The Vanuatu holiday calendar at a glance

Vanuatu observes 14 nationwide public holidays each year. Every holiday applies nationwide, so there are no regional days to track. 11 keep the same date every year, such as New Year's Day, Father Walter Lini Day and 9 others. The other 3 move from year to year — Good Friday, Easter Monday and Ascension Day — so check the date before you plan. In 2026, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Labour Day and 3 others land on a Monday or Friday, giving a three-day weekend with no leave needed.
