Aside from being home to the world’s largest lagoon and second-longest double-barrier coral reef, New Caledonia also features a wealth of snaking shorelines and piercing blue waters. The entire territory consists of the main island of Grand Terre, the Loyalty Islands, the Isle of Pines and various sparsely-populated islands. Many tour groups provide diving excursions to the island’s UNESCO World Heritage coral-laden lagoon, where you’ll come face-to-face with the likes of butterfly fish, parrot fish and many more. A number of shipwrecks also line the barrier reef, most famously by the Amedee Lighthouse. Hikers should explore the Parc Rivière Bleu in the Yaté region south of Noumea, which features a variety of bird species, dense rainforest and enormous kaori trees. Inside, you’ll be able to choose from a range of walks lasting from 30 minutes up to six hours. Hotels with picturesque countryside or ocean views can be found in most parts of New Caledonia, particularly in capital city Noumea. Self-catering options are also available, with a small number of apartments and guest houses on offer.

Guest review
The hotel staff is very attentive and professional.
The view from the room on the beach, from the seventh floor, was absolutely breathtaking. We took advantage of a fabulous sunset.
The mornings from the balcony of the room, with a calm sea, are also quite extraordinary.
The showers have a white plastic coating, quite thick, quite exceptional, which makes them super pleasant. It's not tile. I have never seen this in any other hotel in the world.
The walls of the room have been recently repainted, the carpets are very clean and impeccable: no burnt cigarette butts, or traces of chewing gum, for example.
We also appreciated the bottles of mineral water in the fridge, and the tea provided.
The aquatonic course in the spa is a must.
In short, the service and amenities of the hotel are quite up to the price of the room, and the reputation of the hotel.

Guest review
The room was gorgeous and very big! They had everything I needed and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The staff at the reception was so extremely nice and caring. He made sure we were all set. We didn’t have a car so he was worried and organise transportation for us from the hotel to the bus stop the next day.
Located in Noumea, 2.2 km from Baie Des Citrons Beach, Gondwana City Art provides air-conditioned rooms and a garden.
Guest review
We got upgraded to Gondwana Green so our review scores are based on the experience we had. But some things are similar like breakfast, staff, location (since City Art and Green share the same), and they were all great. We walked to all the sights easily (Maison Célières, Musee de la ville, place des cocotiers, marche, port etc.), the staff helped us with taxi arrangements to Magenta airport (somehow arrangements when we were there were quoted cheaper than when enquired via messages, not sure if it was a miscommunication), breakfast as everyone who had it had shared: tasty, hearty, generous and they saw we were in a hurry, they even gave us takeaway bags to pack our viennoiseries.

Staff were great! Friendly, funny and helpful.
The revolving restaurant was a highlight, and reasonably priced. Steaks cooked to perfection, and unlimited fries!

Guest review
The hotel is a dream, with houses and the pool in a beautiful tropical garden right between the beach and the cliffs of Lifou. Very good food and excellent bar, the capital of the island can be reached within few minutes, very friendly staff and a well-stocked shop at the reception. I was really happy and would immediately visit again; I wish the entire team of the hotel all the best during these difficult times in New Caledonia.

Guest review
The hotel has the best location, in the center of Noumea, just a little walk from amazing beaches, where you can snorkel. Our room was big, could fit 10 people in it and the view was amazing. The room was well cleaned, it looks a little old but I think it's just the design.
