French territory located about 17,000 kilometres from the mainland, New Caledonia stretches out in a string of islands and islets in the heart of the Pacific Ocean and the Coral Sea. World-renowned and classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its lagoons and coral reefs, among the largest in the world, immerse visitors in a paradisiacal setting. Turquoise waters, exceptional underwater landscapes, wild vegetation and Kanak culture all contribute to the authenticity of this ideal destination for a sunny vacation.
