What Not to Bring to Vanuatu

What Not to Bring to Vanuatu

You don’t need to bring overly fancy clothing, perhaps one or two outfits for evening dinners. You won’t need heels in paradise, flats are totally fine. If your resort provides shampoo, conditioner, hairdryer, and other amenities, you won’t need to bring those either. You won’t need a hair straightener; you can embrace your true self in Vanuatu! Make-up isn’t necessary either.
