Koukaia is a small coastal town in Vanuatu's Sanma Province, located on the southeast coast of the main island of Espiritu Santo, about 30 kilometers from the provincial capital Luganville. Known for its pristine natural beauty and laid-back pace of life, it is a hidden destination for diving and eco-tourism with its crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches and surrounding rainforest. The traditional Bislama culture is preserved around the town, with residents mostly engaged in fishing and small-scale farming, while relying on Santo Island's World War II historical sites (such as the US Army's Bryans Airfield site) to attract history buffs. As one of Vanuatu's many underdeveloped towns, Kwakea displays the untouched charm of a South Pacific island for travelers looking for a blend of tranquility and nature.
