Living Room

The living room is in the centre of the main building with three large sofas arranged around beautifully carved tables, furnished with local art and antiques. From the open-sided living room, a kitchen beckons the gastronomically-talented to cook up a feast.

The villa has a second dining area set next to the pool beside the ocean’s edge.

Location

Situated in a tranquil and unspoiled area of Vanuatu, Rockpools is on Devil’s Point Road in Bukura, which is a 25-minute drive from the airport and capital city, Port Vila. The location offers a true sense of seclusion while remaining accessible to nearby attractions, cultural sites, and local markets. Guests are encouraged to rent a private vehicle at the airport as public transport is not a reliable way for travellers to get around Port Vila. Whether you’re seeking a serene retreat, an adventurous getaway, or a mix of both, Rockpools promises an extraordinary stay in one of the world’s most beautiful destinations.

    What a stunning place — the ocean views are incredible, right at your doorstep! We had such a wonderful time at the villa. It’s peaceful, beautifully kept, and the perfect spot to relax and unwind. We honestly didn’t want to leave!

    A perfect tropical island get a way. Snorkelling in the Rock Pool and ocean front is so cool, rooms and common areas are really well appointed. Beautiful location with fresh sea breezes and tropical environment with fresh fruits from the garden in abundance. Loved the pool table and wonderful relaxing environment. Easy access to golf, zip lines and some of the best snorkelling in the world make for a wonderful and relaxing holiday. Thank you – we had a great time and looking forward to a return visit,. 🙏

    We had a wonderful family holiday at Rockpools, which comfortably accommodated 7 adults, including my 84 year old mother. The bungalows are so comfortable and private, surrounded by tropical gardens. The main house was beautifully appointed with interesting art and collectables and a fully equipped kitchen which we loved. The spacious grounds gave us enough space to chill out when we needed, and come together for family dinners and drinks overlooking the ocean. My favourite was swimming in the deep blue lagoon cave on the coral ridge – crystal clear with so many colourful fish. Such a peaceful place for a tropical getaway.

    Fantastic waterfront villa with ample space for a large group. If you are looking for a villa that is a 2.5 hour flight from Brisbane then look no further. Rockpools is situated on the rocks with a private rock pool guests can enjoy. For divers you will love diving along the reef directly out the front of the villa. You have access to two kayaks which my husband and I took out one afternoon, followed by a dip in the pool and sunset drinks up on the deck. They also have housekeeping daily and full time security. I recommend hiring a car for ease to get around however you can arrange a car and driver with the Ministry concierge.
