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.

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.

The hotel is a dream, with houses and the pool in a beautiful tropical garden right between the beach and the cliffs of Lifou. Very good food and excellent bar, the capital of the island can be reached within few minutes, very friendly staff and a well-stocked shop at the reception. I was really happy and would immediately visit again; I wish the entire team of the hotel all the best during these difficult times in New Caledonia.
