There is one thing you cannot avoid upon arrival at Breakas Beach Resort: the sea. As you walk into reception for the first time, it doesn’t so much as capture your eye, but rips it from your sockets, wowing you with its overwhelming and fantastic presence.

And unsurprisingly, the sea is at the heart of everything that goes on here: activities are based around it, food is drawn from it, stories are told of it. And then there are the views. But however much the sea may draw visitors to Breakas, it’s the resort that keeps them here. And in style.

The 66 tropical bungalows that dot the shoreline and just beyond all feature comfy king-size beds, open-air coral-walled bathrooms, private balconies and most of the modern conveniences one would expect of a first-class property – minus the television (a plus here).

For those after more traditional luxury, Breakas features eight fully serviced, three-bedroom villas, scattered along the shores of the resort’s exclusive two kilometre beach. A private pool in each villa means you can hit the water anytime you like.

Nestled five minutes out of Port Vila, Breakas is far enough away to make it feel like you’re a million miles from anywhere. But with the ‘big smoke’ just a short drive away, one can easily turn a quiet seaside escape into a night out in town. And with an adults only policy, it’s little wonder why this resort is so popular with honeymooners.

The Breakas restaurant takes the finest and freshest local ingredients and produces first-class dishes, worthy of any big city restaurant. And has views to match. Try the seafood; it comes from the ocean you’re staring into.
