Part of New Caledonia’s South Province, Isle de Pins sets amid some of the most beautiful underwater coral landscapes that has literally no parallel in the world. New Caledonia is home to world’s largest carol lagoon.  

The small island quite small, measuring only 13 km by 15 km was discovered by Capt. James Cook some two centuries ago on his second voyage to New Zealand. Transfixed by the huge pine trees and crystal clear waters, he named it ‘Isla des Pins’ or the Island of the Pines.  

Though, the island lacks the usual larger hotels that dots almost every tropical island in the world, but that doesn’t stop any visitors from coming here. Home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the whole of south pacific region, it is easily accessible from the mainland both via sea and air.
