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.

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
This Hilton is newly renovated so the rooms are spacious, stylish and have everything you need. The staff are great and very helpful. The sea view was stunning and we’d return back next time we’re in Nouméa. The location is perfect - it’s in a nice beach area of Nouméa, with shops immediately below, and a quick stroll to more restaurants. Definitely eat at La Gavotte which is not far away - super fresh authentic galettes.

Hotel Hibiscus has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Koné.
Guest review
Although on the main road the rooms are set around courtyard and pool and very quiet. The rock garden is spectacular, as are the Polynesian artefacts in the public spaces. Our room with small patio in front looked out to the garden. The restaurant is quite good.

What I liked about the hotel is the interaction with the local people. It offers local touch in the reception; the hotel had a lovely shop which visitors can buy locally sourced/crafted gifts. Common area had an inviting atmosphere. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful to recommend activities in Koumak.

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.
