‘Mi glad tumas’ – I’m very happy
The ancient rumblings of the earth can still be experienced on lively Vanuatu. Though modernity
has entered Vanuatu’s mystic jungle and introduced first-world comforts, both the islands and their
indigenous inhabitants have managed to sidestep the changes around them with little compromise.
The primeval origins of humankind are revealed through the Ni-Vanuatu people: Their tribal traditions
and deep reverence of the natural world complimenting the islands’ wild landscapes and fiery
volcanoes. Vanuatu has the highest density of indigenous languages per capita in the world, yet despite
this cultural diversity the common thread of Ni-Vanuatu custom is that all life is sacred and magical.
Perhaps this belief contributes to their infamously bright smiles, which, like their surroundings, reflect an
unspoilt beauty. Consider also the warm climate and communal unity of Vanuatu, and it may come as
no surprise that it has been voted one of the world’s happiest nations.
Stretching 1,300 kilometres southeast from the Solomon Islands to the northeast of New Caledonia,
the 83 islands of The Republic of Vanuatu are only a short distance from Australia’s eastern seaboard.
Originally named New Hebrides under the joint administration of Britain and France, the archipelago
became an independent republic within the Commonwealth of Nations in 1980, and is now known as
The Republic of Vanuatu. When the Lapita people crossed the sea from the Solomons over 3,000 years
ago, they settled around Vanuatu’s steep mountains, dense jungles and vast stretches of open water
– isolated from the world and each other. The arrival of Polynesian settlers from the central Pacific many
years later further diversified the skills and Austronesian customs of the Melanesians. Today, English,
French and Bislama are the official languages of Vanuatu. Derived mainly from English words arranged
in Melanesian-style grammar, Bislama is a shared language that can be spoken by all indigenous
groups within Vanuatu, though the many different cultural regions retain distinct political and social
systems.
Most of the islands are of volcanic origin, though with such a large north-south area, there are variations
in both landscape and climate. The average daytime temperature ranges from 20°C to 32°C, though
generally December to March are the warmest months, with January and February being the most wet
and humid. International flights depart from the nation’s capital of Port Vila on Efate Island, directly
connecting Vanuatu to Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia and the Solomon Islands. Most visitors
start their journey on the two main islands of Efate and Espiritu Santo, and then travel to Tanna Island
to marvel at Mount Yasur, one of the world’s most accessible active volcanoes. There are beautiful
beaches, reefs, rivers, mountains and jungles, and a range of accommodations and delicious cuisine
available to explore on the islands - though it is the heartbeat of Vanuatu, a happy ancient rhythm,
which seems to capture the heart of travellers.

experienced wedding professionals, meaning that you don’t need to become one overnight.
Choosing to have your wedding on a spectacular South Pacific island may be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make. Amid such effortless calm and beauty, love feels
at home. Far away from crowds, commitments, traffic and homegrown expectations, the holiday atmosphere allows the whole wedding party to relax.
To oversee the wedding plans, you will be able to liaise directly with the wedding coordinator here at Spacifica and also with the coordinator at your chosen South
Pacific location. Any wedding of any size can be arranged, tailor-made to your desires, or we can walk you through our great package deals. Arranging flights and
accommodation for family and friends is our speciality, as our wedding planner works intimately with the Groups department to ensure that each guest arrives to the
location on time, from any port in the world.
We guarantee personalised service, years of experience, and a genuine desire to see you enjoy each stage of your wedding plans. As you sit in the comfy director’s chair,
tropical drink in hand, we’ll work hard to ensure that your vision comes to life. The South Pacific knows romance…and we pride ourselves on knowing the South Pacific.
...we have the perfect wedding for you.
