About Port Vila

Port Vila is the capital of Vanuatu on the island of Efate, a harbour town of markets, lagoons, waterfalls and kava bars in the South Pacific.

Port Vila lies on the south-west coast of Efate, in the South Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu, around a sheltered harbour with small islands offshore. Vanuatu was jointly ruled by Britain and France until independence in 1980, and Port Vila still uses Bislama, English and French, with French bakeries and cafés on its streets. The central market, piled with produce and handicrafts, is the town's meeting place, and the Vanuatu Cultural Centre records island traditions.
