Mele Bay
A wide bay northwest of Port Vila lined with beaches, beach clubs and dive sites. A good spot for sunsets and water sports.
Mele Bay lies northwest of Port Vila, stretching along the coast to Mele village. The bay includes Hideaway Island and Mele Beach, among other places. Beach clubs offer sun loungers, pools and food and drink, and you can go kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, parasailing and semi-submersible boat trips. The bay mouth is deep water with several dive sites. In the evening, watching the sun set over the western sea is one of the most popular pastimes in Port Vila. It is about 15 minutes by taxi from the town centre and can be combined with Mele Falls and Hideaway Island in one day. Note: some beach clubs charge an entry fee or a minimum spend.
