A lush, green island surrounded by an emerald lagoon, New Caledonia offers adventure with style.
The colorful tropical forests, beautiful waterfalls and green valleys form a beautiful backdrop to the white sand beaches and luxurious accommodations. Whether you stay in a five-star resort or a traditional hut on the beach, you will find that the best of life surrounds you.
Kick off your shoes and comb the beach for a little fun. On this island you can enjoy every water activity from kayaking to big game fishing. Take a yacht trip out to watch the whales or smoothly glide over the reefs in a glass bottom boat. Head underwater for an ocean walk and then relax under a grove of palm trees.
Visit Noumea, a bit of France in the South Pacific. Noumea is a beautiful garden city that successfully blends the best of modern life with nature. Stroll along the Place des Cocotiers where old colonial houses blend with contemporary architecture. Sit in an outside café and enjoy world-class cuisine in paradise.
You will find that New Caledonia is the perfect blend of relaxation and luxury. Let yourself be pampered with beauty, style and hospitality.
