Shopping in Vanuatu offers a unique cultural experience that goes far beyond traditional souvenirs.
Shopping
Vanuatu: a South Pacific shopping paradise. Explore the duty-free shops, local markets, and hidden treasures, blending culture with international goods for a memorable experience.
Explore the vibrant local markets, such as those in Port Vila and Luganville, where you can find a variety of handcrafted goods made by local artisans. From intricately woven baskets and mats to beautifully carved wooden sculptures, these items showcase the rich heritage of the islands.
Don’t miss the opportunity to sample or purchase locally made products like Gaston chocolat and Tanna Coffee, perfect for bringing a taste of Vanuatu back home.
Duty Free
Vanuatu also offers an interesting duty-free shopping experience. If you wish to make duty-free purchases, you have three options:
1. Shop at the airport on the day of your arrival in Vanuatu. You then choose to import duty-free goods into Vanuatu, within a certain limit.
2. With your passport and departure ticket, shop at a downtown duty-free store (Fung Kuei, Paris Shopping, etc.) at least 24 hours before your return flight’s departure time. You will collect your purchases at the airport on the day of your departure from Vanuatu.
3. Shop at the airport on the day of your departure from Vanuatu, in the duty-free zone. Please check your destination country's duty-free import limits.
