I first heard of Village Vacances after interviewing Simon some time ago, where he shared details surrounding his stay along with his adventures exploring Ile a Vache. Left immediately intrigued, I began to wonder why this paradise isnāt more prominently known. Why was this relatively untouched island hardly ever mentioned in the mediaās incessant coverage of Haiti? And more importantly, how could I get myself there? Would it be possible for me, a solo female traveler to navigate there safely on my own?Lucky for me, the answer was yes ā all it would require was for me to take a bus, taxi, then boat to get there due to the islandās remoteness. Ā My journey into Ile a Vache would require a 3.5 hour bus ride from Port au Prince to Les Cayes, a 20 minute taxi ride from the Les Cayes bus station to port, followed by a 45 minute scenic boat ride onto the island. But as the saying goes, fortune favors the brave. Once I finally arrived, I was left speechless. Not just by the islandās beauty, but the resortās simple, care-free and peaceful flare. And although it was far distance to travel to, Ile a Vache was hands down the most restful and beautiful region I visited during my stay within the country. Due to its isolation, the island was also sparsely developed allowing me to fully appreciate the natural landscapes, completely undisturbed from industrialization ā a rare feat in the Caribbean indeed. read more
