Chief Roi Mata’s Domain, located just north of Port Vila, Vanuatu, was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in July 2008, marking a significant moment for the country. This site represents a pivotal chapter in Vanuatu's history, as it is associated with the legendary figure of Chief Roi Mata, a leader who brought peace and unity to the region's warring and cannibalistic tribes during ancient times. His legacy is still honored and remembered across Vanuatu’s middle and southern islands. The domain encompasses three key sites: his residence at Mangaas, his place of death on the island of Lelepa, and his burial site on the island of Artok. Artok, often referred to as "Hat Island" due to its distinct shape, offers stunning views along with cultural and historical significance. Visitors to the area can explore beautiful beaches, enjoy the natural beauty of the harbor, and gain insight into Vanuatu's ancient traditions. The site preserves the memory of a powerful leader whose peaceful influence shaped the communities, bringing about an unprecedented unity among the tribes.
