Facilities across the three properties include beachfront and lagoon settings; multiple restaurants and bars; outdoor pools; fitness centres; Deep Nature Spa facilities; direct beach access and water-based recreation; meeting and event spaces in Nouméa and Déva; and access to Golf de Déva in Bourail.
“We are delighted to strengthen our longstanding relationship with Societe Hoteliere de Noumea and introduce Series by Marriott to New Caledonia,” Marriott International Regional Vice President, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific, Jason Nuell said.
“These distinctive resorts reflect the character, culture and natural beauty of New Caledonia and embody the vision of Series by Marriott: regionally created and globally connected.
“Through this collaboration, guests will be able to enjoy memorable local experiences with modern design and warm hospitality, alongside the trusted consistency and Marriott Bonvoy member benefits they know from Marriott across the globe,” he said.
Brieuc Frogier, President of Promosud, SHN Administrator and 2nd Vice-President of the Southern Province in charge of the tourism sector, said: “With these new agreements, we are opening a new page in our relationship with Marriott International. They allow us to strengthen the specific identity of each of our establishments while continuing to benefit from the power and expertise of a world leader in the hotel industry.
“This is an evolution that fully meets our ambition: to promote New Caledonia through an authentic, demanding and resolutely internationally oriented hotel offering.”
