About the Island Hotel
Eratap Beach Resort - A 5-star waterfront retreat with private villas, surf breaks, and lagoon access
Tucked within 5 hectares of coastal forest, Eratap Beach Resort offers 14 private beachfront villas featuring plunge pools, outdoor showers, and uninterrupted ocean views. Villas range from 70-120m², with options for couples (1-bedroom) or families (2-bedroom), each including flat-screen TVs, free WiFi, and ensuite bathrooms with soaking tubs. The restaurant serves Vanuatu organic beef, locally caught seafood like 'poulet' fish, and tropical produce, with flexible dining hours from 7:30am to 10:00pm. Guests access three white-sand beaches, a coral reef 20m offshore, and complimentary water sports gear, including kayaks, surfboards, and snorkeling equipment. The resort's right-hand surf break is among Efate's most consistent waves, while motorized boats ferry guests to Castaway Island or deep-sea fishing charters. Bauerfield International Airport is 20km away, with free transfers provided.
