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.

Great price and location. It has used a lot of recycled wood through out the building. Friendly and helpful staff.

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.
Located in Noumea, 2.2 km from Baie Des Citrons Beach, Gondwana City Art provides air-conditioned rooms and a garden.
Guest review
We got upgraded to Gondwana Green so our review scores are based on the experience we had. But some things are similar like breakfast, staff, location (since City Art and Green share the same), and they were all great. We walked to all the sights easily (Maison Célières, Musee de la ville, place des cocotiers, marche, port etc.), the staff helped us with taxi arrangements to Magenta airport (somehow arrangements when we were there were quoted cheaper than when enquired via messages, not sure if it was a miscommunication), breakfast as everyone who had it had shared: tasty, hearty, generous and they saw we were in a hurry, they even gave us takeaway bags to pack our viennoiseries.

Offering a year-round outdoor pool and stunning sea views, Nouvata is located on Anse Vata bay, 5 km from the centre of Noumea.
Guest review
The hotel has the best location, in the center of Noumea, just a little walk from amazing beaches, where you can snorkel. Our room was big, could fit 10 people in it and the view was amazing. The room was well cleaned, it looks a little old but I think it's just the design.
