Beachfront vacation rentals in Port Vila

We had a fantastic time at Loic's place. As described it is about 45min drive from Vila so having your own transport is highly recommended. A representative form the management company met us at the airport and we followed them the property as it was after dark. This was really helpful as otherwise we might have struggled to find the entrance (its easy in daylight). Devils Point Road is unpaved but didn't really need a 4WD (we were there at the end of the dry season). The property is pleasant and set in a fantastic location with world class snorkelling from the private beach. Sam and his family, who live next door, look after the property and kept us supplied with Paw-paw and coconuts! Mele Beach is about 20 mins drive away and the Friday night Fire Show is highly recommended. We enjoyed our time there and recommend it for anyone looking for a quiet retreat in stunning surrounds.

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 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.

from our initial booking request to his personal farewell at checkout, owner Colin was always on hand with great recommendations, a detailed compendium and just letting us "be" at our own peral whilst at Watermark. our island hosts, Nolan & Fanny, was just a short walk (or text) away to give further insight to Moso Island and its Ni-Van, while we also got the most delectable home made meals delivered from Fanny's Kitchen! you can spend the whole day admiring the craftsmanship of Watermark from the verandah, snorkel up & down the house reef, have a stroll to the nearby Tasseriki- & Sunaï villages, go turtle & dugong spotting or try kava at a local nakamal (Bamboo bar's the best)... whatever you do, just book, you will most definitely find paradise!

Tropicana is a lovely resort on the banks of a quiet lagoon. The rooms are spacious and beautiful. The resort is not too large or crowded and the bar/restaurant beside the water served a delicious breakfast and the best potato wedges we have had anywhere in the world. The staff were welcoming and friendly. we had not planned to stay here but booked a night when we were forced to stay in Port Vila for the night due to flight rescheduling. I'm really glad this happened, as it was a short trip to town and a lovely holiday experience in its own right. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Port Vila.

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.

Five blissful nights at South Pacific Memories were a real highlight of this trip. For snorkelling obsessives, the fish diversity right outside this boutique four-villa resort is the best I found in Vanuatu. Clouds of fish hover around the coral heads, schools swim past flashing silver, there are lobsters peeking out from crevices, squid, hundreds of wrasse, parrotfish and at least three types of triggerfish. We snorkelled here after breakfast every morning. The four villas sit behind the main house, restaurant, lobby, lounge and dive facilities. They’re two stories with rooftop decks to sit on and look at the stars, or dry wet clothing. Inside its spacious minimalism with concrete dressed up with colourful naive art. Good wifi, fridges, room safes, wardrobes to put away your suitcases and feel like you can settle in. Breakfast is included in the tariff and healthy and inviting! I found it very hard to leave this truly special place!

Don's place is a unit at Island Magic Resort -- we were in Bungalow 10. The bungalow was very spacious, with louvre windows in every direction so ocean breezes were great. Snorkeling right from the resort was also great. Grounds were well kept. The resort was very quiet -- about 15 min from town. We had a car so no problems getting around but local transportation was also available. Highly recommend attending the cultural show on Saturday evenings. Restaurant served excellent food. Staff was excellent-- this is a small resort where they get to know you very quickly. Highly recommend Island Magic and Don's place!

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 enjoyed our stay immensely at this magnificent property. The direct and expansive views of the ocean, including a coral reef right in front, and the sounds of gently breaking waves, was an elixir for the soul! Bukura is a good 30 minutes drive from the hustle and bustle of central Point Vila (depending on road conditions), but that is its appeal! A fully equipped kitchen made for easy food prep. The pool was immaculate. We loved the many separate spaces on the property set up to enjoy morning coffee, a leisurely lunch or sundowners, all while watching the sea. A pod of spinner dolphins cruising past was the icing on the cake! Robin was without doubt the most helpful and flexible host I've ever encountered on AirBNB, especially as we arrived only days after the 2024 earthquake. As promised, her neighbour met us at the gate as we arrived and showed us around. Robin promptly responded to any questions we had for the duration of our stay and could not have been more helpful.

Deborah was very quick to respond to questions, she recommended restaurants within walking distance and on the Island. The accommodation was as great as the photos, and check in was very easy with Robert meeting us at the property and showing us around. There was unlimited use of kayaks and snorkelling gear. The reef at the resort was fantastic. I highly recommend Namele Villas.

This is the most beautiful airbnb we have ever stayed in. We swam with a dugong on our very first snorkel, ate meals on the beachfront deck with a fire burning if an evening and played card games on the verandah with a French wine in hand! We were actually in the house when the earthquake struck Vanuatu (Dec 2024) and it stood strong, we were soooooo well looked after by the estate security, and the cleaning and gardening staff, we never felt unsafe. It’s a very pretty, private and safe spot for a family or couple, I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Stay was wonderful. It was our first time in Vanuatu and the stay was great. We’re hoping to return! Felt very private. Walking distance from a number of lovely little resorts / restaurants. We were able to grab supplies from supermarket and cook ourselves which was great. Lots of cooking utensils and equipment to use. Thank you Patricia + Robert

Fabienne was an amazing host and really made Vanuatu feel like home! 10/10 experience!

This place is amazing. Such a stunning property! Beautiful pagoda style villa, with your own private beach. Incredibly clean and well furnished. Pamela was an exceptional host. She was super friendly and accommodating, and provided so much helpful information. The staff were so lovely. We went on a day trip to Pele Island with Jinilyn and her family which was a highlight. Euan also opened some fresh coconuts for us which was another highlight. This place is a true paradise. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay in the Lagoon Sunset Villa, located in the middle of village life on beautiful grounds away from the main town centre. We utilised the kayaks and stand-up paddle board to explore Erakor Lagoon, and enjoyed the relaxing waterfront and expansive views. The boat across to Erakor Island was easy to arrange to have a meal or drinks. The superb sunsets were an absolute bonus and Annie was a great host!
