We are just back from a week at Villa 25 and we absolutely rate this as the best accommodation option in Vanuatu and Port Villa. I've been to Vanuatu 3 times in the last 10 years and stayed at Iririki first and then LeMeridian - this way out classed those options. Villa 25 is just 5 minutes from central Port... More

8 days at Villa 25 went by far too fast. Great location, excellent staff, first-class facilities. If you're looking for some luxury and seclusion then this is the place for you. Lovely private beach, fantastic infinity pool, use the full shared kitchen or cook in your room - or take one of the exclusive taxi services to a local restaurant.

DEFINITELY HIGHTLY RECOMMENDED. Efate island is dotted with “holiday resorts” that are, unfortunately, mostly akin to tacky motels. Villa 25 is a heavenly contrast – 3 self-contained villas on the one property with all the modern comforts and zero tackiness. The only other comparable accommodation that I know of on the island would be The Havannah, but for a detached... More

After reading all the positive reviews of Villa 25, I was a bit skeptical about whether a place could live up to this kind of reputation. But, our stay there exceeded all expectations we had, and kudos must go to Kris and her hard working team for creating such an exceptional experience! Our highlights included the beautiful snorkelling directly out... More

I have been very slow in writing this review as I wanted Villa 25 to sink in before I started writing about it. There are so many great things about this place. It is not far from town by taxi ($2). Kendrick our driver was a really nice guy and always on hand to pick you up on request using... More

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Your stay here was in Nov/Dec 2010 so there have been many changes since then. The owners have stepped back from Villa 25 management to enjoy Vanuatu in a more leisurely manner, and have employed myself as the General Manager. You’ll be pleased to know that the slippery tile situation is finally... More

Dear Kris & the Villa 25 team, Our stay in Vanuatu was truly magical due to the outstanding accommodation at Villa 25. Having the coral reef right at our doorstep allowed for daily access to some of the best snorkelling on the island! Loved the free and easy access to the reef shoes, snorkelling equipment, and both single and double... More

The rooms are appointed with everything you could ask for, premium appointments and appliances. Beautiful pool view and snorkeling on your doorstep. The in-house dining option with the amazingly talented and charming Fiona was the pinnacle of an amazing place, it was close to perfection

This is a sanctuary away from Port Vila itself. Beautifully appointed villa with huge shared chef's kitchen overlooking the water. Snorkelling is only a few steps away from the infinity pool. Hosts are lovely and Kendrick the bus driver a gem. We checked out quite a few hotels, including ones that our families had chosen - by far Villa 25... More

Villa 25 is stunning, nothing can beat the serenity of the place and the gorgeous sunsets! The communal kitchen is well stocked and the view to die for, it makes cooking a pleasure. Kris is very attentive and so helpful. Everything from keeping the wine fridge stocked, to organising car hire, bus and taxi pick up to and from town.... More
