Eratap Beach Resort

It was the perfect balance of relaxation with everything to do right at your front door. Loved the privacy this resort has to offer, yet so many opportunities to get some amazing magical adventures in as well. Including relaxed local village activities which were enjoyed by the whole family, and really wonderful snorkeling at the resort (20m from our bedroom door!) as well as access to snorkelling at the local private islands. The perfect holiday destination for us

If you are looking for a relaxing, friendly place to stay which offers a five star service. Then the Eratap Beach Resort is the place to stay. We had the one bedroom beachfront villa with everything you would expect for a luxury holiday and wonderful ocean views from the bed or from one of the two outside lounges. Food at the restaurant was excellent and being gluten free, nothing was too hard. As it is a smaller resort compared to other countries (like Fiji) the small number of staff get to know you and become good friends during your stay. Many thanks to the Chef and staff at the restaurant. Lots of activities to do or just do nothing, the choice is yours. If having trouble to decide what to do a wealth of experience is available at the front desk. Spa was great experience, having never had a massage before, very relaxing and professional. Pool and grounds well maintained without the overcrowding you have at larger resorts. We even had the pool to ourselves most of the time. With the restaurant staff delivering food and cocktails when ordered by pool telephone. Day trips and tours by boat or bus were available and recommend the picnic on castaway island. Beautiful beach and great snorkelling. Overall the best resort we have ever stayed and didn’t want to leave after 10 days of Vanuatu hospitality. Already missing everyone and looking forward to our next trip back.

Apart from the beautiful surrounds, comfortable villas and delicious food, the thing that makes staying at Eratrap Beach Resort most memorable is the staff. They are awesome. We had a lovely relaxing holiday here. We snorkeled, SUP’d, kayaked, surfed, played tennis and enjoyed the daily morning activities the resort put on. Will definitely return.

The resort is beautiful, the location is great. Luisa and Toni are great hosts. The villas are beautiful and the food is top class. All our wishes were fulfilled. Special thanks to Pascalle who helped us organize the onward journey to Sando after Air Vanuatu went bankrupt. Air Taxi worked great. Thank you for a wonderful vacation say Andrea and Volkmar from Germany

We have been to Eratap four times and it always lives up to our (high) expectations. This time we went to celebrate a significant birthday and invited some friends to come with us. They loved it as much as we do and raved about the resort location, the size and privacy of the villas, the range of activities, the fabulous food, and of course the warmth of the Eratap team. Special thanks to Pascale, chef Todd, Melanie, and Maki for making my birthday dinner so memorable. Eratap truly is a special place. All of our group are talking about when they are coming back and one couple have already booked for September!

The resort has everything you would want: great site, excellent well-designed and private villas, good food, a good pool, gym, and lots of free water-based equipment. I found the coral on the beaches and even out on the private island something of a challenge: wearing proper shoes would probably alleviate this.

We were here for 12 nights . It’s a journey from Canada but was so worth it . We love the location and access to all the activities. The snorkelling 30 metres in front of the restaurant was terrific. We also enjoyed the snorkelling in front of the big island and chilling on the beach at Castaway. The villas we had , 6 and 7 were huge and, spacious, comfortable with lovely views of the sea. Now, the staff. I can’t say enough about all the staff being so friendly, helpful and caring . Melanie, Winnie, Natasha, Wendy, Joseph, Maki, Sharon and Valery in the restaurant. Glenda in the shop. Annie and Julia in the spa. The boat boys, Palu, Max, David and Mak. Our driver , Robert . The housekeeping staff. Wendy and Helen at reception. There are more but everyone was terrific. Thanks also to the managers, Pascale and Chelsea and the owners, Tony and Louissa. We appreciate all your advice and assistance. A very special place and hope we can return one day.

the villas ain't cheap, but WOW ! Beautiful settings, well equiped, spacious, superb service, wonderful activities, great food, what else ? Even with pretty bad weather, it beats being stuck anywhere else on the island. Would I rather save a a few hundred dollars and get depressed elswhere ? Hum...No ! Better 4 days at Eratap than a full week elswhere,,,

We were two couples who stayed for six nights in a deluxe 2 bedroom villa. I would describe our stay as sheer luxury. The resort is set on a quiet private beach a little away from the bustle of Port Vila. If you just want to relax and chill out then this is a great place to do it. Tony and all the lovely staff make it clear that you are there to do whatever you want to, and they will help you in any way they can. A beautiful and friendly place.
