| Situated to the
Far North of Vanuatu, there are 62 islands in this group, of which only
a few are inhabited. Visitor numbers are few and village life carries on
as it has for centuries. All of the islands are volcanic in origin, with
two still active (Gaua & Vanua Lavu). A rugged pristine
environment, amazing scenery, culture and superb snorkeling with incredible
visibility. Well worth a visit, but you need to be prepared to
forego some home comforts!
We have other
properties available, notably the Kamilisa Resort on Loh Island, and
Leumerous Guest House on Mota Lava near Ra Island. So if you are wanting
to look at other accommodation options, or interested in other Islands
in Torba Province, please ask!
