Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire gated property, including Kayaks and own private beach. Occasionally you may share the property with one other group in the other villa, but this is rare.
The Neighborhood:
Whispering Palms is located north of Port Vila at Siviri Village which is situated on Undine Bay about 10 minutes from Havannah Harbour. This area is away from the hustle and bustle of Port Vila and it is where some of the best bars and restaurants are and where the world class resort The Havannah is situated due to the beauty of the area.
Positioned locally you have Francesca's Italian, The Wahoo Bar, Orovy Restaurant, Gideons Lansing, The Moso Resort and The Havannah Resort. As we are a sand beach you can swim directly out the front of the property or walk around and explore the rest of Undine Bay.
Whispering Palms is also relatively close to some of the best tourist attractions and must see islands which all visits can be arranged during your stay.
We also have two local stores, one that will deliver to the villas if you need fresh bread, eggs, butter, jam, in season produce etc.
The position of Whispering Palms is very private with vacant land next door and a local village on the other side who can do local tours for you and supply plenty of smiles. The area is unique as you will experience the true beauty of Efate and enjoy a little barefoot simplicity making this a true Vanuatu experience.

Lovely property with beautiful snorkelling opportunities right outside.

Absolute Paradise!
We had the most marvellous times at Whispering Palms! From the moment we arrived we felt relaxed and were joyously welcomed by Silvi & John. We snorkelled most mornings straight out the front and one day were even lucky enough to have a pod of dolphins swim right up to us! The compendium that Marcello provided was amazing and had a lot of personalised suggestions for our day trips but in the end we enjoyed just being at home at Whispering Palms more than anything else. The home is comfortable and had everything we could ever need and is a perfect 40 minutes from town making it easy to get a taxi or bus in, but far enough out that you are in paradise and away from the tourist spots at night. I would absolutely love to return again!!
