Located less than 5 km from Anse Vata, day trips to Maître Island are enjoyed by both tourists and Nouméans alike.
The only one of Nouméa's small islands with a hotel, Maître Island has a wide reef almost 2 km long. Easily accessible by boat from Anse Vata beach, the island is a great place to relax or explore the reef flat with its crystal clear turquoise water.
