A LAGOON AND MEN
Fashioned by the sea, the Loyalty Islands offer one of its most beautiful sanctuaries. Registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List, the New Caledonian lagoons, particularly that of Ouvéa, form one of the most varied, most vast, and best-preserved coral ecosystems on the planet. From the sky, the colour blue can be seen in every shade, from the deepest indigo to the purest turquoise, from the softest pastel to the most sparkling azure. At your feet lie kilometres of white-sand beaches with perfect curves. Beneath the surface of the crystal-clear lagoon, divers will marvel at the exceptional, multicoloured fauna, wisely managed by the inhabitants.
I take the plunge!
Activities around the lagoon
Magical forests,
legendary cliffs…
The Loyalty Islands exude a raw purity where nature verges on perfection. Beyond the usual postcard scenery, they abound in little hidden corners of paradise for anyone who knows how to look and leaves behind the beaten track... Round a bend in the heart of the forest, you will encounter the invisible spirits which populate the local myths. At the top of a cliff crowned with New Caledonian pines or in the depths of an unfathomable cave, you will conjure up the legendary warriors of long ago. You will scale breathtaking coral terraces to reach hidden and inaccessible beaches.
