Ratua Dining
Vanuatu
Dining at Ratua connects the table directly with the island and surrounding waters. The resort describes a sourcing approach in which much of the food is grown, raised or caught within the local area, giving the menu a close relationship with Vanuatu. Meals form an important part of the stay, with an overwater pavilion and other settings allowing the landscape to remain present. The experience lends itself to a slower pace: time on the beach or water can give way to an unhurried meal, with the ingredients continuing the sense of place. Ratua Dining is best considered as part of a stay or a visit arranged with the private island in advance. Its appeal lies in the combination of local sourcing and a setting shaped by the sea.
