surfing in Vanuatu |
| |
There are many great places to stay in Vanuatu if you are a surfing enthusiast. This place is just as good as some of the crowded spots in Fiji, Samoa, Tonga but only half the price. Similar to the Maldives it doesn't get huge but has perfect shape in tropical surroundings and it is right outside your front door.
Vanuatu has a tropical climate (hot and humid conditions with humidity averaging 80% all year). The hot wet season occurs between November and April when cyclones are also likely to occur. Average temperature ranges in Vila are from 19 to 26 degrees Celsius (66 degrees Fahrenheit) in August to 24 to 31 degrees Celsius (75 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit) in February.
