「いつまでも海の似合う二人でいよう。リチャード御夫妻のように」 （まだまだ新米夫婦な私達ですが、リチャード御夫妻に出会ってお二人のように 何年、何十年経っても仲良く寄り添っていられる二人でいたいと思いました。）「日本での慌しい生活を忘れさせてくれる楽園に感激」 （ウヴェアを訪れて青い空、白い砂浜、透きとおった海に感動しました。美しい風景というのは いつまで見ていても飽きないのだなと感じました。）

Ouvea Atoll is the northernmost of the four Loyalty Islands. The eastern side of the atoll was uplifted millions of years ago so the whole eastern side forms one long narrow coral island with one of the world's most spectacular white sand beaches along the proctected lagoon. Ouvea is a 40 minute flight from Noumea, New Caledonia aboard Air Caledonie's new ATR turboprop planes. There is one 4 star Ouvea hotel - the Paradis d'Ouvea - two "Gites" and 6 "tribal stay" accommodation. There are also two managed campsites. Ouvea is popular with visitors - especially Japanese visitors - primarily because of the breathtaking beauty of the beach, but also because of the clear protected waters and coral reefs that offer great diving, interesting walks and annual festivals to attend. Two distinct cultural groups live on Ouvea, the Polynesian speaking people of the northern villages and the Melanesian speaking people of the southern villages. All of them also speak French and are French citizens because New Caledonia is part of France.
