|  |  |  |  |  |  | New Caledonia is surrounded by a lagoon, and the second largest coral barrier reef in the world. The islands are located about 1500 kms from Australia, 1800 kms from New Zealand.
New Caledonia is composed of a group of islands : the main island, Loyalty Islands, Isle of Pines, Belep and a myriad of small islands. All the outer islands of New Caledonia are surrounded by reefs. The reefs create individual lagoons which lap against beautiful beaches. What a perfect anchorage for your charter yacht.
Cooled by the Pacific Ocean and the trade winds, New Caledonia enjoys a soft, sunny climate. From the central mountain range to the warm tropical waters you will discover flora and fauna which people come from all over the world to discover.
In harmony with the Melanesian culture, the European people have brought French style and elegance to New Caledonia. This ambience is described by many as a taste of France in the South Pacific.
