Georgina Pate, Vanuatu Specialist, takes us on a
tour of the Culinary Capital of the South Pacific.
"Port Vila has something for everyone’s taste &
budget. The market culture is vibrant with fresh
produce, local art; handicraft & clothing markets
all located close to your Resort.
I was delighted to discover a rustic island
atmosphere offering everything from brightly
coloured tropical fresh fruit and locally brewed
Tanna Coffee from the Southern Island to luscious
Santo steaks and local Tusker beer from the
Northern Island.
Head to Tilly’s on the Bay, located on the harbour,
for a char grilled fruit bat. If you prefer a white
sandy beach to be your backdrop, try the famous
French Style lobster thermidor, a specialty of
Tamanu Beach Club 15km out of town.
An absolute must do is a Meridian Charters sunset
cruise to sip champagne and sample countless
international cheeses. For those adventurous
types, a one hour flight will take you to an active
volcano on Tanna Island, followed by a dinner of
fresh lobster. Truly divine!"

Port Vila & Surrounds
Things to see
Port Vila & Efate
Efate is the main island of Vanuatu, where the
capital Port Vila is situated and also where the
majority of commerce and tourism takes place.
Port Vila is located around a magnificent natural
harbour offering stunning views of Iririki and Ifira
islands. The airport is but a few miles from town
and all major resorts and hotels. Vila is clean and
uncluttered, the waterfront area is so unpolluted,
visitors are stunned to look down from the
seawall and see live coral and tropical fish.
Port Vila and surrounds offer a diverse range of
natural sites and fun activities to experience.
Enjoy a day cruise, discover the amazing
underwater marine life at Hideaway Island, view
the spectacular Mele Cascade Waterfalls, shop
for souvenirs at the local markets or enjoy a
wide range of watersports on the calm lagoons.
If rest and relaxation is what you’re after, simply
laze around the pool with a good book.
Getting around in Port Vila is inexpensive and
best of all it is easy! The ‘local buses’ are in fact
minivans, identified by the ‘B’ on their number
plate. There are plenty available day and night,
just signal the driver and jump aboard.
