Nguna, Pele and Emao, a real island experience

The islands of Nguna, Pele and Emao are a highly recommended escape from Port Vila. Nguna has those white sand beaches you dream of and the Nguna-Pele Marine Protected Area. There are more beaches on Pele and the surf off the tip of the island looks promising. Emao offers the friendliest stay at Marou village.

In recent years there have been many small marine protected areas declared and all islands have good snorkelling and diving. On terra firma, the hilly topography of the islands makes for interesting walks.

When you visit these islands it is the real Vanuatu and Port Vila is quickly forgotten.
