Are you looking for a vacation destination that is rightfully breathtaking? Fancy somewhere with a beach and sailing opportunities, plus the cuisine and ambience of a metropolitan city. A perfect holiday that offers all of this is a trip to the French settlement of New Caledonia, located between Australia and Fiji.

As New Caledonia is situated farther south than many of the other islands of the South Pacific, its climate benefits from southeast trade winds, plenty of sun, and balmy weather. If a sailing holiday is what you are looking for, New Caledonia is located in a part of the Pacific that has the largest coral lagoon in the world. Sailing charters are freely available and with the help of the trade winds you can sail out of the capital city of Noumea along the coastal line, past the many small islands that dot the ocean around the New Caledonia. There are also plenty of other outdoor activites such as scuba diving, snorkeling, horseback riding, canoeing, and kayaking.

If you were hoping for a gourmet holiday, New Caledonia has heaps to offer. New Caledonia’s capital, Noumea, widely known as the Paris of the Pacific. Noumea boasts fine gourmet French food and wine along with the other benefits of a active cosmo town. You can find some of the South Pacific’s nicest restaurants here. Claimed by France in 1853, New Caledonia has a well-defined French influence when it comes to food and wine.

Noumea has well over hundred restaurants, ranging from sidewalk cafes to high-class bistros. French cuisine is easy to come by, but other alternatives include Indonesian, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and African food. Seafood is a specialty of the Island, including spiny lobster, prawns, crab, and mangrove oysters. One of New Caledonia’s national dishes is Bougna, which is fish or chicken, combined with sweet potatoes and bananas wrapped in banana leaves and then grilled covered in sand on hot stones. For the adventurous traveler on a gastronome vacation, you can sample a dish favourite with the locals, bat stew.

New Caledonia is the holiday destination you want to be: a sailing holiday, a gourmet holiday, or a time to just relax on the beaches.
