    An archipelago made up of 4 islands: Ouvéa, Lifou, Tiga, and Maré, the Loyalty Islands are located about a hundred km from the mainland (Grande Terra). The population mainly comprises of Melanesians (Kanaks), and Polynesians. The islands have superb coral reefs and beaches with tropical vegetation inland.

    Lifou is the largest of the Loyalty Islands. Its beaches are superb, the vegetation very dense, and there are huge caves.

    Ouvea is very often called: "The island closest to paradise", the white sand there is so fine that you'd think it was flour.

    Mare is the most southern of the Loyalty Islands but also the highest. It is fringed with very ragged cliffs and you will also find inlets of fine sand.
