M Resort & Spa

Port Vila

Set in Port Vila, 14 km from Konanda Reef, M Resort & Spa offers accommodation with a private beach area, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant. Among the facilities at this property are room service and a concierge service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can have a drink at the bar. Phenomenal experience! They built this resort the way you would have built it. Great communication in advance, wonderful reception and orientation, and an amazing stay. The onsite hosts (owners) look after all details and the staff are great. The four beachfront villas are family-friendly and make you feel like you're almost in your own resort. The onsite all-day restaurant is steps away with a great menu and reasonable prices (though you have a full kitchen in the villa); breakfast from the menu was included. Recommend having the resort pick you up and return you to the airport. The resort can also schedule outings with locals (fishing, snorkel boats, etc.) though you can just snorkel out front or take a kayak a few hundred meters up the coast to some very good coral.

South Pacific Memories

Port Vila

Situated in Port Vila, 1.8 km from Breakas Beach, South Pacific Memories features accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool and a fitness centre. With a garden, the 4-star resort has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. A terrace, an in-house bar and shared lounge are available. Perfect place in Vanuatu! The location is in a secluded area right on the reef with great snorkeling and diving on site. I had no plans of diving but wound up doing my first intro dive here and it was perfect… Peeta is a highly experienced and comforting instructor! The bungalows are new and super clean. Very spacious and just appointed in the nicest way. The atmosphere here is pure relaxation and super friendly. I also stayed at Breakas (right up the road) a few nights and the differences are huge. Breakas was pure party scene and not as clean, where here it’s just quiet and chill (yes they have a bar here as well though). I wound up going to breakas for some fun one night and then sleeping here which was perfect! Here they also provide really good food and you can simply stay here all day and they feed you haha! Getting into town is a little tricky but totally doable. Take the bike, or walk 10 minutes or so to the main road to catch the bus out. Getting back is super easy from town by bus. They have free rental bikes as well which are in excellent shape. I booked 2 nights but wound up staying 3 due to flight cancellation. They accommodated me during my struggle to rebook with the airline and that was such a breath of fresh air.

Eratap Beach Resort

Port Vila

Boasting beachfront villas with stunning ocean views, Eratap Beach Resort offers free WiFi, free cooked gourmet breakfast and free use of water sports equipment, including kayaks and both snorkeling and surfing equipment. There is a day spa, restaurant, lounge bar and an outdoor pool. Also available at the resort is a fully-equipped fitness centre, tennis court and shop. The entire staff was fantastic. Most of them live in the nearby Eratap village and take great pride in their work. Pascal, the manager, was fantastic. When Vanuatu Airlines never put our luggage on the plane ( along with 41 other pieces) she was quick to followup with the airline and arrange for a ride to the airport to pick up our Luggage. If you are flying to Vanuatu- Fly any airline but Air Vanuatu. We had boarding passes to Fiji for our return flight. When we got to the airport, we found out the flight was cancelled with no notice. They put us up at a local hotel for the night, ( after 3 hours of dealing with their service desk)squeezed us on the next day flight - I’m sure someone else got bumped off, and never paid for the extra 2 nights we had to pay for because we had missed our connecting flight that only goes 3X per week.

Paradise Cove Resort

Free Kayaks, snorkelling equipment, stand-up paddle boards and bicycles are provided. There is a salt-water swimming pool, spa and both free WiFi in public areas and continental breakfast are included. We had the MOST incredible experience at Paradise Cove. From the moment we arrived, greeted by owner Constance and shuffled quickly to happy hour, we knew it was going to be amazing. Staff amazing. Food exceptional, like the best I have ever had on a tropical island. Vilas were comfortable and cleaned promptly every day. Water sports gear all clean and available. Awesome cocktails. Did I mention the food? OMG, honestly, I had the Melanesian Fish Salad every single day for lunch. Tried everything else at dinner time. Breakfast was fresh, fabulous and made to order. Massie and Edna were our favourite hosts - they looked after us so well, incredibly kind, amazing service. They treated our 14-year-old daughter like part of the family. I will go back to this incredible piece of paradise again and again. It will become a tradition as it was so special and exceeded our expectations and then some. Constance and Marc who manage and own the resort, are visible every day, friendly and so welcoming - we felt part of the family from the moment we arrived. We had Christmas day there and shared with guests we’d never met before and it was incredible. The food, the beverages, and the conversation. We feel so lucky to have stumbled across this amazing place and we will return. Thank you so much to the team at Paradise Cove...you have created something very special. Kathryn, Jeremy, Leila and Maysie.

The Moso

Port Vila

The Moso Vanuatu is an exclusive boutique resort and dining destination located on stunning Moso Island, North Efate, Vanuatu. The Moso features a year-round outdoor pool and a private beach area.

Largely untouched, Moso Island is an isolated sanctuary, surrounded by crystal-clear blue water and shaded by rustling coconut trees. The serenity. I spent 3 nights there, and left feeling deeply rested and refreshed.

Tranquility Island Eco Dive Resort

Moso Island

Set on a secluded 900-acre tropical island, Tranquility Island Eco Dive Resort is a renowned scuba diving base offering over 18 different dive sites. Free WiFi is available in public areas.

Tranquility Moso Island Resort is 20 minutes’ boat journey from Havannah Harbour. It is 1-hour from Port Vila’s Bauerfield International Airport via boat and shuttle bus (available up until 16:00). Wonderful, peaceful oasis not far from Port Vila. Marie in town and then Thomas and Douglas on the island made the stay memorable. I felt looked after. Diving with Jerry was fun, even has a not experienced Open Water Padi. The trek across the island to Fred's, a cute Robinson Crusoe beach, was relaxing. I stayed in fare 3 and it was stunning with lots of air flow, a hammock to chill and always fresh flowers for decoration to make you feel like you are in paradise. The food was plenty and carefully decorated. The perfect place to kick back 3-5 days.
