The Isle of Pines
Formerly a penal colony, now a paradise, nobody leaves indifferent from their experience on the Isle of Pines.
A stunning natural setting; where fine white sand dissolves endlessly into a turquoise lagoon and time stands still. The Oro, Kuto and Kanumera Bays offer an astonishing spectacle of beauty and harmony. In an island paradise that feels surprisingly untouched you can take long walks, swim, snorkel, dive, meet the local people, or simply lay on white sand beaches lapped by sapphire waters. It’s not called the "Jewel of the Pacific" for nothing! See our New Caledonia travel packages on our deals site, our call 1800 800 722.
