Tamanu on the Beach

I had a great time here. It is beautifully situated on a stunning and expansive beach. The food is excellent, we had their shakshuka for breakfast every day and couldn't get enough of it. And the dinner and lunches were equally healthy and delicious. Its worth paying more for a nice cottage, we love our sea shell home and falling asleep to the sound of waves. And the management was so great and helpful and make everything work. Its remoteness is a big part of its charm. You feel like you're at the end of the world. But because of this remoteness, the hotel would benefit from a few more things to do. Like a communal sitting room to read / have drinks in. Because there is just the dining room and your bedroom. Or make the pool area more of a focal point. Or more activities (the fire dance is INCREDIBLE). We stayed for a week and adored it. And think its the best spot in Vanuatu.

Breakfast great location is why I stayed here

Cocktails, music . But awesome

Magical place! Nice and comfy villas, wonderful restaurant. A bit far from the city, but the resort offers a shuttle each day. Special thanks and appreciation to the Staff. I cannot express my admiration and gratitute to the people working in Tamanu. The whole Staff makes this place feel even better than home.

The staff is so friendly, location on the beach is nice

Nothing to complain about

We absolutely loved our stay at Tamanu on the Beach—it was everything we could have hoped for! The food was incredible, with every meal feeling like a special treat. The villas were stunning, with comfortable beds, great air conditioning, and the most amazing beach views that made waking up each day a joy. However, the true highlights of our stay were the incredible staff. Special thanks to Alice and Laura, who went above and beyond to make our experience so memorable. Their warmth, kindness, and fun personalities made us feel right at home.

The beach is mostly shallow coral / rock which you can swim at high tide but it isn’t really for snorkelling and is often choppy due to the onshore winds

Good hotel with great views of beach and friendly staff . First day the internet didn’t work and was fixed the next day .very windy and cannot swim or dip in the beach full of corals and swell too strong .the hotel could do some renovations to room and upgrade linen since it’s not worth the price you pay .maybe consider enclosed eating area for those who don’t appreciate being annoyed by bugs flying around you , there seemed to be a wasp nest just outside my bathroom . Food was great and staff accomodating to change things around . There was no charge for room service which is a plus .

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!

Breaky very good, staff excellent

No water activities available ie kayaks etc Meals a little pricey

Had the chance to enjoy this slice of paradise. Away from the crowds in Port Vila, Tamanu is in a peaceful right on the coral beach. Food was excellent!!! They arranaged tours and drivers for us. Service was great and the restaurant people really made the difference! Isabelle, Jenny, Loys were great! Bill the driver also added to our enjoyment. Eva the manager made us feel at home. Rooms!Villas are large and cleam. Comfortae beds, great AC and we were on the beach with sea views and surf rolling. Had our own plunge pool which I really enjoyed. Its a great place to relax!
