What are the three regions of the Oceania?

There are three sub-regions of Oceania: Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia. These do not cover Australia, although Australia is usually outlined as neighbouring and included in the Oceania region. Australia Pacific is a region that inclues the countries of Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji. Wherever you visit in and around Australia Pacific you'll have plenty of accommodation choices to make the most of your holiday when you book and stay with Accor.

What does the sub-region of Melanesia include?

Melanesia covers Papua New Guinea and Fiji, while Polynesia covers French Polynesia and further islands. Both Fiji and Tahiti make for dream holiday destinations. It would be hard to feel you've made a mistake visiting either. That being said, there are some differences between the two that can help you make a decision. Tahiti can be more expensive, particularly when it comes to accommodation. Tahiti offers more overwater bungalows, which are luxurious and particularly popular but can cost more. Fiji tends to be less commercialised and has more beaches with an intimate feel and has resorts perfect for families. Tahiti offers more in the way of scenery and dreamy landscape. Overall though, you can't go wrong with either.

What cities are located in Australia Pacific?

Within Australia Pacific are a vast amount of cities. Where you visit will depend on your preferences and time. If you're visiting Australia, it's a good idea to see some of the capital cities. Sydney and Melbourne are the best known, though great coastal cities are also, including the Gold Coast. Likewise, in New Zealand, a mix of capital cities like Auckland and Wellington and towns like Queenstown and Rotorua will make for a rewarding experience. If visiting Fiji, Denarau Island, and Suva are popular destinations, while in French Polynesia, Tahiti and Bora Bora are some of the better-known islands.

Can you swim in the Pacific Ocean?

You can swim in the Pacific Ocean, and there are many idyllic swimming spots in Australia Pacific. The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest ocean on Earth, with the most extensive array of marine life. Known for being intensely blue, beaches bordering the Pacific Ocean are great places to swim, paddle, surf, and snorkel.
