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. 4 www.omnicheholidays.com Vanuatu Property Name Aore Island Resort Bokissa Private Island Resort Breakas Beach Resort Coconut Palms Resort The Espiritu Hotel The Havannah Hideaway Island Resort Holiday Inn Resort Iririki Island Resort Mangoes Resort Mariner Apartments The Melanesian Port Vila Moorings Hotel Nasama Resort Ratua Private Island Sunset Bungalows Resort The Terraces Boutique Apartments Warwick Le Lagon Resort & Spa White Grass Ocean Resort Vale Vale Beachfront Villas Page 13 13 06 06 13 07 06 07 08 09 09 09 10 10 12 11 11 12 13 10 www.omnicheholidays.com 5 Port Vila Breakas Beach Resort Breakas Beach Resort provides a magical holiday experience for those seeking a beachfront getaway in an Adults Only environment - leave the children at home and relax!
