ANEITYUM

VANUATU

THE BEST KEPT SECRET OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC

The crossroads of latitude 20.14 and longitude 169.46 is an anchorage secure from all winds – south to north via east. Even in strong SE one can anchor comfortably in 9 meters, close to the reef along the shoreline. It is Analgouhat Bay. Inyeug Islet and surrounding reef add to the protection from swell and roll and ensure the comfort of the anchorage. Inyeug is a name hard to pronounce so the Island is called Mystery Island and although it is small, one could walk around it in just over an hour, it has a special importance for the community of Aneityum. It is an airport for Van Air flights arriving from Port Vila. It is a grass air strip and every landing offers a scenic view of reefs and islands.

The villagers are the friendliest ever and helpful people. Their smiles, kindness and generosity will warm your heart.

The hand carved canoes are the main transport in the Bay, fast and reliable. In fact they are the only transport. There is no traffic on Aneityum, there are only walking tracks.

Mystery Island is a very special place. The bungalows allow for a true and absolute Robinson Crusoe experience, bond with nature on this unique island and exploration and enjoyment of surrounding coral reef and tropical fish.
