Hotel Santo

Located on Espiritu Santo, the largest island in Vanuatu, Hotel Santo offers modern accommodation in the centre of town, only five minutes from the airport.

The accommodation consists of 22 comfortable self-contained double and single rooms with air-conditioning and shower or bath, and eight self-contained units with ceiling fans.

The licensed restaurant serves superb Melanesian cuisine and specialises in fresh local seafood and other delicacies. The hotel's facilities also include a bar, swimming pool and car rental.

Guests will enjoy the natural wonder of beautiful beaches, coral inlets, colourful reefs, mountains and lush tropical vegetation, and have the opportunity to visit picturesque coconut plantations. Tennis, golf and horse-riding can also be arranged by the hotel.

For snorkelling and scuba-diving, the crystal clear waters provide exceptional underwater visibility. The wreck of 'The President Coolidge', which hit some mines in 1942, is a popular diving site and offers a myriad of tropical marine life.

Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday guests can visit the markets where delicate hand-carved artefacts and ornaments including masks, shells and coral ornaments are displayed among the range of fresh tropical fruit and vegetables. Bargain priced duty free goods are also popular.
