When is the best time to go?


The best time to visit Vanuatu for a beach vacation is during the dry season, which runs from April to October. This period offers the most conducive weather conditions for enjoying the archipelago's stunning beaches and outdoor activities.

  • April to June: These months mark the transition from the wet to the dry season. The weather is generally pleasant, with less humidity and fewer tourists, making it an ideal time for those seeking tranquility on their beach vacation.
  • July to September: This is the peak of the dry season and the most popular time for tourists. The weather is sunny and dry, perfect for sunbathing, snorkeling, and diving. However, it's also the busiest period, so booking accommodations in advance is recommended.
  • October: As the dry season comes to an end, the weather remains warm and enjoyable, with the added benefit of fewer crowds. This is a great time for visitors looking for a more intimate experience with nature and local culture.

Regardless of the specific month, the dry season in Vanuatu offers a delightful beach vacation with its clear skies, comfortable temperatures, and minimal rainfall, ensuring a memorable tropical getaway.
