Vanuatu or “Land Eternal” by definition, is an archipelago of 83 islands with a unique blend of intact tribal communities, resorts, beaches and geography ranging from towering volcanoes to pristine underwater environments. The capital, Port Vila, lies clean and uncluttered on the southwest coast of the island of Efate, free of skyscraper office blocks, and set within a magnificent natural harbour.
The Ni Vanuatu have populated the islands for centuries and with more than 115 distinctly different cultures and languages still thriving, Vanuatu is recognised as one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. Top class restaurants reflect this diversity, offering Melanesian, French, Polynesian, Indian, Chinese, Thai-Vietnamese, English and Japanese specialties.
An extraordinary feature of Vanuatu is its vibrant underwater world. Coral reefs, shipwrecks, superb visibility, and easily accessible dive sites make it an ideal diving destination. Several dive businesses operate from Port Vila alone, and cater for everybody from beginners to experienced divers who enjoy sailing, and cruises to more remote islands.
Travellers have been flocking to the country for decades to surf, dive, water-ski, trek and relax. And if any of that sounds too active, there's an especially mellow-inducing brand of local firewater called kava to take all your hinges off while you relax in this unpolished jewel of the South Pacific.
The Le Meridien Port Vila Resort and Casino offers an ideal setting with which to get acquainted with Vanuatu’s unique culture and spectacular scenery. The resort is situated at a lagoon front and is just a short bus ride from the airport and a five minute car ride to town. The Resort is an ideal spot for first time visitors, or welcoming back customers who want to relive the cultural and modern experience.
