Malo Island is a small idyllic piece of land that sprang from a volcano, with scenic views in every direction. Inhabited by two groups of indigenous peoples, the island has a fascinating history steeped in tradition. Wander around the island at your own pace to encounter its caves, beaches and small villages. Enjoy the hot summer weather with a stroll along the beaches that form a perimeter around the island. November to April is the hottest period and also the wettest. With a circumference of just 34 miles (55 kilometers), Malo Island is among the smallest islets in the Vanuatu archipelago. Make it your own charming vacation getaway. Sunbathe to enhance your tan and cool down with a refreshing swim in the ocean waters. Bring snorkeling gear with you to the island for a chance to spot the fascinating subaquatic life around the coral reefs. The water is clean, clear and warm. Get a sense of the local village life with a trip to Avunatari on the northwestern part of the island. The setting is a serene contrast to the larger towns of Vanuatu, such as Luganville and Port Vila. Stay at one of the guesthouses and bungalows in this tranquil town. Explore one of the island’s various tropical plantations, which are responsible for the production of copra, cocoa, vanilla and kava. Climb to Malo Peak, the island’s highest point. Malo Island is about 2 miles (3 kilometers) south of Espiritu Santo, which is the largest part of the Vanuatu archipelago. Contact various resorts and tour operators to arrange the trip. Boats to the island depart from a small port 9 miles (15 kilometers) west of Luganville and the ride should take about half an hour. With its spectacular scenery and intriguing history, Malo Island offers a vacation filled with serenity, leisure and culture. - Malo Island Hotel Deals - Vacation Rentals in Malo Island ![Beachfront Resort](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/7000000/6490000/6480300/6480205/d6b39cb5_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### Beachfront Resort Red Corner Luganville Espiritu Santo $91 nightly $106 total Mar 27 - Mar 28 Total with taxes and fees Book a stay at this beach resort in Luganville.
