Located on the west coast of the main island of New Caledonia in the South Pacific, Vailloux is the center of the city of Kumak. The administrative and commercial heart of the city, Vailloux is situated next to a magnificent lagoon landscape, about 100 kilometers from the capital Nouméa. The area is characterized by a unique mestizo culture, a blend of Kanak traditions and French colonial imprints, with French as the lingua franca.
Vailloux has a backdrop of densely jungled mountains and faces the New Caledonian lagoon, a World Heritage Site. Visitors can experience mangrove canoeing, whale watching (July-September) and coral reef diving. The white sandy coast of nearby Isle of Pines and the French architecture of Nouméa form a classic tourist itinerary, while traditional tribal handicrafts and wood carvings are unique.
The economy is based on nickel mining (the world's largest open-pit nickel mine is located nearby), coconut farming and tourism. The area retains the slow pace of life in the South Pacific, with weekly markets where tropical fruits, fish and handicrafts are traded. It is worth noting that New Caledonia uses the Pacific franc and is a French Overseas Territory with visa-free access on a Schengen visa.
