Along the beautiful sandy beach of Baie des Citrons, you’ll find shoreside places to stay with restaurants, bars and nightclubs nearby to keep you entertained at all hours. To fully immerse yourself in island life, venture further afield by staying with a local tribe for the night at a Kanak homestay.
If you’re looking for a lush welcome into married life or a super romantic resort, the overwater bungalows of Escapade Ilot Maitre are only a short boat ride away. For a family escape filled with kids’ club and endless other activities, Le Meridien Noumea has suites that easily squeeze everyone in or try one of the cost-effective hotels near Anse Vata Beach like Hotel Le Lagon Noumea or Hotel Beaurivage.
Sneak in a round of golf at the Sheraton New Caledonia Deva Spa and Golf Resort or simply treat yourself to some guilt-free pampering, there’s plenty to do and see around Noumea.
There’s plenty to do in sunny Noumea. Visit the busy Moselle Market and get your fruit fix, hike up Ouen Toro Hill for a 360 view of the city or feast on New Caledonian oysters by the water. Fall in love with the eclectic Noumea if only for a few days.
If you fancy hopping islands for the day, take a water taxi across to Duck Island or the 2-hour ferry over to The Isle of Pines and have yourself a pretty picnic in between snorkels and sun lounging. For those that like their relaxing to be mixed with a bit of learning, take a guided tour of the Blue River National Park to gain an insight into the flora and fauna of New Caledonia. To explore the sea life that surrounds the city, jump on one of the many boating adventures for the chance to see dolphins and loggerhead turtles as you cruise around Noumea’s neighbouring islands.
For dinner feast on New Caledonian oysters by the water at Le Roof, test out your French ordering skills at Creperie Le Rocher or grab the tastiest takeaway the island has to offer at the Vietnamese grocer, Chez Florence.
