  1. Efate Island is the first name on the list of the most beautiful islands in Vanuatu. Efate is the island where you will find the capital, Port Vila, as well as the international airport, which is conveniently located in the heart of the country. The area around Port Vila, on the west coast, has the most hotels and resorts. Surprisingly, even though it is the capital, Port Vila is a pleasant place to visit. The water in the area is beautiful, and Efate Island has many beautiful beaches where you can spend the day.


    With the highest concentration of organized beaches, Efate Island stands out. This means beaches that are not only beautiful but also provide visitors with important amenities such as changing rooms, restaurants, and even lifeguards. Let’s explore the island's bays and beaches, islands and inlets on the island's sealed ring road. In addition, offshore islands such as Pele, Nguna, Moso, and Lelepa are also easily accessible.

  2. Espiritu Santo is the next name on the list of the most beautiful islands in Vanuatu that Toplist has compiled for you. The north of Vanuatu is more isolated, making it ideal for those looking for a relaxing getaway. Espiritu Santo, or simply Santo (as it is known locally), is the largest island in the country, not just in the north, and the only one with some tourist infrastructure. There are a few hotels and resorts here, but not as many as in the Port Villa and Efate Island areas.

    A domestic flight from Port Vila is the most convenient way to get to Santo. Organize it from afar, as it will be less expensive than doing so while in the country. Santo also has one of the world's best beaches, Port Olry, which is located in the north of the island. Santo Island is a place where you can truly disconnect from the outside world. White powdery beaches, blue holes, coconut palms, world-class diving, and rugged jungles are all well-known. Santo provides the ideal barefoot luxury vacation, with a mix of adventure, World War II history, and authentic Melanesian culture, allowing you to mix and match your activities. It is an island where visitors return year after year.

  3. Port Vila is the next name on the list today. From easy access to the airport and child-friendly accommodations to beaches and proximity to the capital for some shopping fun, Port Villa has it all. Port Villa is not a typical western city. With its 40,000 residents dispersed over a large area, it has the feel of a small town rather than a bustling metropolis. You could plan a visit to the National Museum of Vanuatu in addition to all the beach bumming and restaurant hopping. This one-of-a-kind structure houses some of the most stunning examples of traditional art.


    In short, it is a fitting tribute to the indigenous people's long history, and it would be a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the island's culture for a well-rounded vacation. You could also plan a family outing to one of the many parks and playgrounds in the area. Independence Park is well-known for its cultural and historical significance, as well as its beautiful green space and proximity to other attractions. So go ahead and plan a fun picnic there and kill two birds with one stone by learning about Vanuatu's culture and history from the locals. Moreover, if you are visiting Port Vila with your family, a visit to the Rainbow Botanical Gardens is a must. This place will blow your mind, as well as the minds of your children. It is a tranquil setting with lovely flowers and natural paths to explore.

  4. Tanna Island is the next name on the list of the most beautiful islands in Vanuatu that Toplist has compiled for you. Apart from the beauty of this island, another main reason is that Tanna Island is home to the world's most accessible active volcano. Mount Yasur on Tanna Island is the world's largest active volcano, and it should be on every adventurer's bucket list. The volcano is prone to frequent eruptions, which you can witness firsthand. All you have to do is book a tour, then take a 4WD trip to the crater in the evening to see the lava fireworks as the sunsets. You will truly appreciate Mother Nature's fiery wonder. Set up camp on the island and plan your trekking day to discover a truly unique part of the world.


    The Blue Cave is an amazing natural wonder that you can only visit during low tide. You'd have to dive underwater during high tide. Unless you have a guide, it's nearly impossible to find. The water is such a deep blue color that you have to wonder how this is possible. Sulphur Bay, located at the base of the Mount Yasur volcano, is a must-see on any trip to Tanna. You can relax in the hot tub while admiring the beautiful scenery in front of you. The water can be quite muddy, and this is all part of the natural experience. To enter the village, you must pay a fee.

  5. Moso Island is the next name on the list of the most beautiful islands in Vanuatu that Toplist would like to introduce to you. Vanuatu has 83 islands, the majority of which are small and wild, such as Moso, the epitome of a tropical getaway. Therefore, Moso Island has remained relatively untouched by the rest of the world, retaining a calm and relaxing atmosphere. If you prefer a more relaxed vacation to the hustle and bustle of the archipelago's major tourist hubs, Moso Island is the place to go.


    The water on Moso Island is one of the best aspects of this island. Couples can enjoy water activities in the mesmerizing blue oceans. Swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, diving, and whatever else your heart desires are all options. You could add something new and exciting to your itinerary, such as saving turtles, in addition to all the fun you will have in the water.

  6. Iririki Island is a resort island rather than a simple residential island. The privately-owned property ensures that you have all of the privacy and seclusion you require to make your big day truly memorable. The resort has been specifically designed to meet these requirements. Everything from catering to guest accommodations to venue setup is taken care of by them. They also offer packages for other related events such as proposals, vow renewals, and anniversaries, as well as honeymoons where weddings were held elsewhere.

    It is no surprise that Iririki Island Resort and Spa is popular with couples for weddings, and honeymoons, thanks to its luxurious facilities and stunning panoramic views. Another plus is that it is only a short ferry ride from Port Vila and its nightlife. So, if you're planning a bachelor or bachelorette party, all you have to do is hop on a boat and head over. The best part is that the ferry has no set schedule and operates 24 hours a day. You can choose from a variety of serviced apartments and self-contained suites that provide privacy and luxury for the ideal honeymoon. You can also participate in activities such as water sports and organized dining to make your magical vacation even more memorable.

  7. Hideaway Island is the next name on the list of the most beautiful islands in Vanuatu that Toplist has compiled for you. This spot, off the coast of Port Vila on Efate Island, provides the best vantage point for exploring the region's underwater wonders. There are coral reefs, unique marine life, and a post office at this Marine Sanctuary. That's right, you read that correctly. The Mele Bay Underwater Post Office is truly one-of-a-kind, and you must see it to believe it. It is a post office beneath the sea, as the name implies, and it is the first of its kind in the world.

    Another plus is that the 18 dive sites in the Hideaway Island area can be reached in under 15 minutes, saving time on boat transfers. If you are traveling with a partner who is not a diver, you will be pleased to learn that most of these sites also offer excellent snorkeling opportunities.
