Bungalows and Villas

BEACH BUNGALOW

The Beach Bungalows enjoy a prime location, facing the crystal-clear lagoon of Rangiroa. All have a private outdoor jacuzzi surrounded by a deck overlooking the lagoon so you can take in the panoramic view spread out over the horizon. Rock in the hammock alongside the beach for a holiday in paradise. The interior has been refreshed and retains the original Polynesian style of the hotel (wood furniture, local handicrafts). There is a spacious living room and a separate bedroom, both open to the terrace on lagoon side, and to the bathroom on the garden side. The bathroom features a very large shower.

DUPLEX BEACH BUNGALOW

This bungalow is just like a regular Beach Bungalow with Jacuzzi. There is an additional bedroom on a second floor with a king-size bed and breathtaking views of the sea. This bungalow is a great option for families.

DELUXE BEACH BUNGALOW

This category faces the lagoon and combines Polynesian influences with sophisticated, modern style. Our favorite feature is a nice infinity private pool on the terrace that overlooks the beach and the lagoon. Inside, the bed is the focal point of the room as it faces toward the deck with great views. There is a small sitting are as well. All around the room, murals with soothing colors, representing ancestral Polynesian motifs, add a touch of warmth. The bathroom is separated by frosted glass panels and carved wood providing a feeling of space. Behind the bungalow, a coral wall has an open-air bathtub lined with tropical plants.

VILLA WITH POOL

These are our favorite bungalows with a private pool & garden surrounded by walls of white coral. This very pleasant & intimate room category has been totally redecorated in a modern style. In your garden, you will find a long plunge pool and a “fare pote’e” for outside dinner. Inside, the main room has a king size bed and a sitting area. The room and the bathroom are both very spacious and luminous. There is a walk-in shower inside as well as an outdoor bathtub surrounded by plants.

JUNIOR SUITE WITH POOL

These villas are very similar to the interior and feel of the Villa with Pool. They feature an additional living room space separated from the bedroom that has access to the deck, pool and garden.

OVERWATER BUNGALOW

The Overwater bungalows are the best place to enjoy the Rangiroa lagoon. They feature a large terrace and sundeck for excellent outdoor living. There are stairs from the deck down to a private swim platform for easy access to the lagoon. Inside, the main room serves as the bedroom and living room. There is a glass floor panel in the seating area allowing you to see the marine life below. The spacious bathroom has a bathtub with separate shower.

FAMILY SUITE WITH POOL

These are the largest unit at the resort and would be great for a family to share. They have the bedroom and bathroom of a Villa with Pool, the extra living space of a Junior Suite. In addition, they have another separate bedroom with bathroom. They also have an extended deck around the pool. Lots of space for up to 5 people!

We really enjoyed arriving in Tahiti and having everything taken care of. I always wanted to arrive at the airport and have someone holding a sign with my name on it. 😁 Also wanted to share with you there were other people using travel agents and they Did Not get the treatment we got. With that being said Thank you and your company for taking such good care of us.
