Ratua island

Ratua is a small private islet in the south of Espiritu Santo island, Vanuatu. The beaches are pretty good with clear water, but below average standards of Vanuatu. As for the snorkeling and diving, these are just perfect here. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Coordinates: -15.612, 167.177873

Hotels [edit]

Ratua Private Island is a 5-star luxury resort tending to eco philosophy. For example, there are no air conditioners, which sometimes can be very inconvenient. In May 2017, the property changed management, which gives a hope for a better time coming soon.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Port Vila international airport (VLI), and then fly to Espiritu Santo airport (SON). Next take a taxi to the marina and get by boat.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in the island of Ratua is a dry season from July to October.
