Hotel rooms in Vanuatu
Efate contains Port Vila and several coastal accommodation areas. Espiritu Santo pairs an arrival base around Luganville with outings to blue holes and the coast. Tanna adds a separate island chapter. For every stop, distinguish the property’s actual setting from the places shown in photographs of excursions that might be offered from it.
Read beyond the room name
A superior room does not mean the same thing in every hotel. Read the description of the actual room category and its own amenities. A balcony shown for the property may not be included in every room.
- Floor area, proper beds and maximum occupancy
- Air conditioning, fans and ventilation
- The difference between sea view, beachfront and lagoon access
The setting in Vanuatu
Locally run bungalows can suit a visit centred on an island and its communities, but facilities should be clarified before booking. Ask about the room, bathroom arrangements and available meals. Include planned outings and admission charges in the budget too, since visiting some natural sites involves a separate payment from your accommodation costs.
For a locally run bungalow, request written details of bathroom facilities, electricity and meals before choosing your stay.

Two starting points, different rhythms
Port-Vila
Port Vila provides a base for exploring Efate with access to town services. Central addresses, lagoon properties and accommodation towards Mele Bay involve different journeys. Match the hotel’s exact location to your planned outings and evening dining, rather than assuming every property described as Port Vila will offer the same daily convenience.
Luganville
Luganville is a useful reference point when organising time on Espiritu Santo. A town address can help with excursion arrangements, while a coastal property offers a different setting. Blue holes and dive sites often shape a visit here, but the journeys to those places should influence the accommodation choice as much as the photographs.
When it is time to book
