My boyfriend I have literally just returned from 6 days in Vanuatu, staying at Tamanu on the Beach. We both loved every single minute of this relaxing holiday and are already planning on going back! We chose to stay at Tamanu due to all the great reviews it received on Trip Advisor, and I must say, it lived up to... more

Tamanu on the beach is both a restaurant, famed for its fine cuisine, and a boutique resort. Six cottages, each one unique, each one charming, face the ocean beach on the south east coast of Efate. Snuggled in comfort, guests can sleep soundly with the nearby waves supplying the night music of beachside holidays. Cottage construction methods vary from white-painted... more

So glad we noted the reviews and chose this absolute gem for our pre and post Pentecost adventure. Vanuatu people are lovely anyway, but the delightful staff at this beautiful location could not have done more for us. Nor could manager, Geraldine, and her charming husband, Jan (who does not even work there). We strongly suspect that Tamanu is also... more

Our bus driver Tony from Mele village took us to Tamanu for lunch. He rang ahead to order the seafood platter for us and we invited Tony to join us . The seafood platter feeds 3 to 4 people, the cost is app $140, but there are other delicious meals on the menu. The view is lovely and stroll along... more

After rain the road is bad, BUT when you get there the ambience, food, views are to die for, if you can go in and stay and do nothing it would be the place to be. more

If you want to cut of from the world and have unbelievable food then this is the place for you Gerry and her team are fantastic,... more

We have just come back from 7 days at Tamanu. The owners are hands on, with the staff being every bit attentive. Its about 20 mins outside of Port Vila with absolutely nothing else around you. The setting is beautiful and quiet (off the beaten track - literally). Only 5 bungalows, all with a fantastic setting. There are two types... more

We stayed here with 2 kids for 4 days. It is in a great location, right on the beach with snorkeling just down the road, about 15kms SE of Port Vila. The bungalows are excellent, very comfortable and tastefully decorated, made from Coral/volcanic rock and ideal for a small family with a great outdoor bathroom and plenty of hot water!... more

This was our third time at Tamanu this year. Earlier in the year we checked out all other Efate resorts as possible locations for my fifty-tenth birthday celebrations. We had friends coming from all over and we wanted the best Vanuatu could offer. Tamanu manager Geri has incredible personal style and does not overlook a thing. She and her people... more
