    Located somewhere in the middle of the South Pacific, off the coast of New Caledonia and far from the most popular tourist routes, lie three hidden pearls of pristine beauty, three islands of legend and tradition. The islands of Lifou, Maré and Ouvéa (Indigenous names: Drehu, Nengone and Iaaï) make up the Loyalty Islands, a trio of islands situated roughly 190km to the east of Grand Terre, the largest of New Caledonia’s islands.

      West Coast

      The West Coast of the mainland (Grande Terre) shows off a great variety of scenery from its northern tip down to the area surrounding Nouméa. Characterised by both large spaces favouring cattle farming and a lagoon of stunning beauty, the West Coast is also host to a rich cultural heritage.

      East coast

      The central mountain range of the Mainland (Grande Terre) is a natural boundary, overlooking the very different faces of the East and West Coasts. Exposed to strong winds and therefore more humid, the eastern coast offers scenery with sumptuous flora. With a population of largely Melanesian origin, the East Coast has also retained a particularly charming flavour of authenticity.

      Great South

      The Great South, comprising the Mont-Dore and Yaté municipalities, is the most symbolic region for New Caledonia’s three main colours: blue, green and red. From the rainforest to the mining lands there are a thousand shades of green, while the ocean offers a dazzling palette of blues. But if one colour dominates the Great South, it is the specific red of its ground.
