Vanuatu

Port Vila is Vanuatu’s capital and a city of 35,901 people on the island of Efate. It is the country’s main urban centre and uses the Pacific/Efate time zone.

Most travellers arrive through Bauerfield International Airport (VLI), which serves Port Vila. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so beach trips require looking beyond the nearby coastline rather than relying on a named beach in the immediate area.

However, it is becoming increasingly common in tourist-oriented establishments, especially with the rising number of international visitors. While not obligatory, a small tip for good service is always appreciated.
