We stayed at Tamanu for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The room was cozy and beautifully maintained, offering a perfect space to relax. The staff were exceptionally helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. Fiona and Anthony did a fantastic job managing the resort — their attention to detail and warm hospitality really stood out.
A special thank you to Anthony, who went above and beyond by personally returning our wallet after we accidentally left it behind in the room. We are truly grateful for such kindness and care. Highly recommend Tamanu for anyone looking for a memorable and stress-free getaway!

Very satisfied. Beautiful scenery, considerate service, the hotel provides free shuttle bus to the city center from Monday to Saturday, and the price of airport pick-up is reasonable. The restaurant is average, it would be more perfect if there were more dishes

Great for a family holiday or couple’s getaway. At Tamanu, you’re off the beaten track, though the villas are extremely comfortable and you have everything you’ll need in room and from the staff service. The food over 12 days was consistently excellent and serving size plentiful (too much if anything !). The staff were incredibly friendly and by the end of the stay, it was like leaving family. The ONLY downside I’d highlight is the constant wind, and potentially the remoteness, but that can also be a plus!

We recently stayed three nights at Tamanu on the Beach and absolutely loved it! It’s the perfect spot to unwind — set away from the busyness of Port Vila, it was the ultimate place to relax and soak in the beauty of the final days of our trip. The rooms were stunning, the beds incredibly comfortable (we had the best, most solid nights of sleep listening to the ocean right outside), and everything was spotless — the property is impressively well maintained, especially given its oceanfront location. The food? Absolutely divine — every single meal was a 10/10. And the staff made the experience even more special. Huge thanks to Fiona, who went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, and special mention to Alice, who welcomed us with the warmest energy and truly nothing was ever too much trouble. While we connected with Alice, every single staff member we encountered was fantastic. We genuinely loved our stay and will definitely be back! If I had to mention one thing for future travelers, it’s that the property is about an hour from Port Vila, and the road is unsealed with plenty of potholes — but honestly, don’t let that deter you. Just be prepared for the trip in and out, because once you arrive, it’s so worth it.

At our third attempt, we got to Vanuatu and managed to stay at the Tamanu. Exchanged cash at the airport – rate as at 13/4 was VUV150 to GBP1 and VUV75 to 1AUD which didn’t seem bad. Tamanu picked us up for our 40 min transfer to the resort. Warm welcome when we arrived and our bungalow – 1 bed with plunge pool was gorgeous – great views of the sea, clean and modern and a large bathroom. Great WIFI in all areas of the resort including the room and nice to have fresh milk in the fridge for tea and coffee. Not much in the area so mainly ate on site and the food was tasty, varied and reasonably priced. Breakfast was included in the rate and this included A La Carte options which were great. Also popped next door to the Pizza place one afternoon for a late lunch and that was well worth the visit (5 min walk along the beach) and as a small business trying to get going they would welcome the support – cash only there. Large pool area which was great to relax in and by. Plenty of quiet areas around the resort and a great place to chill out. Met the owners who were very kind and helpful. All the staff were great and couldn’t do enough for you. Would recommend a stay at Tamanu – you will not be disappointed.

Our Vanuatu Trip We had an amazing time in Vanuatu! Tamanu on the Beach was fantastic—delicious food, cocktails, and a spacious villa with stunning views of the beach and ocean. The staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. One of the highlights was our visit to the Blue Lagoon, such a beautiful spot for swimming and snorkeling. The only downside was the private beach. We chose this resort because of the beach along with a villa on the beach. While it was a gorgeous spot, the relentless wind made it hard to relax on the beach and swimming wasn’t possible due to the coral reef. They had a small area in the coral reef cleared, but it was only knee-deep and still required reef shoes, so no proper swimming.

We had our Honeymoon here and the resort was beautiful. The food was definitely a standout, such a range available on both the regular menu and the chef's specials board (which was almost a second full menu). All breakfasts came with a fresh fruit platter, food is from a range of cuisines, and my wife's dietary requirements were easily accommodated. The staff were also amazing - Meena and Laura looked after us very well at the spa and restaurant. The road between the resort and Port Villa is very treacherous and bumpy but the drivers - Danny and Denville - who took us on our outings took very good care of us and were excellent tour guides. For things to do we recommend the horse riding, the weekly fire show and the spa at the resort. Note: the earthquake has obviously had a big impact around the island. Road conditions are quite poor, the downtown areas of Port Villa are closed and within the resort there are some villas that were closed for repairs. While some activities have stopped there is still lots to do both around the report and as excursions.
