With a population of just under 3,000, Norsup is a small town on the island of Malakula in Vanuatu. The town is served by Norsup Airport, one of three airports on the island, but bureaucracy is a persistent headache for residents. The climate is tropical, with high temperatures and humidity year-round. Overall, Norsup offers a quiet, remote lifestyle, but may prove too isolated and administratively challenging for many. This town is best suited for those seeking a truly off-the-grid experience in the South Pacific.
