Hotel and Motels provide a great option for those who want to drop their bags and head to explore. Coming in different standards and styles choose one the suits your budget and your location.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most hotels and motels are in Port Vila, with a smaller cluster in Luganville on Santo. That puts you near restaurants, shops, banks, and airport transfers. You will find far fewer hotel-style properties on outer islands, where bungalows are the norm. If you want to walk to dinner or catch an early flight, town is where this style makes sense.
Standards vary from simple rooms to full-service hotels, but you can generally expect a lockable room, a made bed, and someone at reception. Many have a restaurant or are a short walk from one. Pools and air-conditioning are common in mid-range and above, not guaranteed everywhere. Read the listing for power, wifi, and whether breakfast is included.
Hotels and motels suit short stays, business or wedding guests, families who want to be in town, and anyone connecting to another island the next day. They also work if you prefer to choose a different restaurant each night. Travellers seeking a beach-and-pool bubble usually pick a resort; those wanting village life pick a bungalow. This is the practical, drop-your-bags option.
