Lifou Island: A Pacific Paradise

Lifou Island is the largest of the Loyalty Islands in New Caledonia, offering visitors a glimpse of untouched Pacific beauty. This coral atoll boasts pristine white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters and stunning limestone caves that make it a perfect destination for nature lovers. Visitors can explore vanilla plantations, dive among vibrant coral reefs, or visit traditional Melanesian villages to experience local Kanak culture. The island's natural wonders include the impressive Notre Dame de Lourdes church, perched on a cliff with panoramic views, and the natural pools at Jinek Bay. Each year, the island hosts the Loyalty Islands Festival, celebrating local traditions with music, dance and food. While Lifou is a cruise ship port of call, visitors can also travel by ferry from Noumea, New Caledonia's capital, making it accessible for day trips or longer stays. From Lifou, ferry connections also allow exploration of nearby Mare and Ouvea islands, completing the Loyalty Islands experience.

Mare Island: Venice's Peaceful Retreat

Mare Island, one of Venice's most tranquil islands in the Venetian Lagoon, offers a refreshing escape from the bustling crowds of the main city. This charming island is known for its colourful houses, artisan glass workshops, and laid-back atmosphere. Visitors can explore the historic Church of Santa Maria e San Donato with its remarkable 12th-century Byzantine mosaics, or wander through the picturesque streets lined with small shops and cafés. The island is famous for its traditional lacemaking, with the Lace Museum showcasing this delicate craft that has been practised here for centuries. From Venice's main port, travellers can easily catch ferries to other islands in the lagoon including Burano and Torcello, or venture further to destinations along the Adriatic coast such as Pula in Croatia and Corfu in Greece. The island comes alive during the annual Vogalonga rowing event in May, when hundreds of boats parade through the Venetian Lagoon in a spectacular display of maritime tradition.
