Lagoons and pine island
Although the destination may be far away, it’s more than worth the detour!
24,000km2 of lagoon, enough to dream about and indulge in all kinds of water sports in this immense and sublime pool…
An unspoilt natural environment home to over 3,000 species – a real lung of biodiversity! Fauna and flora to explore on foot, mountain bike or horseback. And why not also see it from above.
And to give you even more reasons to stay, the island is a real cultural melting pot. The Melanesians are proud of this blend of Franco-French modernity and the traditions of the tribes that still exist.
