The Best Kids' Clubs in Vanuatu + Top 5 Resorts for Babysitting

Erakor Island Resort is another fantastic family-friendly resort in Port Vila that has got you covered with their complimentary kids club.

Running from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, the club welcomes children aged four to 12 with a brilliant mix of activities that'll keep them entertained for hours. Think basket weaving, island adventure walks, local language lessons and even hermit crab racing (trust us, it's as fun as it sounds!).

There's also playground equipment scattered around for when the organised fun winds down.

The resort doesn't stop there. They host special event nights that kids absolutely love, including beach parties and pizza-and-movie evenings. It's a fantastic way for families to meet other guests whilst the children make new friends.

For little ones under four, the kids club isn't suitable. But don't worry, babysitting services are available with 24-hour advance booking.

Pro tip: Some family packages include babysitting, so it's worth checking the fine print when you book.

About the Resort

Erakor Island Resort offers something for everyone across its 43 rooms, from romantic honeymoon villas with private plunge pools to spacious family beach houses and two-bedroom options perfect for larger groups.

What we love most is how the resort seamlessly blends relaxation with cultural immersion. You'll find complimentary watersports, daily walks exploring the island's fascinating missionary history, and hands-on cultural activities like coconut harvesting, oil making and traditional sand drawing.

Whether you fancy joining a village visit, catching the vibrant "Melanesian Feast Night" entertainment, or simply strolling the walking track with a game of beach volleyball, this private island setting delivers that perfect balance of adventure and laid-back island vibes.

Iririki Island Resort & Spa's kids' club is designed with "fun and games for the little ones" in mind. The club operates from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm daily and is exclusively reserved for resort guests (so no crowds from day visitors).

What we love about the programme is its variety. Your children can dive into arts and crafts sessions, unleash their creativity with painting, explore the island through guided nature walks, or burn off energy with outdoor games. It's this perfect balance of creative and active pursuits that keeps different personalities engaged.

The best part? The kids' club is included in your accommodation rate, along with all the other resort facilities.

For those special evenings out, babysitting services are available for a fee. Just keep in mind that if you're planning a late night and need babysitting beyond 10 pm, there's an additional taxi fare for staff to consider.

About the Resort

This family-friendly resort offers nine accommodation styles from garden-nestled "Island Farés" to spectacular "Premium Overwater Farés". Kids love the two pools; the cascading Sunset Pool has a swim-up bar for parents, while the Infinity Pool offers stunning ocean views.

We're big fans of the complimentary water sports at Snorkeller's Cove. Kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and snorkelling gear are included, with excellent reef snorkelling right from the resort.

The activity programme sets Iririki apart with cultural village tours, guided snorkelling and sunset cruises with complimentary drinks and canapés. Azure Restaurant handles special occasions whilst Sunset Bar & Grill serves family meals. Tennis, table tennis, pool tables and two spa locations complete the offerings, plus unlimited complimentary ferry transfers.

If you're travelling with kids, Holiday Inn Resort Vanuatu has one of Port Vila's most impressive family setups. The star of the show? The kids club runs from 8 am to 9 pm, seven days a week, welcoming children aged three to 12 (and it's completely free for guests).

We're big fans of the club's daily programmes, which brilliantly mix Vanuatu's diverse culture with creative play. Your little ones can dive into traditional crafts like grass skirt making, basket weaving and jewellery making, while cultural activities include tok tok Bislama language lessons and traditional costume making.

The fun doesn't stop there. The programme also includes educational nature walks, pool swimming, outdoor games and treasure hunts that'll keep the kids entertained for hours. As the day winds down, evening entertainment kicks in with disco nights, movie and popcorn sessions, and storytelling that the children absolutely love.

Just a heads up: some activities like craft sessions and T-shirt painting come with a small extra fee, but most of the programme is included.

Parents craving some adult time can arrange babysitting through the kids club team (available seven days a week with advance booking). We particularly love the resort's kids stay and eat free policy, where children under 12 stay free when sharing their parents' room and eat free when dining with a paying adult.

About the Resort

Holiday Inn Resort Vanuatu is rebuilding after cyclones and earthquakes, creating an intimate, relaxed atmosphere that families find refreshing. With 64 operational rooms, the resort overlooks stunning Erakor Lagoon.

The pool area features waterfalls and splash features—perfect for family fun. While Verandah Restaurant renovates, meals are served in a cosy lobby bar space. Pool Bar continues serving wood-fired pizzas and poolside favourites we can't get enough of.

The day spa, fitness centre, water activities and casino remain operational. The dedicated team delivers warm hospitality in this beautiful lagoon setting, something we've experienced ourselves.

Warwick Le Lagon Resort & Spa offers a fun kids' club experience through their "Funtastik Kids Club," completely free of charge for all resort guests. The setup keeps the little ones entertained from morning till evening!

The club operates with scheduled activities throughout the day, giving your children plenty of structured fun whilst you enjoy some well-deserved relaxation time.

What we love about this setup is the variety. There's both an indoor kids' club area for when the weather doesn't cooperate and an outdoor playground for those perfect sunny days.

Most activities are included in your stay, though some special experiences may have optional charges. The resort's family-friendly policy really shines here too; children under 12 stay and eat for free, making it an excellent value for families.

From what we've experienced, having both indoor and outdoor spaces means the kids never get bored, regardless of the weather conditions!
