Highlights
Noumea is a beautiful city with several picturesque marinas and bays, a large port receiving overseas cruise ships and the twin beach suburbs of Citron Bay and Anse Vata which has the majority of tourist accommodation. The chic Latin Quarter in downtown Noumea has lively restaurants and clubs whilst the more modern beach suburbs has luxury waterfront apartments, several casinos and plenty of watersports in its lagoon, with a couple of stunning uninhabited islands offshore with gorgeous beaches and snorkelling reefs.
Travel Info
Noumea is easy to get around with decent public buses and rather more expensive taxis. There is a small ferry serving Escapade Island every half hour and water taxis can be hired to visit other offshore islands. Several day cruises offer tours of the lagoon, snorkelling in outer reefs and picnics on uninhabited islands. The domestic airport of Magenta is located ten minutes from the city and has regular flights to the outer islands.
Accommodation
The majority of tourist accommodation in Noumea is in multi-storey hotels across the road from La Promenade and the beach at Anse Vata or Citron Bay.
