Land prices have been increasing steadily in Vanuatu over the last decade, making real estate investments highly attractive. Vanuatu is currently one of the best bets for those people in the "civilized" world who are dreaming of escaping from the rat race into the tropical paradises of the South Pacific.

Western concepts of land ownership are hardly accurate. In most countries governments actually lease the land to individuals and companies but they call the lease payments "property taxes." If the "owner" fails to pay whatever taxes are assessed on the property, the government can and does confiscate the land.

By contrast, in Vanuatu, the government can't take the land from the indigenous people under any circumstances. But the government can and does act as an efficient and fair mediator between custom land owners and foreign investors.

The mere fact that real estate prices have been rising rapidly in Vanuatu proves their system works and works well.

There is a reasonable opportunity to make money by investing in Vanuatu, but most people who invest in waterfront property in Vanuatu are seeking the relaxed, friendly, natural atmosphere of this tropical South Pacific country.

Successful investors are often international business people who wish to establish a foreign residency for tax purposes, sport fishers, SCUBA divers, or cruising yachts who come for a holiday fall in love with the place and decide to settle down.
