A White Sand Paradise
France’s best-kept hideaway is located directly between Fiji & Australia. It’s the island called New Caledonia & it’s a relaxing bliss. New Caledonia has a finer climate than most islands thanks to the current trade winds which reserve it warm yet not overly hot all year. The ocean water is balmy enough for water sports all year long.
If people are searching for French lifestyle and a rural twist to one’s island break, people will want to set your sights on Noumea. Explored through a French Navel agent in the 1800’s, Noumea has been everything starting with a trade dock to a military base in it’s past. Nowadays it is a magnificent island to have comfortable strolls during the arvos or evenings.
Besides fine dining & contemporary shopping, there are also several other attractions that you do not want to miss out throughout your vacation. The Museum of New Caledonia launched in the 1970’s and focuses at the culture and archaeology of the area. The funeral masks, totems & jewelry are fine.
You also do not wish to ignore quite a unique site: a Gothic place of worship located in the Pacific! St. Joseph Cathedral was constructed in 1887 & took ten years to accomplish.
There is so much to experience and do in Noumea that one could want to look into some of the various favourite guided tours. Ask about them in your hotel.
Finally, you should want to gather in the evening in The Place des Cocotiers in the heart of Noumea. This trendy gathering spot has gardens, live music & markets.
Noumea is beautiful for the Urbanite but if visitors would rather prefer something else more calming or maybe more adventurous, then the Isle of Pines should be your destination. Placed about fifty miles southeast of Noumea, The Isle of Pines seems as though time has blanked out it totally.
Seeking for white sand shores and palm trees? This is the island to visit. There are miles of clean white sand & swaying palm trees.
Isle of Pines is ideal location for the water fanatic. From glass underlying boats to scuba diving, it is all here. This place is also an awesome area to have a stab at kite surfing or kayaking.
Any of the hotels at New Caledonia are currently modern and present all the amenities you could ask for in a luxury retreat. If people are feeling adventurous, the local grub is primarily seafood based & it is outstanding.
For your next island holiday, New Caledonia can’t be beaten as the paradise destination.
