About Ratua
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.
Whether it’s an intimate wedding ceremony, a couples escape or a significant gathering with family and friends, Ratua Private Island Resort offers an enchanting backdrop to create cherished memories that will endure for a lifetime. Our dedicated team understand the intricacies of organising group bookings, especially across different time zones and can provide seamless reservation assistance and comprehensive information support. The resort aims to alleviate the burdens of organising a group event, making the process as effortless and stress-free as possible for guests. The resort offers the flexibility to tailor special entertainment and themed events according to the specific requirements and desires of guests. This personalised approach allows for a bespoke experience, ensuring that the event aligns perfectly with the vision and preferences of the host and their guests.
