We’ve put together some of our favourite destinations with Overwater accommodations.
 

New Caledonia: L’Escapade Island Resort

Our closest South Pacific neighbour from Australia, New Caledonia is only a 2hr flight from Brisbane. Upon arrival in Noumea, you will notice the distinctive French influence complemented with a friendly Melanesian charm resulting in a rich, unique culture & delicious cuisine! New Caledonia is also spoiled with stunning scenery from the white sand beaches & blue lagoons in their Loyalty Islands (giving Bora Bora a run for its money!) to the rugged mountain peaks & wide open planes traversed by Stockmen - New Caledonia’s version of a Texan Cowboy! Take advantage of stunning views back to the Noumea coastline & lagoon with a stay at L’Escapade Island Resort located on the small islet, Îlot Maître. Only a short 20 min boat trip from Port Morselle in Noumea, the resort is the only overwater accommodation type in New Caledonia and the closest to Australia!
 

Vanuatu: Holiday Inn Resort

Looking for a little romance but also don’t want to be stuck in a hotel room all day? Vanuatu has so many fantastic experiences from witnessing a stunning live volcano in Tanna, discovering World War 2 History in Espiritu Santo or swimming in natural rock pools at the Mele Cascades.
