Villa vacation rentals in Vanuatu

“Vanuatu’s Hidden Gem” Review: Our stay at this Airbnb in Vanuatu was extraordinary. Advised to bring snorkels, we were thrilled to discover amazing snorkelling just at the garden’s end. It was a spectacular show of marine life, surpassing any paid reef trip we’ve experienced. The property was paradise personified. Cooking Christmas dinner over an open fire and mixing cocktails in the well-equipped kitchen was delightful. The place’s beauty far exceeded the photos; it’s a true paradise. The beds provided utmost comfort, and the perfect weather enhanced our experience. The onsite staff were notably kind and helpful, adding to our stay’s pleasure. This Airbnb is a gem, offering a blend of natural beauty, comfort, and warm hospitality. It’s a must-visit destination.

House and environment in line with the criptif. Beautiful garden and beautiful little coves. We had a very pleasant and relaxing week. Thank you Alexander for the welcome at the airport at night. Lucie

We had a great stay with our extended family at Namela Villa's. The Villa's were fantastic for us to have our space but come together to share meals and company. The snorkelling off the beach was some of the best in Vanuatu. We'll certainly be recommending this stay/holiday in the future to friends and family.

Namele Villas are spectacular and our family had an amazing holiday here. The Villas are fully equipped with all the necessities. The location is very close to town, with lots of restaurants within walking distance. We spent the days by the pool and snorkelling in the ocean discovering the beautiful fish and coral on the reef - with lots of equipment provided including kayaks, paddle boards and snorkel gear. Deborah was a very gracious and attentive host and Robert was very helpful during our stay. Thank you for an amazing holiday!

We had an amazing stay. As soon as we got there (finding it was no big problem for the local cab drivers) we were amazed by the amount of love & attention that went into decorating and furnishing the place. From medicine to cooking equipment & the bbq, everything was in abundance and made to feel like home. Courtesy of this welcoming feeling is no doubt the lovely housemaid Eva, who looked after us with amazing care. As a group of students (ages 20-24) we enjoyed the privacy of the house and its perfect blend of comfort (amazing beds, helping hands of Eva etc.) and more adventurous aspects (bumpy ride getting there, rare power-outages in the night etc.). All of us agree that this house was the core to our amazing time on Vanuatu. We would highly recommend to get a car (4x4 pickup was our choice & we did not regret it), as mobility is key on Efate. Also, if at all interested, get an ATV. Fuel is cheap & the fun priceless. Thanks to Christiana and Eva for this unforgettable time.

Our stay at Whispering Palms was amazing and as described on the wrapper. Spectacular, quiet, comfortable, relaxing. A special thank you Sylvie, John and Peter for the warm welcome, and hospitality. Their willingness to share the local culture makes the stay extra special. Thank you also to Cindy and Dean as well as Marcello for the responsiveness. Some practical advice for those staying at Whispering Palms: Cash is king (and not readily available) - Make sure you cash up in Port Vila as there are no ATM/Cash machines on that part of Efate and with the exception of some of the big resorts, cash is generally the only way to pay. Food - Go with a plan on catering for the first few nights (at least). We arrived in the evening, and although we had organised some food, we found ourselves trekking back to Port Vila for supplies for the 3rd night. Morrison has basics, there are some options in Port Havannah, but again, make sure you have enough cash for these. Absolutely loved our stay.

WOW WOW WOW!! Saffire is an incredible property that just blew our minds! I am not sure where to start - From the moment we drove down the driveway into the beautiful garden of the Saffire grounds, we knew we were in heaven. From the pool overlooking the water (we did not leave this pool for 4 days), the absolutely impeccably stunning gardens (which we are still in awe of), the gorgeous villas, the location, Max and Yvannah and even the pets Masey and Saffy - we truly fell in love with every aspect of Saffire. Denise - congratulations to you on creating a stunning oasis and for allowing us to be apart of it. You were incredible and so helpful, thank you for everything! Our trip to Santo will never be forgotten and we cannot wait to return!

We had the perfect staycation here in Port Vila! The location is absolutely ideal—gorgeous sunsets every evening and so much space for the kids to run around and play. The home was spotlessly clean and felt like a true escape from the everyday. Peaceful, stress-free, and close to some fantastic restaurants. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Surfside was a fantastic location. Huge rooms, all with a view. Katia was a fabulous host and extremely accomodating with last minute late flights and helping us with transfers. The accomodation is great and walking distance to a number of restaurants. The private pool and outdoor area was used daily. Highly recommend.

What a great property and location. We absolutely lived in the pool and the the snorkelling did not disappoint with so many varieties of fish in one location… on our door step!! So close to airport and pre shopping was a breeze! On site team were fabulous and extremely helpful when needed. We will be back for sure as it was just what we needed and all others reviews are on point!! We too wished we had booked longer!!

This place is amazing! Such a stunning property, with its own private beach. Incredibly clean, comfortable, and well furnished. The AC was amazing and so essential here. The location was very quiet and peaceful, and it was great to have several restaurants within walking distance. Deborah was an exceptional host. She was very welcoming and provided a lot of helpful information. This place is a true paradise. Highly recommend!
