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.

Hotel Le Lagon offers accommodation just 100 metres from the Anse Vata Beach, Noumea.
Guest review
Thank you so much for your excellent service, especially for accommodating my colleague and me for 16 nights. It was truly a pleasure staying with you. We found the room very comfortable, and it was always well-organized and clean whenever we returned from our workshop sessions.
I was also pleased that I booked our stay through Booking.com, and I appreciated that the amount quoted at the time of booking was exactly the amount we paid upon arrival.
I would also like to express my gratitude to all the staff, including the housekeeping team and reception staff, for their friendly smiles, warm greetings, and professionalism throughout our stay.
We truly appreciate everything you did to make our stay enjoyable. Thank you once again for your outstanding hospitality.

Hilton Noumea La Promenade Residences is located on l’Anse Vata Bay in Nouméa. It overlooks the sea and coral reef, and features a fitness centre and a swimming pool (heated in winter months).
Guest review
The room was beautifully renovated, spacious and clean. The kitchen was well equipped and even had a laundry. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. The view of the bay was striking and the hotel is close to many restaurants and cafes. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We checked in at midnight and Loic could not have been more welcoming. In terms of room quality, this hotel is tremendous value when compared with the other resorts on offer.
