Isle of Pines

At twenty-minute flight south of Noumea, this island concentrates the beauties of the Pacific. Beginning with a relaxed way of life, the smile on the local people’s faces and their talent to never rush the time. “A quoi bon le compter, il ne s’arrêtera jamais” (“Why measure the time, it will never end”), they seem to try to help us understand.

Virgin and breathtaking nature exposes to our sight deserted beaches, lined with small trails shaded by banyan trees and columnar pines.

Dominated by the peak Nga, Ile des Pins (the Isle of Pines) emerges from the lagoon, listed among the World Heritage Sites by Unesco, whose waters are of a blue that almost hurts the eyes. The natural pool of baie d’Oro (the Oro Bay) is unquestionably the most accurate illustration.

A Relaxed Way of Life
No stress, no night life, a relaxed pace and with time of little significance … that’s island life, island time !
Forget your usual ways and the demands of a busy existence, let yourself be part of an unhurried world, surrounded by natural beauty – your stay will be refreshing and memorable.
To be kind to yourself and make the most of Isle of Pines, you should consider staying at least 3 days.

If you like discovering nature, taking long walks, swimming, snorkelling, diving, meeting local people or simply lying on magnificent, deserted, white sand beaches, then you could easily spend 5 to 10 days here and still find plenty to do.
