 The Espiritu
Santo Culture Night:
 This is our special night! Espiritu Santo
(meaning home to the spirits of the Saints) is
the largest and most stunning in so many ways of
all the islands in the magnificent Vanuatu
island chain.
During WW2 James A Michener, then a lieutenant
in the US army was posted here, so overwhelmed
by the islands beauty he wrote the legendary
Tales of the South Pacific. It’s hard to imagine
100,000 allied troops were stationed here during
the course of the war!
Through out all of this, villages in Santo have
preserved their culture and a traditional way of
life has remained strong. The pride and strength
of these beautiful noble people is admired by
many.
Tonight we wish to give you a taste of our rich
culture... The Maralava Dancers dressed in their
colourful costumes and painted bodies will
present you with a fantastic display of their
own tribal dances and explain there complex
meaning. You will then be spoilt by the
wonderful Deco ladies who have prepared you a
meal on their own home wood fires. The flavours
will speak for them selves. Do not hesitate to
ask as to what they have lovingly prepared for
you...
After indulging your taste buds you’ll have
plenty of energy to dance to the traditional
String Band... Swing it with the staff...
Our Local feast of island vegetables, salads and
fruits accompanied by grilled chicken, fresh
fish, and delicious BBQ Santo steak’s plus
entertainment is only 2000vt per person. People
flock from all other resorts to witness the
spectacle.
