Iya Cottage

Heading into the Caledonian Great South, beside a small cove and in a coconut grove, the Iya guesthouse brings together bungalows for two to four guests, with an architecture echoing traditional kanak huts. All look out over the lagoon, with a private terrace and bathroom. Marie-Rosaire, manager, head cook and hostess, brings the restaurant-bar to life around local specialties and seafood. The outdoor panoramic terrace is well suited to breakfasts and end-of-day snacks. For travellers in camping mode, a pitch area is laid out nearby, complementing the offer on site. Book your stay. You can go snorkelling off the beach or enjoy a picnic on the private beach for a fee. Enquire at reception if you're interested in visiting the natural swimming pool or cave.
