Some of the best experiences around Port Vila in Vanuatu, are resorts. These three are worth visiting purely for a meal, a drink, or a sunset.
Erakor Island
This one requires a short boat transfer from the mainland to reach the island, and there is an entry fee to get on. The benefit is that the fee is fully redeemable on food and drinks once you are there, so you are essentially paying for your first round before you sit down. A unique arrival experience and a genuinely beautiful setting once you are on the island.
Tamanu on the Beach
Sit down for a meal or drinks with the ocean directly beside you. Tamanu on the Beach delivers exactly what the name promises, waterfront dining at the water’s edge with no barrier between you and the Pacific. Time it right and you will catch one of the better sunsets available anywhere in the region.
Paradise Cove
Similar waterfront setting with the sound of the ocean as a constant backdrop. Great for lunch or dinner, and another spot where the sunset alone justifies making the trip. A relaxed, unhurried atmosphere that suits the pace of Vanuatu perfectly.
