Destinations

Port Vila, Vanuatu

Base yourself in the lively Lagoon area and explore Mele Cascades waterfall and the colourful Central Market. Try local lap lap and fresh fish at waterfront restaurants on Lini Highway — great value dining for groups. Budget guesthouses and mid-range resorts like Fatumaru Lodge or Vila Chaumières offer solid options around AUD 80–120/night per room.
Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu

Santo is Vanuatu's adventure island — don't miss the crystal-clear Blue Holes (Nanda and Matevulu) and the famous WWII wreck dive at the SS President Coolidge. Luganville town has affordable guesthouses and local warungs where a meal costs next to nothing. A short domestic flight from Port Vila with Air Vanuatu or Unity Airlines takes about 45 minutes and typically runs AUD 80–130/person return.
