the warm island sun and prepare to experience all the attractions that keep tourists coming back each year.

When planning what to see and do, it can often be helpful to consult with the staff or owners of your Port Vila accommodation. They may have connections to local tour companies and can offer advice on popular activities. You should definitely visit ‘Mama’s Market’ where the local Port Vila ladies gather to sell their handmade garments and crafts. There are plenty of other places to shop in Port Vila, and it’s easy to find unique Vanuatu-flavored gifts to take home.

For those who enjoy the outdoors and want to add some excitement to their free time, perhaps they would like to investigate by taking a boat trip from Port Vila to one of the other neighboring islands. You can then explore the native jungle, or perhaps go spelunking. Swimming with the dolphins in the clear, warm water is another option. Or, you could add an animal protection element to your trip and sponsor one of the rare tortoises at the local hatchery reserve.

Returning to your Port Vila accommodation after a fun day of activities should be something to look forward to, so be sure to choose a comfortable and well-situated resort as your holiday base. There are so many things to do in Port Vila that it’s unlikely your stay will be long enough to check them all off your list… so you’ll probably end up coming back for more!
