THE PALM HOUSE VANUATU
BOUTIQUE RESORT & ORGANIC FARM
Our Resort Report
OUR Thoughts on The Palm House Boutique Resort & Organic Farm, Tukutuk Ranch, North-West Efate, Vanuatu
Simply superb. This 5-Star (self-rated) luxury resort joins a steadily increasing number of top-rated properties now on offer in Vanuatu. Unlike some of the other “Lodge-style” boutique properties we offer in Vanuatu, The Palm House is not a “single-use” resort where only guests from the same party enjoy the experience at any particular time, but here, you may encounter an exclusive number of like-minded guests from all over the world – all drawn here by the high standards on offer, the natural beauty of the location and the individual attention to individual dining preferences catered for by the resident chef.
A menu package for all guests is included in your villa’s room rate:
● Breakfast offering a choice of continental or hot breakfast options. Additional breakfast menu options are available at supplementary cost.
● A lunch menu selection
● A dinner menu selection
Alcohol is not included in the menu package, but a wide selection is available for purchase.
This is the perfect spot to relax and recharge – to do nothing but enjoy the quiet, natural surroundings or to explore the kilometres of beaches, the organic farmland, the walking trails, the beachfront swimming pool and the watersports equipment in the form of stand up paddle boards, kayaks and snorkelling gear provided for you to explore the bays and the reef.
If you are visiting Vanuatu for the first time, it may be worth considering splitting your stay between The Palm House and a property closer in to Port Vila or even on Santo Island, but if you are a repeat visitor to Vanuatu (and there are plenty falling into this category) you would be more than happy to spend all your time at The Palm House. Our Travel Specialists know Vanuatu extremely well and will organise whatever type of Vanuatu holiday which best suits your requirements.
What The Palm House Vanuatu Say About Themselves
"Our brand new luxury boutique resort is the newest property to be offered on the Vanuatu tourism market. Privately owned for the past 15 years, the resort has undergone extensive upgrading to welcome its first guests in June 2019.
As Vanuatu’s first Agro-tourism property, we proudly welcome visitors to our Tukutuk Ranch, with its 3,800 hectares of organic farmland. The resort itself, The Palm House Vanuatu, is situated on the pristine north-west coastline of Efate Island where guests are free to explore over 12kms of private beaches and reef. Our beautifully appointed villas boast private verandas with unrestricted views across the azure blue waters of the Pacific Ocean.
Our collection of menu options, ensures our guests share in a fine dining experience with our personal, inhouse chef utilizing much of the local produce sourced directly from our ranch. A true paddock to plate dining experience awaits.
Located approximately 45 minutes from the bustling city of Port Vila, The Palm House is far enough removed from the everyday distractions of city life, but close enough to enjoy if guests choose to participate in local entertainment and activities. The Palm House Vanuatu offers our guests the opportunity to unplug, relax and unwind within the natural beauty of Vanuatu and its people.”

Getting to and from The Palm House Vanuatu
The Palm House Vanuatu exists in splendid isolation out on the coast, some 30 to 45 minutes north-west of Port Vila. Once you leave the sealed main circle-island road, depending on the season, the road out to the coast can be a little slow-going. However, once you arrive at the resort a real pleasure awaits.
Guests are met at the airport and transferred to and from the resort by resort vehicle. While staying at the resort, you are not cut off from the rest of Vanuatu as the personable managers at the resort are more than happy to organise day trips by vehicle or boat to other locations if required.

Kindly note that The Palm House Vanuatu does not offer kids club facilities.
