CAPITAL PORT VILA – POPULATION 215,446 – AREA 12,200 SQ KM – OFFICIAL LANGUAGE BISLAMA
Budget flights to Port Vila in this Pacific paradise have seen an increase in visitors seeking an ideal short break. The country, a mix of French, British, Melanesian and Polynesian heritage, also pulls its fair share of suits and sailors given it operates as a tax haven, and flagging a ship here is more affordable than most of the world’s ports. With over 80 islands in the group, travelers are seeking out their own undiscovered pockets and unexplored beaches. The destination is marred only by infrequent earthquakes (in 2002 and 2007) and appearances on TV show Survivor.
