Sheraton New Caledonia Deva Resort & Spa - Opening March 15, 2014

Local Area

The resort is surrounded by the emerald waters and verdant tropical gardens of New Caledonia in the southwest Pacific. We are situated in Gouaro Deva, in the Bourail district on the central west coast of Grande Terre, the French special collectivity’s main island. New Caledonia’s capital Noumea is a 2-hour drive away, and La Tontouta International Airport (NOU) can be reached in 90 minutes. A small airport is being built nearby and will open within the next couple of years.

Combining Melanesian tradition and traditional French influence, our resort is the perfect home base for exploring the spectacular waters and marine life in this part of the Pacific Ocean. Now a UNESCO World Heritage site, New Caledonia is surrounded by the world’s second-largest coral reef system. Our house reef offers an array of aquatic and recreational activities, such as diving and snorkeling amid the prolific marine life. Partake in watersports including sailing, windsurfing, jet skiing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, and kite surfing. Join the fun with a game of beach volleyball with new friends, or simply soak up some sun on the golden-sand beaches. Try your hand at fly-fishing or angling. Charter a boat and take an excursion out to sea for the day, or paddle a canoe or kayak down a river or on a lake.

There are plenty of land activities here, too. Grande Terre has some of the best hiking in the South Pacific—follow one of the old mining and forest tracks amid native plants and birds. Play a round of golf on a great 18-hole course, or enjoy a game of tennis, squash, or cricket. Explore the area on a bicycle or take a riveting horseback riding expedition in the mountains.
