Tamanu on the Beach

We stayed at Tamanu for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The room was cozy and beautifully maintained, offering a perfect space to relax. The staff were exceptionally helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. Fiona and Anthony did a fantastic job managing the resort — their attention to detail and warm hospitality really stood out. A special thank you to Anthony, who went above and beyond by personally returning our wallet after we accidentally left it behind in the room. We are truly grateful for such kindness and care. Highly recommend Tamanu for anyone looking for a memorable and stress-free getaway!

Our Vanuatu Trip We had an amazing time in Vanuatu! Tamanu on the Beach was fantastic—delicious food, cocktails, and a spacious villa with stunning views of the beach and ocean. The staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. One of the highlights was our visit to the Blue Lagoon, such a beautiful spot for swimming and snorkeling. The only downside was the private beach. We chose this resort because of the beach along with a villa on the beach. While it was a gorgeous spot, the relentless wind made it hard to relax on the beach and swimming wasn’t possible due to the coral reef. They had a small area in the coral reef cleared, but it was only knee-deep and still required reef shoes, so no proper swimming.

I had the pleasure of staying at Tamanu on the Beach from January 6th to 12th as part of my honeymoon with my wife, and I can confidently say it was the absolute highlight of our trip. This is coming from someone who also stayed at some incredible 5-star hotels in Australia and Hamilton Island—Tamanu truly stands out. The staff were exceptional—warm, welcoming, super friendly, and always attentive. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, making our stay truly unforgettable. Their hospitality made us feel so special that leaving felt like saying goodbye to family. We stayed in the one-bedroom villa with a plunge pool and a sea view, and it was simply breathtaking. The villa was spacious, beautifully designed, and waking up to that stunning view every morning was nothing short of magical. We had absolutely no complaints about the room—it was perfect. And the food? Wow. Every dish was outstanding, crafted with so much care and flavor. Dining there was a highlight in itself. Our stay was so amazing that we wished we could extend it, but unfortunately, they were fully booked. Tamanu exceeded all our expectations, and if I could give them more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Highly, highly recommended!
