Sola is the capital of the Tolba Province of Vanuatu and is located on the east coast of Vanua Lava, the largest of Vanuatu's northernmost islands. As the political and economic center of Tolba Province, Sola attracts visitors with its pristine natural beauty and unique cultural traditions.
Surrounded by lush tropical rainforest and crystal clear waters, Sola is home to the active volcano Mount Suretamate and the famous Sola Bay. The area is rich in marine life and is ideal for diving and eco-tourism.
The inhabitants rely heavily on agriculture, fishing and handicrafts for their livelihood, with traditional dances and carvings preserving the original features of Melanesian culture. The infrastructure of Sola is relatively simple and the pace of life is slow, reflecting the simplicity of the South Pacific islands.
Visitors can explore the island's volcanic hot springs, waterfalls and traditional villages, and experience the unique ritual of the Naghol (land dive). Sola Airport is connected to the capital city of Port Vila and offers adventure travelers a gateway to untouched nature.
