Day 1: Fly into Port Vila and meet our friendly representative who will guide you to the coach. The hotel is but four kilometres away, within 10 minutes you’ll be checked in and relaxing on your apartment balcony. Ask the hotel concierge about the activities and specials planned at the hotel for the week.
Days 2-5: Have a hearty breakfast and then decide whether you want to live it up or tune it all the way down. The hotel’s private beach is perfect for relaxing with a good book, with spells of swimming and snorkelling thrown in for variety.
But beyond the default crystal-clear waters, we’d recommend you sign up for a horse-riding tour of Efate’s jungles. It’s an amazing experience, in short. The jungle streams and rivers are as clear as glass and it’s a rollicking good time for a few hours. Then, the hotels’ proximity to the town centre makes it easy to go exploring Port Vila and its markets. There are multiple tour operators where you can go fishing, golfing, sailing, snorkelling safaris… the list goes on.
There are plenty of restaurants, pubs and cafes dotting the highway off Erakor, but do try out the hotel’s in-house restaurant, Chantilly. It’s menu is famous throughout the island for its freshness and quality. In fact, it’s got rave reviews on all travel platforms. There’s also a cosy bar and a day-spa to help the relaxation process further along.
All in all, you may want to extend the five nights’ stay.
Day 6: Check out of the hotel – we’ve already taken care of the coach transfer to the airport. Have a safe flight back home and come again soon!

Often known as ‘The Happiest Place on Earth’, Vanuatu’s 83 islands bring together old-fashioned charm and hospitality of the bygone decades, traditional village life and the unsullied flora and fauna that you can only read about in a magazine.
Vanuatu represents the very best in a beach holiday experience. No pollution or traffic, only pearly white beaches, modern resorts and all the fun and fervour of a long-deserved break. As soon as travellers land in Port Vila, the magic starts. Located on the main island of Efate, Port Vila is surrounded by miles of delicate reef and beaches that greets people before they even get off the plane. Espiritu Santo provides amazing views of forest-covered mountains, underground caves and powdery-white sand beaches.
The island of Tanna is another highlight with Mt Yasur, a favourite of eco-tourists, adventure lovers and divers alike. But the main attraction of Vanuatu is the unfailing good nature and hospitality of the people. Together with a range of accommodations and a host of activities, it makes for a gem of a tropical getaway.
