Imaio Cultural Village

Welcome to Imaio Cultural Village, nestled in the south east of Tanna Island,  where imaio means "my home," and that is exactly how we want you to feel. We offer an intimate, hands-on journey into authentic Tannese culture: traditional dance, face painting, fire-making, and a taste of food cooked over an open flame.
