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.
Casual
visitors are asked to respect the hotel's dress
code.
|
|
OPEN

Sumptuous
beauty and well-being treatments, using exclusive
products from Thailand, are available at The Spa.

body wraps, to facial and nail care.

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.
