Le MERIDIEN

 

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, 11 luxury bedrooms overlook the pool and beach from their own private balcony and another 10, newly inaugurated in 2011, overlook 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 the evening, or they may spend the day there, provided a booking is made and that space is available.

OPEN !

ECO-TOURISM :


 

KOUENEY CAMPING (pron: kwe-nay)

 

Kouéney Beach

Road to Kuto Vao

 

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 couple who cook with flair over an open fire, using local produce.
