Drop the little ones at the kids club or play with them at the dedicated playground and paddling pool.

Vanuatu means 'the land that always existed', and your time here will make you wonder why you don't call it your permanent home. Breakfast and buffets are served daily, and you can enjoy your meals in one of five beautifully decorated dining areas. For those who love a tipple, you'll be overwhelmed with the extensive wine list that boasts drops from New Zealand, Australia and France.
