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.

The bed was comfy, the room clean, and very bright with a great view. The hotel staff were really lovely and really helpful. Opposite to Lemon Bay Beach which has a lovely atmosphere full of people every night. We booked a double room with sea view and private balcony as advertised in the pictures.

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

Guest review
We ate at the restaurant both nights we stayed at Tieti and were happy with the food on both occasions. The first night buffet was particularly good. We had a beach front bungalow which was very spacious and comfortable with a nice verandah looking onto the beach. Sound of the waves, very tranquil.
