Hosts Samara & Benie are lovely, super accommodating & always available. The single villa is on its own property directly on the beautiful calm Mele Beach which is clean & totally safe for swimming.As first time visitors to this lovely country it is very difficult to describe the amazing serenity away from all tourists with only the smiling friendly locals (& dogs!) to interact with, which makes Villa Mali an ideal location to relax & chill out.Even though the airport & main town of Port Vila are not walking distance, simply walk a couple hundred metres to the main road & flag down a passing minibus with “B” on the license plate, state your destination & join locals on their way to villages, shopping, school etc & only pay 150-200 Vatu (roughly 2)…easy!Note that eating out options in the area are limited but the fairly new Mali Beach Club just a few steps from the villa is right on the beach with decent choices including live weekend music, the Beach Bar down the other side near Hideaway Resort ferry (free!) is quite good, specializing in wood fired pizzas & has every Friday night a must see local run spectacular fire show. A solid 30 minute walk along the beach or potholed road will get you to one of the best (if not the very best) dining experiences at Island Magic Resort’s restaurant named Birdie’s. Walking back in the dark the local people say Hi & Good Night, totally safe!If privacy & relaxation is your aim Villa Mali is a top choice, HIGHLY recommended

About the host
Hosted by Samara
Villa Mali is a family-owned property created by hosts who genuinely love Vanuatu and the relaxed island lifestyle. We’ve spent years living, working, and raising our family here, and Villa Mali was designed as a place where guests can experience the same sense of ease, comfort, and connection that keeps us coming back to this part of the world.
As locals and tourism operators, we’re always happy to share tips on the best beaches, tours, restaurants, and hidden spots around Port Vila. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning to Vanuatu, we aim to make your stay simple, welcoming, and memorable — from the moment you arrive to the day you depart.

Why they chose this property
We chose this location for its peaceful beachfront setting while still being close to the best of Port Vila. This part of the coastline offers calm waters, beautiful sunsets, and a relaxed atmosphere that feels a world away from busy resorts, yet you’re only a short drive from town, tours, restaurants, and local attractions.
It’s the kind of place where days naturally slow down — morning swims, afternoon shade, and evenings watching the sun dip into the ocean. For us, it perfectly captures what a Vanuatu holiday should feel like: laid-back, scenic, and effortlessly enjoyable.

What makes this property unique
Villa Mali is an absolute beachfront villa with its own private plunge pool, offering guests a rare blend of privacy, comfort, and location. You’re just steps from the ocean, with the freedom to swim, snorkel, or relax without sharing facilities with other guests.
Unlike large resorts or apartment complexes, Villa Mali is designed for a more personal and relaxed stay. Guests enjoy exclusive use of the villa, thoughtful touches throughout, and easy access to curated experiences through our local knowledge — from island tours to dining and sunset drinks nearby. It’s an ideal choice for couples, small families, or anyone seeking a peaceful beachfront escape with all the comforts of home.
