Tamanu On The Beach - A 5-star beachfront resort with private plunge pools, organic dining, and a luxury spa

Tamanu On The Beach offers 15 individually furnished villas, each featuring a king-size bed, private terrace with ocean views, and air conditioning. The beachfront restaurant serves gourmet international cuisine using fresh, locally grown organic produce, complemented by an extensive wine list. Guests can unwind at the Tamanu Spa, which offers aromatherapy massages and organic skincare treatments, or relax by the lagoon-style pool overlooking the ocean. The resort is located on a private white sand beach, 20 minutes from downtown Port Vila and 25 km from Bauerfield International Airport. Each villa includes a flat-screen TV, bathrobes, and furnished balconies, with some offering private plunge pools. A daily chef's blackboard menu highlights seasonal local produce, and the open-air restaurant provides panoramic ocean views. The property maintains at least 1.5 meters of separation between guest groups in dining areas.

Fine Beachfront Villa

Relaxation at Its Best

“The spa services were fantastic! I had the best facial of my life, feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated afterward. It was the perfect way to unwind after a long day enjoying the beach and exploring the resort. The massage I received was equally excellent; I felt completely pampered.” view full review
