Experience the diverse scenery of Ratua Island, an eco-friendly resort nestled between Aore and Malo islands in the Vanuatu archipelago. Choose from three different villages on this superb island and relax in a plush villa or luxury tent. With lush tropical forests, waterfalls, caves and beaches, the 146-acre (59-hectare) island is a private playground where you can go on exciting adventures or simply take in the views. Begin your Ratua Island experience by exploring your neighbourhood: Fish Village, West Point Village or South Point Village. Get comfortable in your idyllic lodgings or inquire with resort staff about some of the activities that are available. The inviting waters are perfect for a relaxing swim. Grab your snorkel and explore some of the nearby lagoons and blue holes. You might see coral gardens amid the reefs and glide by sea turtles and schools of multicolored fish. Try paddling along the coastline in a traditional outrigger canoe or join an excursion to some of the surrounding islands. Marc’s Ranch has a collection of horses that you can saddle up for an adventure on the island. You can also explore Ratua Island via electric buggy or mountain bike. Sign up for a game fishing trip or learn about local traditions at one of the nearby cultural village foundations. Challenge your friends to a game of volleyball or pe’tanque. Sunny Spa has all your remedial needs covered and has a wide range of beauty packages and massage treatments. As evening falls, make your way to the Yacht Club and relax in the thatched-roof bungalow bar or take a seat on the open-air deck. Sumptuous meals and a range of drinks are available on the menu. See what’s screening at the Bush Cinema or hit the beach for a barbecue under the stars. Ratua Island is a luxury resort and nature sanctuary off the southern shores of Espiritu Santo. It is a 30-minute motorboat journey from the private launch near Luganville’s international airport. Accommodation include Balinese-style villas and luxury tents with direct beach access and scenic private terraces. - Top hotels in Ratua Island - Top Holiday Rentals in Ratua Island ![Ratua Private Island Resort](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/5000000/4300000/4290600/4290542/c6ab2982_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### Ratua Private Island Resort Luganville, P.O.
