About Buluana
Buluana is a digital home dedicated to the people, culture, and spirit of Penama Province, Vanuatu. Our province is made up of three unique islands — Ambae, Maewo, and Pentecost — each blessed with natural beauty, deep traditions, and inspiring leaders.
Our Purpose
Buluana was created to celebrate who we are, share our stories, and connect our people. Here, you will find the traditions that define us, the leaders who inspire us, the islands that sustain us, and the businesses that drive our future.
Our Culture
Penama is known around the world for traditions such as Nagol (Land Diving) on Pentecost, the artistry of Sand Drawing on Ambae, and the symbolic power of the Red Mat from Maewo. These customs are not only heritage but also living expressions of our identity.
Our Leaders
From Father Walter Lini, the Father of Independence, to many others who have served as politicians, professionals, and community figures, Penama has always produced leaders who carry the vision of unity, progress, and kastom.
Our Future
Buluana also highlights opportunities in tourism, kava, ICT, transport, and local enterprises. By connecting tradition with innovation, we aim to showcase the strength and potential of Penama’s people.
