Stay
Imagine stepping out of a bungalow straight onto talcum-soft sand. Now make that a reality at Paradis d’Ouvéa. Set among gardens on an atoll boasting a UNESCO World Heritage-listed lagoon, this cluster of bungalows features high ceilings, polished wooden floors and verandas.
With the island’s main beach spanning more than two-thirds of Ouvéa’s length, stray coconuts and the occasional sea creature represent the only competition for a prime position by the Pacific. When you’re not playing castaway, survey caves, visit the shark nursery and snorkel with manta rays. But don’t get too chummy with the wildlife, though – you can’t beat a dinner of lobster plucked fresh from the sea.
