Vanuatu

Vanuatu rises from the South Pacific in a symphony of fire and water - a chain of islands where ancient forces still breathe beneath the earth. Along black-sand shores, artisans carve canoes from towering breadfruit trees, weaving strength and spirit into every curve of wood.

In villages, pandanus leaves are braided into mats and baskets, pigments of volcanic ash and coral lime colour masks that tell stories of ancestors and the sea. Drums echo through the forests, rhythms passed down through generations, carrying the heartbeat of a people bound to both land and ocean.

From the slopes of Mount Yasur to the calm lagoons of Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu’s craftsmanship is elemental - born of fire, wind, and tide, and alive with the pulse of the islands.
