Fulari is the capital of the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu, Shefa Province, located on the west coast of Shefa Island. As the administrative and economic center of the province, Fulari is known for its tranquil seaside scenery and traditional Melanesian culture. Surrounded by lush rainforests and coral reefs, the town is an ideal destination for experiencing natural ecology and diving activities.
The local people rely mainly on agriculture, fishing and small-scale tourism for their livelihoods and maintain a simple village lifestyle. There are a number of traditional villages scattered around Fulaari where visitors can participate in cultural activities such as kava ceremonies, handicrafts and experience Vanuatu's unique "nakamal" (traditional chieftaincy) system of community governance.
Fulari is close to Vanuatu's famous dive sites such as the SSS President Coolidge shipwreck. Land-based attractions include Matwi Volcanic Lake and Lopevi Falls, while serving as a gateway to the volcanic island of Ambrym.
