Hidden on one of Espiritu Santo's outer Islands, Ratua is a resort like no other.
Offering both couples and families a rustic eco-luxe holiday experience.
Its stunning location is matched only by its distinctive accommodation, 1 and 2 Bedroom century old teak wood Beachfront Villas. Each Villa has a private deck and quirkily adorned with rustic furnishings, antiques and curios. Many feature an external vintage bathroom attached to the master bedroom or Villa by a covered patio.
Sustainably designed to integrate with environment and minimize impact, each accommodation is carefully sited to provide stunning ocean views and privacy. In 3 separate ‘villages’ – Fish, West and South Village each village flows from the resort’s central facility and restaurant, The Yacht Club.
146 acre playground
Surrounded by private white sand beaches, a turquoise lagoon laden with sea life and coral reefs. The Island of Ratua not only visually splendid but also a fertile oasis. Island grown produce includes livestock and organic vegetables, a mature coconut plantation that supplies the resort with the fruit and oil.
Guests at any time, can explore the island in its entirety, either by bicycle or horseback. The tranquil lagoon, ideal for SUP, kayaks or snorkeling. Thrill seekers can water ski or sit tight in a ski biscuit or enjoy the best of both worlds and swim with the horses!
Offshore tours are available which include fishing, visiting some of Santo’s many sites (dive the SS President Coolidge or swim in Santo’s famous Champagne Beach). Or canoe to the Malo Blue Hole for a swim in its iridescent waters.
Luxury Ratua style
Ratua’s rustic luxury invites travelers to enjoy a gentler pace with genuine and authentic interactions. Without the worldly distractions of TV and WiFi, days drift along with an undertaking of spontaneous activity or in the overwater Spa which offers treatments that relax the mind, body and soul.
Truly extraordinary place
Our week-long stay at Ratua was nothing short of magical. For those travelers looking for something truly unique, special and seemingly undiscovered, this is the place. You could believe for an entire week that you had somehow stumbled upon the greatest secret in Vanuatu, and that among this tremendous natural beauty, genuine warmth and friendliness, and return to the elements, you had found the perfect getaway. We spent the week without shoes, without screens and with the happiest children (and adults!) we have ever had TripAdvisor.com
