Guide to Accommodation in New Caledonia
There's a good variety of accommodation in New Caledonia to choose from, with several beautiful boutique resorts on secluded beaches in the outer islands, large hotels in Noumea and several eco resorts on the main island of Grand Terre for exploring the countryside and coral reefs.
The following selection will help you find the perfect accommodation in New Caledonia from exclusive private island retreats in Noumea to budget huts in the exotic Loyalty Islands.
I do not recommend using booking engines like Booking.com or Kayak to book your holiday accommodation in New Caledonia. These global booking platforms have terrible customer service when things go wrong (and they do) and their rating structure is based mostly on which hotels pay them higher commissions to be better placed in their recommendations over those trying not to bow to this corporate pressure. We would always recommend sending an enquiry direct to the hotel via its website and go from there. There should be no difference in price, you'll get to converse with a real person and you'll be assisting the hotel that you've chosen for your holiday.
The following directory represents my favourite accommodations in New Caledonia over a range of price categories, locations and for both couples, families and travellers. Our directory features both the popular large beach hotels sold by most travel agents, as well as highlighting the smaller, lesser-known boutique style resorts around the islands for those looking for a little more peace and quiet.
