Efate : locations de vacances qui acceptent les fumeurs

Wonderful place for a relaxing holiday, the accommodation is nicely set up to while away the hours doing very little if that is your objective. And if not there are also kayaks and other things to do, and Annie was very generous in giving information and helping out. Looking forward to returning. This oasis is magic, bungalows on the beach that have are beautiful fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, BBQ etc etc all the mod cons you would need. We felt we were a million miles away from the troubles of the world & the owner Annie is a wonderful host nothing is a problem, and is a wealth of information. Following her recommendation we spent 2 x evenings at Erakor Island for dinner night including my birthday. A great night was had by all.  We laughed from morning till night . We snorkled and took a kyak out every day. Our son Shane loves this place so much....He says every time, let's go back "home"....Oh and the serenity !!!!

We had an amazing stay. As soon as we got there (finding it was no big problem for the local cab drivers) we were amazed by the amount of love & attention that went into decorating and furnishing the place. From medicine to cooking equipment & the bbq, everything was in abundance and made to feel like home. Courtesy of this welcoming feeling is no doubt the lovely housemaid Eva, who looked after us with amazing care. As a group of students (ages 20-24) we enjoyed the privacy of the house and its perfect blend of comfort (amazing beds, helping hands of Eva etc.) and more adventurous aspects (bumpy ride getting there, rare power-outages in the night etc.). All of us agree that this house was the core to our amazing time on Vanuatu. We would highly recommend to get a car (4x4 pickup was our choice & we did not regret it), as mobility is key on Efate. Also, if at all interested, get an ATV. Fuel is cheap & the fun priceless. Thanks to Christiana and Eva for this unforgettable time.

That's simple, if I come again to Port-Vila I'll go to this place again. Richie's family made ma staying there great, thanks for everything ! 😊

A totally magical place! Our stay was Farea @ Watermark was absolutely wonderful. The location is breathtaking, the welcome fantastic and the property stunning. We snorkelled from the property straight onto the reef before breakfast, watched the stars from the loungers at night, had an amazing turtle spotting and snorkelling boat tour with Noland (one of Colin's team) and enjoyed a wonderful local meal prepared by Fanni, Noland’s wife. We could have stayed for weeks! Please don't tell anyone - let's keep it a secret!

Villa Ducula is a very private place, restful and quiet. The snorkeling out front (accessed from Island Magic Resort next door) is brilliant and a little swim in your own private pool afterwards is a treat. Prepare your food requirements carefully as there is only one restaurant nearby and it is only open Thursday to Sunday. Apart from that you have a ride on a very bumpy road back towards town or bring your own food and cook in the kitchenette which has everything you need. We loved our stay here and it’s only a hop, skip and a jump to the Mele Cascades - Lydia will organise transport for you.

If you want to relax and get away from the world, this is the place. Turtles' glories in the morning as the sun comes up and l was lucky enough to have two dolphins 5 meters away from my kayak one morning - was amazing The property is the only house on the beach for miles, you feel as though you're on your own remote Island. Just to highlight when you book, there aren't many places to eat in the area, so please take Pamela's recommendation and go to those places. We tried some others and they weren't as good, however the recommendations are excellent. Also you must buy groceries in Port Villa (as per the recommendation) before heading north to the property as there isn't much on the North side of the Island and going back to Port Villa is good hours drive each way. Only downside (and its common in Vanuatu, so is what it is) the bedrooms only have fans, no AC so the nights were very hot as there was little to no sea breeze. Her staff made us very welcome when we arrived.

We had a fantastic time at Loic's place. As described it is about 45min drive from Vila so having your own transport is highly recommended. A representative form the management company met us at the airport and we followed them the property as it was after dark. This was really helpful as otherwise we might have struggled to find the entrance (its easy in daylight). Devils Point Road is unpaved but didn't really need a 4WD (we were there at the end of the dry season). The property is pleasant and set in a fantastic location with world class snorkelling from the private beach. Sam and his family, who live next door, look after the property and kept us supplied with Paw-paw and coconuts! Mele Beach is about 20 mins drive away and the Friday night Fire Show is highly recommended. We enjoyed our time there and recommend it for anyone looking for a quiet retreat in stunning surrounds.

Janet’s guesthouse is the perfect place to totally disconnect in a little piece of paradise. If you buy a Digicell SIM card, it works outside the house, and my partner and I enjoyed the quality time without internet inside the house. It is secluded, and you can hear the waves from your window. Everyone in the village was also so friendly and helpful. Janet is one of the best hosts I’ve had. She shares great stories, local recommendations, and delicious meals! We also loved her co-host, Brownie the dog. You can tell she is well-loved ❤️ I hope to come back here soon! Can’t recommend it enough.
