Turtle Bay is located on the east coast of Espiritu Santo Island. It’s also known as the Bay of Islands and is the ideal base for your holiday rental in Vanuatu. Santo is not only the largest island in Vanuatu (4,000 sq km) but is also the most beautiful with some of Vanuatu’s highest mountains (Mt Tabwemasana), prettiest beaches (Champagne Beach) and best diving (SS Coolidge).
Turtle Bay really is the jewel in Santo’s crown, a calm, protected turquoise lagoon surrounded by half a dozen tropical islands, each with their own stunning beaches, reefs and rainforest. There’s even a set of outer islands (Turtle, Aese and Mavea) surrounding the inner islands with more beaches, reef and rainforest to discover! Over nine islands right on your doorstep. These island protect Turtle Bay from the southerly trade winds that blow between June and September and from the rough seas created by cyclones/storms in the summer months (Nov – Mar). When you add in the three incredibly beautiful blue holes with crystal rivers flowing into the bay you begin to understand why Turtle Bay is considered to be one of the best places for holiday rentals Espiritu Santo Vanuatu.
