The existing Hotel Drehu Village will be converted to Holiday Inn Resort Lifou in 2024 after a refurbishment programme.
Situated in the Lifou Island’s town centre of Wé, the 30-room beachfront resort will offer all-day dining and bar, as well as an outdoor swimming pool.
IHG vice president of development for Australasia, Japan & Pacific Abhijay Sandilya said: “The Loyalty Islands currently have no international hotel brand so bringing the world’s largest hotel brand family, Holiday Inn, and the world’s largest luxury hotel brand, InterContinental, to the islands will boost the territory’s global profile and give us a fantastic opportunity to offer IHG guests a unique New Caledonian tourism experience.”
At present, IHG has 51 hotels operating under four brands in Australasia with another 35 in the pipeline.
