New Caledonia has Events, Venues and Retreats for Gay and Lesbian Visitors to Melanesian Arts Festival in September

Whatever it takes, get yourself to Noumea!

A little culture, a little relaxation.  What better way to savor somewhere new –  like New Caledonia.  If the gourmet moments and exquisite lagoon views don’t get you in Noumea, maybe you’ll fall in love with island life on the beautiful Isle of Pines.

Value-added travel options for visits during the 4th Melanesian Arts Festival in Noumea, New Caledonia, 12-24 September, have been created by the Rainbow Tourism Travel Concierge team.

In addition to several days in Noumea for free cultural activities and touring the main island, the deals include a side trip to Isle of Pines rainforest retreat operated by Le Meridien and the Starwood Luxury Hotel Group.

Festival Short Break and Festival Week Escape packages have been priced with special emphasis on activities of interest to lesbian and gay travelers – including during the festival, after dark and on the outer islands.
