Our Favourite Tahiti Hotels

Accommodation in Tahiti & Her Islands ranges from luxurious overwater bungalows and boutique eco-lodges to family-run pensions in remote island settings.


We specialise in hotels and resorts that blend comfort, authenticity, and connection to nature. We always try to focus on special or unique properties - whether it's for couples or families. There are some great boutique hotels and resorts in Tahiti and several larger resorts which offer more than the cookie-cutter chain resort experience.


In Bora Bora and Taha’a, five-star resorts offer stunning lagoon views and exceptional service. Over-water villas are a feature, especially in Bora Bora.


Moorea and Huahine provide a more laid-back, boutique feel, with stylish beachside hotels and charming local guesthouses.


In the Tuamotus and Marquesas, accommodation is simpler but full of character—ideal for divers and cultural explorers.


Family-friendly hotels in Tahiti include spacious garden villas and beachfront suites, while couples might prefer romantic motu hideaways or wellness-focused retreats.


Across all islands, warm Polynesian hospitality shines. Whether you're pining for adventure, relaxation, or cultural immersion, you can expect some of the finest hospitality in the South Pacific.
