• Prestige Seminar :
 

  The perfume and cosmetics company, Lancôme of L’Oreal Australia, chose Isle of Pines to launch several new beauty products and a men’s range in early August. Le Méridien Hotel, Oro, and the bay’s natural pool provided the setting for an intensive exchange of ideas and information for a select group of 14 editors from such prestige publications as Vogue, Marie-Claire and New Woman.


 

 
• Essential oils :
  And, an authentic island perfume … the island’s sandalwood distillery now makes its essential oil available to visitors, in the form a tiny, roll-top phial. Accompanying the santal
perfume, the HEP company (Huiles Essentielles du Pacifique) markets another essential oil, Niaouli, the New Caledonian equivalent of the Australian tea-tree. Both products make small souvenirs or gifts and are available at different outlets on the island, including the cultural centre, Vao and the boutique Creations Ile des Pins, at Kuto.
 


 

 
• NEW ACTIVITIES :
  A number of new activities and services add variety to a stay on Isle of Pines:

- Deep-sea Fishing
- Glass-bottom Boat
- Horse-riding
- Information Office
- Laundry Service
- Snack Kohu
- Take-away Bougna
- Taxi Boat
