THE TERRACES Boutique Apartments
Port Vila, Vanuatu
OUR Thoughts on The Terraces Vanuatu
This Apartment-style property is now well established as one of Port Vila's top end boutique accommodation options The apartments are beautifully modern and very tastefully decorated. The Terraces Vanuatu is located right beside Mangoes Resort to the left of Mangoes as you face the lagoon. Like Mangoes, The Terraces is built on the top of the rise which overlooks Erakor Lagoon and the overwater bungalows of the Holiday Inn Resort below. The main buildings of the Holiday Inn are well off to the left and pretty well out of sight.
The Terraces' site slopes gently down from the road to the top of the lagoon escarpment. Reception is at the top of the Resort and the flood-lit tennis court is immediately behind Reception. The Resort Infinity-edge Swimming Pool, lawn and Gazebo are on the edge of the escarpment and the 3 Terrace-style accommodation blocks surround the pool and the tennis court. The whole Resort is set in mature tropical gardens and there is a spectacular view out over the lagoon from throughout the property.
There is an air-conditioned gym on site and an in-room massage service is available.
With a maximum of 16 accommodation units only The Terraces does not warrant a restaurant on site, but with full access and charge-back facility at Mangoes’ very good restaurant immediately next door, that almost qualifies as an on-site restaurant.
Included in the Tariff at The Terraces
● Daily Tropical Breakfast
● Complimentary Wifi throughout the resort.
With the Tropical Breakfast which is included in the tariff, guests may, if they choose, pay to upgrade their breakfast to a full cooked breakfast at Mangoes Restaurant next door.

Your Accommodation Options
The name of the resort is derived from the type of accommodation it offers. There are 3 individual accommodation blocks each featuring three or four 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedroom Terrace House-style Apartments. As is the case with all Terrace Houses, the units butt up against each other. All 1 and 2 bedroom units feature a very private patio complete with private plunge-pool and patio sun loungers set beside a cascading waterfall. It is hard to imagine a better place in Vanuatu to relax in the cool of the evening than being beside your own private pool, drink in hand, watching the sunset over the mountains in the distance and the Erakor Lagoon below. All rooms have air conditioning, tea / coffee making facilities, fridge, balcony, enormous bed, shower, in room safe, 32 inch TV with satellite, DVD player, Wifi, Bose iPod docking system, ironing facilities, hairdryer and high quality furniture and furnishings.
The 6 Terrace Studios are actually the second bedroom of the Terrace 2 Bedroom Apartments with the connecting door off the lounge in the 2 bedroom apartment locked off.

At 141m2, the Terrace 1 Bedroom Apartments occupy the centre of each accommodation block. The entire ground floor is taken up by the spacious lounge, kitchen and separate dining area. There is a floor to ceiling glass window and sliding door leading out to the sizeable patio which contains a private plunge pool to one side. The bedroom is upstairs and there is a small balcony off the bedroom. The large bathroom has a separate shower and features a fantastic free-standing “Cleopatra-style” stone bath. When you first look at the bath you immediately notice that there are no visible pipes and plumbing - that's because the bath fills with water cascading from a unique valve in the ceiling above - very romantic!

Getting To and from The Terraces Vanuatu
Airport transfers will be provided by air-conditioned mini-bus or private car as required/agreed and will be included in holiday package arrangements. The transfers are provided by a specialist transfer operator contracted to Terraces Apartments and they provide Terraces guests with a bottle of water, shell necklace and refresher towel as guests board their transfer vehicle.
Port Vila town is only a 10 minute walk away down the hill, but, as we do with guests staying at Mangoes Resort next door, we recommend the use of the local public transport travel-on-demand mini-bus transport system especially for the up-hill return journey from town.
