New Caledonia.
Who knew this gay-welcoming island has been discovered by Japanese lesbians? The rest of the world needs to find out why...
After 40 minutes by ferry from Noumea Harbor, we disembarked on the Islet Maitre at the L'Escapade Resort Hotel. The only other arriving passengers were a group of Japanese friends arriving for a wedding the next day.
We were warmly greeted by the GM, Bruno, and his assistant Larry, who drove me by golf cart around the oasis created on this marine reserve. I toured the huts over water and the tiny chapel being prepared for the Japanese wedding. I tried out the swim-up bar and both tiers of the sparkling swimming pool before walking a few steps to the lagoon where I oogled the fish and coral.
Later in the boutique, Larry asked me if I thought L'Escapade would appeal to gay men as well as lesbians. "I don't know why, but we have lots of them visiting, including the wedding tomorrow."
Maybe because the place is remote, has welcoming gay and lesbian staff, isn't too expensive, and is just plain romantic and picturesque for a chapel ceremony!
