Oro
Bay
Luxury
Resort Hotel
****
|
|
The
most luxurious resort on Isle of Pines,
the Meridien harmonises with the
luxuriant tropical setting of a cove in Oro
Bay, on the east coast - ‘where the sun
rises, where the moon rises’.
29
bungalow-suites each have their own private
balcony, lounge, double bed with
mosquito net and a sumptuous bathroom.
In
separate wings, 10 luxury bedrooms
overlook the pool and beach from their own
private balcony and another 10 look
out to a peaceful garden. Each unit is
equipped with television, telephone, video,
ceiling fans and air-conditioning.

The
style of architecture, in well-cared for
gardens, creates the atmosphere of a haven,
quite apart from the rest of the island.
Several
recent innovations include a small
botanic garden that gives guests the
opportunity to discover plants and aromatic
herbs the chef uses in his dishes. Walk a
little further and you'll find a sheltered
path along which to observe birds of the
forest and, nearby, is an area especially for
demonstrations such as how to make a bougna
(the island's traditional festive meal cooked
in the ground).
|
|
|
|
|
Visitors
who are not staying at Le Meridien are
welcome to dine at the hotel, at mid-day or in

Comagna,
two minutes beyond Ouré Hotel
|

If
you dream of being put to sleep by the
swoosh of the waves and waking to birdsong,
the camping
site ATCHU might suit you.
These
peaceful, well-kept, extensive grounds, are
endowed with an abundance of luxuriant
vegetation where banana trees and lime trees
flourish alongside endemic species including
sandalwood.
This
camping spot is far from roughing it. In
fact, if you don't want to pitch a tent, you
can sleep in a large, round traditional
thatched hut, on a mattress laid out on
mats.
Hosts
Louise and Yves Kouathé provide all the
necessary to make camping pleasant: areas
specifically for cooking over a fire,
washing the dishes with running water, as
well as showers, toilets, wash-basins and a
clothes washing spot.
The
couple can also provide meals at a
reasonable price, transfers and excursions
to smaller islands or for fishing. You can
even cast your line directly in front of the
site.

Road

A
camping spot dominating a long, hidden
beach. It's the fruit of hard work by
Jean-Louis and Hélène Josse who have created
a park-like setting for their camping site
situated 1km from Kanumera, 2 km from Kuto
and 4 km from Vao. It's quiet and tucked
away, despite not being far from the road
between Kuto and Vao village.
From
early morning until sunset, the atmosphere
near the water's edge is captivating. The
only drawback could be facing the sometimes
fresh, south-east wind.
Campers
are welcome with or without tent, and
have the choice of cooking their own meals
or having them provided by the Josse family
who cook over an open fire, using local
produce.
