Seday

Loyalty Islands


Up north, in the quiet tribu of Roh, is a little honeymoon bungalow (5600 CFP) set on a rock in the water, plus three thatched bungalows. Sit on the wooden platform over the water, or slither between the rocks where it’s great to snorkel. The restaurant serves excellent meals (1800 CFP) based on fish and home-grown vegetables.
