Espiritu Santo – just the name is enough to put a faraway look in your eye. Named by Portuguese explorer Pedro Fernandes de Queirós, this island is the largest in the archipelago. It has the Vanuatu’s tallest mountains, the South Pacific’s most delicious beef and the world’s most beautiful beach. We’ll show you Santo’s magnificent eastern coast – an enchanting interplay of rugged headlands, jungle-edged coves and perfect coral islands.
Mountainous and exotically beautiful, Santo has done much for the mystique of the South Pacific.  It embraces two contrasting tropical worlds: the western side of the island is wild and untamed with tall volcanic peaks and thick jungle, while the eastern side is a gentle paradise of lush farmland and coral coast.  Santo produces copra, cocoa and coffee.  It is also famous for its premium beef.
