Lakatoro is the capital and largest town of Malekula Province in Vanuatu, located on the east coast of Malekula, the second largest island in the country, bordering the Coral Sea in the Pacific Ocean. As the administrative center of the province, with a population of about 1,500, it is a small town, but a hidden jewel of the South Pacific due to its unique natural and cultural charms. Surrounded by lush rainforests, white coral beaches, and the iconic black volcanic coast, the town is rich in ecological resources and ideal for diving, bird watching, and experiencing aboriginal culture. The local economy is based on fishing, coconut farming and handicrafts, and the inhabitants speak mostly Bislama, French and English, blending Anglo-French colonization with Melanesian traditions in a simple and friendly atmosphere. For travelers looking to get away from the hustle and bustle, Lakatoro is the perfect gateway to Vanuatu's pristine island flavor.
