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.

We had an amazing stay at Coconut Groove. Beautiful home & grounds. Really enjoyed the private beach with access to kayaking & paddle boarding. Will recommend you hire a vehicle to make access to the property easier & more convenient as the drive is a little long and the road to get there is a little bumpy. Jack & his family (Caretaker) & Janet (Property Manager) were amazing. Overall highly recommend ☺️

Maison et environnement conformes au des criptif. Magnifique jardin et belles petites criques. Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable et reposante. Merci Alexander pour l'accueil à l'aéroport de nuit. 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.

Excellent accommodation with a convenient check-in procedure, quick pick-up and drop-off arrangements, a friendly landlord, and good housekeeping service.

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!

Loved staying here for 5 nights with my partner, very relaxing and private as no one was staying in the surrounding villas. February is the quiet time but also wet season. This villa would not have been comfortable with more than 2 people and obviously not as private if the other villas were booked. The staff were friendly and considerate. There were lots of bugs but that is to be expected in a beachside bungalow. It is not super easy to get into town to a supermarket without walking a fair distance to find a local bus. The staff said they can organise a ride for $12 Aud each person each way, with an hours notice, or you can find your own bus for $2.50 each person each way (not impossible but you just have to walk out of the village to the main road (about 1km). While it is beachfront, the water is very rocky and lots of coral, you might want rock shoes. No aircon but had fans, nice ocean breeze but bugs if windows open. I would stay again if I wanted to chill and not explore.

We absolutely loved our stay in Namele villas! The place was perfect for 2 couples and an infant. The place is very clean, kitchen very well equipped, we loved the swimming pool, and we used the kayaks multiple times to go out and explore! Communication with Deborah and Robert was really good as well! Thank you for having us!
