The 5 Best Hotels in Tahiti
1. InterContinental Tahiti Resort & Spa
Hotel phone: (689) 4086 5178
This opulent resort boasts immense tropical gardens and a polished, Polynesian-inspired aesthetic. Many guest rooms feature sea vistas and secluded above-water bungalows also available. The lack of a beach is offset by expansive lagoon-style pools with infinity edges, one including a swim-up bar. An abundance of activities cater to couples while entertaining options please families. Situated on the outskirts yet close to Pape’ete airport, it provides isolation from dining and nightlife areas yet accessibility.
2. InterContinental Moorea Resort & Spa
Hotel phone: (689) 4086 5178
Except for the seclusion (2.5km from the village), this is flawless: indescribably lovely setting facing the sea and human-made inlets, with a stunning mountain backdrop. Apparently endless beaches and tropical gardens. Bungalows on the sand, perched above the water, or more remote but with a private pool. Adding to the tropical vibe are the 2 Infinity-edge pools, themed buffets, and marvelous kids’ club.
(Note: The hotel is temporarily closed.)
3. Sofitel Tahiti Ia Ora Beach Resort
Hotel phone: (689) 4047 0727
Though remotely situated, this property remains reasonably close to the nation`s capital city. Guest rooms provide adequate accommodations, but the highlight involves lodging over the water in bungalow-style units. Extensive renovations in 2018 resulted in contemporary décor, updated facilities, and abundant windows emphasizing sweeping ocean perspectives. A smaller beach provides recreation but the expansive lagoon-like swimming pool surrounded by extensive tropical gardens filled with lotus ponds makes a greater impression. Additional amenities involve water sport rentals and wellness activities like yoga and tennis.
4. Manava Beach Resort & Spa Moorea
Hotel phone: (689) 4043 1788
Vast and serene coastal surroundings. Beautiful bungalows perched above an azure lagoon, accessible via ladder from private wooden sundecks affording spectacular views both within including marine wildlife glimpsed through a partially transparent flooring. A astonishing pool, several heavenly beaches and abundant water activities. And a brief five-minute stroll reaches village shops and cafes.
5. Moorea Beach Lodge
Hotel phone: (689) 8723 3325
Tranquil colonial charm radiates from this small seaside resort, anchored by a massive banyan tree at the center of its intimate garden. The lightly populated beach is modest in size yet ideal for relaxation, located just meters from bungalow-style rooms predominantly facing inward toward the greenery with a select few peering directly upon the ocean. Both the shoreside lounge and communal living area exude old-world hospitality, while activities such as cycling, kayaking, and snorkeling are provided complimentary to leisurely pursuits.
