Vanuatu’s latest new-build resort, rising up from the site of a former limestone cliff in Port Vila, is on track for its 1 April, 2017, official opening.
Ramada Port Vila is fast taking shape along the banks of the Erakor Lagoon.
A cliff face had to be removed before building could commence.
The self-contained, four-star resort comprises 67 junior rooms, eight studios and five two-bedroom suites which all overlook the water.
Accommodation starts from A$350, including breakfast, as part of five-pay four or stay seven-pay five packages.
Once complete, the resort will also boast a conference/ballroom, which could host 140 people as well as three bars and a restaurant.
Other features include a conference room, pool, gym, meeting rooms, jetty, mini mart and day spa.
The managing director is George Duchaineaux, who was previously general manager of the new Ramada Hotel & Suites Noumea.
The former resident manager at Hotel Gran Senyiur in Indonesia, Eduardo Queipo, has been appointed general manager.
Ramada Port Vila is independently owned, and was signed under the Wyndham Hotel Group early last year.
