Pack a picnic, take a rug, and breathe in the beauty of the Pacific Ocean and beyond. Meet the smiling locals and order lunch at one of the bars, after swimming with turtles in this magnificent turquoise heaven. Secluded and untapped, the water is generally warm all year round.
Havannah Beach
This postcard-perfect beach is one for the lovers. Romantic and adventurous at once, you’ll enjoy water sports as well as sunset picnics with your love. Grab a stand-up paddleboard or take a catamaran to glide across the shimmering turquoise waters. Enjoy the vibrant reefs for superb snorkelling or experience kayaking with a kiss.

Eton Beach
Eton Beach brags waters of the softest shade of Tiffany blue in this hidden slice of paradise. One of the most secluded beaches in Vanuatu, and just 45 minutes from Port Vila, bring your own picnic food to make the most of the barbecue area. Safe for swimming, anyone can access this extraordinary waterhole.
A magical blend of both seawater and freshwater, kids will love the rope swing over the lagoon. With secret pools, coves, and grottos to discover, this is one adventurous and fun haven to explore. As a bonus, it’s great for littlies who love to hunt and collect sticks, rocks, seashells, and other natural treasures. Fully immerse yourself in traditional island life. But – be prepared to never want to leave.
Aore Beach
Situated in Espiritu Santo, Aore Beach is one of the most stunning snorkelling locations available, with its reef seated at the edge of the sand. Set between coconut plantations, the coastline is sprinkled with beckoning bungalows. One of the best places to snorkel in Vanuatu, you’ll be pinching yourself as you swim alongside sea turtles and glide by tropical fish.
Take a kayak through the blue lagoons and hidden grottos to enjoy floating romantic kisses, friendly banter, or a mindful meditation. Stay tuned for a magnificent sunset. Not even the most premium of camera can do it justice; you’ll have to see it for yourself.
Stay at the Aore Island Resort to experience your own cosy bungalow at water’s edge. There’s so much to discover at this hidden haven.
Lonnoc Beach
This natural beauty located in Espiritu Santo is the proud owner of floury-soft white shores and glittering peacock waters. Lonnoc Beach is the place to go for kayak hire or a chilled drink at the waterside restaurant. A short walk from Champagne Beach and Golden Beach, this ethereal lagoon leaves you feeling rejuvenated and restored. Bubbling freshwater pockets sit within the saltwater sea, leaving you with glowing skin from this combination duo.
Set yourself free in both body and mind as you swim, snorkel, and explore. Stay for sunset to capture the magical lilac and fuchsia hues of the skies beyond. Home to eclectic fish, Lonnoc is protected by towering hills and jungle-like edges, so you’ll barely feel a whisper of wind.
