About Iririki Island Resort & Spa
Iririki Island Resort & Spa covers a 69-acre island in Port Vila Harbour, a 3-minute ferry ride from the center of town. It offers rooms, faré, villas and penthouse suites, many of them on the waterfront.
What sets it apart is the mix of island calm and town access: the free ferry runs 24 hours a day, so Port Vila’s markets and restaurants are always close. It suits families, couples and first-time visitors.
