Isle of Pines Relaxation destination

Upi Bay, in the southeast of the island, invites you to a traditional outrigger canoe ride through clear waters, bordered by coral rocks.

Further north, Oro Bay and its natural pool offer a unique snorkeling experience in a preserved environment or a relaxing break in the shade of columnar pines.

From Saint-Joseph Bay, embark on a nautical safari where turtles and manta rays await you. And it’s not uncommon to share the route with a few dolphins.

Ste Maurice Bay, nearby, is famous for its statue surrounded by totems, symbolizing the first mass on the island.

On the road to Vao, make a stop at Oumagne Cave, also known as Queen Hortense’s Cave. This iconic site pays tribute to the first Melanesian woman who mastered the French language. Amidst lush vegetation, the cave reveals its giant stalactites and its guardians, the bats.

In the south of the island, Kanuméra Bay boasts fine white sand bordering turquoise, transparent waters perfect for discovering colourful fish and corals.

Just a few steps away is Kuto Bay. As the island’s arrival point by boat, the Betico, you can enjoy delicious lobsters with a breathtaking view of the sea.

During your walks, you’ll likely spot Brosse Islet, a tiny deserted island characterized by its forest of columnar pines. The perfect spot to play Robinson Crusoe for a day!

During your stay, be sure to savour bulimes, local snails found only in Melanesia, and sip a cocktail while watching the sunset on one of the island’s paradise beaches.

Whether with family or on a getaway to the Isle of Pines, welcome to Kunié, the island closest to paradise.
