Workation in Port Vila: the essentials
Spread around a sheltered harbour on the west coast of Efate, Port Vila is the capital of Vanuatu and its commercial centre, home to about 49,000 people. Bislama is the everyday language, with English and French also official, a legacy of the joint British and French rule that ended in 1980. The waterfront market and the Vanuatu Cultural Centre are the fixed points in town, and reefs start just offshore. Bauerfield International Airport is about 5 km away. The country lies in a cyclone and earthquake zone, and a strong quake in December 2024 damaged parts of the centre, so ask what has reopened before you plan a longer stay.
