NEW CALEDONIA

Loyauty Islands - Ouvéa Island

Ouvéa belongs to Loyalty Islands and is one of the most beautiful atolls in the Pacific, with its white-sand beach extending for 25 km, caressed by crystal-clear, sparkling water of varying hues. Thirty-five km long and in some places less than 40 metres wide, with a total area of 132 km2, the island has a single road running north to south, sometimes along the endless beach planted with coconut palms that faces the lagoon and sometimes beside the intense blue of the open Pacific Ocean. The lagoon, with the exceptional clarity of its water, mirrors the majestic Lékiny cliffs and serves as a food reserve for the inhabitants.
