Welcome to Ratua Private Island Resort.

A true haven of timeless charm nestled in Vanuatu’s archipelago and regarded as the jewel of the 83 islands.

At Ratua, authenticity is paramount. The local meaning of the name Ratua is ‘everyone is welcome’. For hundreds of years, nobody inhabited Ratua as it was a tribal meeting place for chiefs in the surrounding islands to relax, discuss local matters and enjoy the unique beauty Ratua offers.

How well this captures and demonstrates the continuing essence of the ‘land forgotten by time’ in the busy world we are in. Once on the island you fully grasp the organic experience that our past customers keep coming back for.

The whole island enables our customers to feel cradled in nature by the environment that has been preserved for a maximum of 42 guests to enjoy as nature intended.
