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 hotel staff is very attentive and professional.
The view from the room on the beach, from the seventh floor, was absolutely breathtaking. We took advantage of a fabulous sunset.
The mornings from the balcony of the room, with a calm sea, are also quite extraordinary.
The showers have a white plastic coating, quite thick, quite exceptional, which makes them super pleasant. It's not tile. I have never seen this in any other hotel in the world.
The walls of the room have been recently repainted, the carpets are very clean and impeccable: no burnt cigarette butts, or traces of chewing gum, for example.
We also appreciated the bottles of mineral water in the fridge, and the tea provided.
The aquatonic course in the spa is a must.
In short, the service and amenities of the hotel are quite up to the price of the room, and the reputation of the hotel.

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.
