Aside from being home to the world’s largest lagoon and second-longest double-barrier coral reef, New Caledonia also features a wealth of snaking shorelines and piercing blue waters. The entire territory consists of the main island of Grand Terre, the Loyalty Islands, the Isle of Pines and various sparsely-populated islands. Many tour groups provide diving excursions to the island’s UNESCO World Heritage coral-laden lagoon, where you’ll come face-to-face with the likes of butterfly fish, parrot fish and many more. A number of shipwrecks also line the barrier reef, most famously by the Amedee Lighthouse. Hikers should explore the Parc Rivière Bleu in the Yaté region south of Noumea, which features a variety of bird species, dense rainforest and enormous kaori trees. Inside, you’ll be able to choose from a range of walks lasting from 30 minutes up to six hours. Hotels with picturesque countryside or ocean views can be found in most parts of New Caledonia, particularly in capital city Noumea. Self-catering options are also available, with a small number of apartments and guest houses on offer.

The bed was comfy, the room clean, and very bright with a great view. The hotel staff were really lovely and really helpful. Opposite to Lemon Bay Beach which has a lovely atmosphere full of people every night. We booked a double room with sea view and private balcony as advertised in the pictures.

Guest review
The room was gorgeous and very big! They had everything I needed and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The staff at the reception was so extremely nice and caring. He made sure we were all set. We didn’t have a car so he was worried and organise transportation for us from the hotel to the bus stop the next day.

Guest review
I absolutely loved staying at this hotel!
The staff were so warm and friendly, and they always took the time to answer my questions and find out information for me. I felt like they went above and beyond to serve me, which was so lovely.
I was even upgraded to a better room before my arrival!
I loved the location and all the artworks around the hotel.
The breakfast was delicious and in a beautiful space in the garden.
I also really appreciated the free water fountain in the corridor and having a fridge in the room.
I would stay here again if I come back to Noumea :)

Offering an outdoor pool, Hotel Tieti is situated in Poindimié. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar. Free private parking and free WiFi are available.
Guest review
We ate at the restaurant both nights we stayed at Tieti and were happy with the food on both occasions. The first night buffet was particularly good. We had a beach front bungalow which was very spacious and comfortable with a nice verandah looking onto the beach. Sound of the waves, very tranquil.

Guest review
Even though we arrived late at night, the staff was very accommodating.
We were too sad that we had to leave early the next morning and didn't have time to experience the wonders of our surroundings.
The Stanley Noumea is located on the water’s edge in the heart of Sainte Marie Bay. The outdoor swimming pool is surrounded by sun loungers and offers beautiful lagoon views.
Guest review
Amazing clear water in the marine reserve that offered an abundance of sea life! Breakfast was great.
Refurbished in 2018 and just 200 metres from the beach, Ramada Hotel & Suites by Wyndham Noumea features a palm-fringed swimming pool and a revolving restaurant with panoramic views.
Guest review
Staff were great! Friendly, funny and helpful.
The revolving restaurant was a highlight, and reasonably priced. Steaks cooked to perfection, and unlimited fries!
The sports bar was good for a few afternoon cocktails.
