Espiritu Santo, the largest of Vanuatu’s islands, is a legendary destination in every way, boasting Vanuatu’s highest mountains and vast expanses of rainforest. Santo is also a dream destination for diving enthusiasts, the main attraction being the wreck of the luxury liner SS President Coolidge, which sank just off Santo in 1942 after striking a mine. This is truly one of the few places in the world where you can be on a beach alone, dive or snorkel with a thousand colourful fish, explore the tribal and ritualistic cultural sites and follow it up with dinner on a jetty overlooking the South Pacific.
For holidaymakers, the beauty of Espiritu Santo is unmatched. Jewel-like islands lay just a few hundred metres from coconut fringed beaches lined with powdery white sand. Champagne Beach is one of the most famous settings in the South Pacific, but you’ll find many places where you can truly be completely alone. Unique to Santo are its amazing blue water swimming holes, often connected by underground caverns, providing refreshing dips. You can trek, climb, traverse, and swim your way around Santo, or simply gaze out at the majestic mountains stretching across the island.
