Wala, Vanuatu
It barely gets a mention in most guidebooks but this remote, densely-vegetated island in northern Vanuatu will excite anyone with an interest in anthropology. Cut off from its larger neighbor, Malekula, by a deep channel, Wala is remarkably untouched by modern culture – astounding, considering its welcoming inhabitants, wondrous environs, world-class snorkeling and fascinating ancient traditions.
Local Traditions
Take a guided walk around the village to learn about its centuries-old traditions. If you can, catch a traditional ceremony – they’re frequently staged for visitors, along with cooking and hunting demonstrations.
Relax
Visit local markets and stores to pick up striking, high-quality handicrafts, then cool off with a swim or snorkel off one of the island’s beaches.
