Malekula is the second largest island and the most diverse, culturally and linguistically, with over thirty distinct languages spoken. The names given to the primary cultural groups, Small Nambas and more famous Big Nambas is a function of the size of the leaf worn as a penis sheath, or nambas. Sandalwood was absent and thus the island attracted little interest from the essentially ruthless sea traders of the time. Because of this, an the reputation of the inhabitants, Malekula's megalithic cultural heritage has been left intact.

The inhabitants of Malekula are now free to share their lives with the outside world while retaining their unique traditions. The villagers are exceptionally friendly and enjoy sharing their proud heritage with visitors.
