Vila Chaumières Resort - Port Vila

Simply magical. my partner I spent here in vanuatu. through the enchanting tropical garden to the lagoon front-open air restaurant is very beautiful. we had one of the rooms in the upper floor with a large balcony. it is not new, but like a great old mother who is gracefully aged, and gave us a feeling to be under the real vanuatu. I wish I could have stayed forever. eating was the best we had in vanuatu and the staff so warm and friendly. nothing was too much annoyed. owner ursula, manager elise, the beautiful lucy, and the whole staff was simply fantastic.

We stayed in March 2019 and had the whole place to ourselves for 3 of our days' stay and the staff were wonderful Brenly, Serah and Elice were so welcoming and helpful. Elice even shared a piece of her birthday cake with us! With only five rooms, Vila Chaumieres is a great place for couples or small groups of adults only to relax and enjoy Port Vila. The grounds are amongst lush gardens and the resort does have a pool which was nice when the owners came back from holidays they came to see us by the pool to say hello. The restaurant is over the lagoon which is lovely, you can see the fish during your peaceful breakfast of croissants and local fruit. You can order cooked breakfast if you wish, at additional cost. The restaurant is popular and lots of people come from cruise ships and the town to try the french cuisine. The portions are generous and dinner good quality, The rooms are spacious and clean and we had a lagoon view room with a balcony which was lovely, we could see out to the lagoon, gardens and restaurant. The property is close to an au bon marche supermarket and getting buses was easy which would take you wherever you went. Apart from that though the property was not walking distance to the town so just bear that in mind, but buses were really affordable. There was water in our room on arrival but I had expected it to be replenished daily, but additional water was at a cost, however we retained the bottles and refilled them with tap water and chilled it as the water is fine to drink. Overall a wonderful stay and holiday and we would definitely return!!!

A wonderful experience of French cuisine the tranquility of being perched on the edge of lagoon only added to the dining experience. I would highly recommend a visit this this hidden away gem when holidaying or even if residing in Vanuatu. 10/10

Wonderful place to eat. The ambience is beautiful along with the staff and owners. Our meal was absolutely delicious. Cooked to perfection. Very romantic evening
