What is the first image that comes to mind when you think of Tahiti? Along with a sparkling turquoise lagoon, majestic Mount Otemanu in Bora Bora & a rapid hip-shaking Ote’a dancer, you’re probably picturing luxurious overwater accommodation! We’ve put together our favourite overwater bungalows to inspire your next holiday to Tahiti.

Most affordable:

For those that want the overwater experience for less, Manava Beach Resort & Spa Moorea has fantastic specials on their overwater bungalows that are available year round! This property was the first resort in the world to create overwater bungalows. Moorea is a fantastic alternative to Bora Bora as you still get picturesque beaches and stunning water views plus the mountains provide for exciting adventure tours like ATV tours and horseback riding.

Something Sweet & Unique:

Taha’a is one of those perfect Islands of Tahiti where time stands still and life is lived a little slower. Le Taha’a Island Resort & Spa sits on its own private motu, with 45 overwater suites that all have fantastic views across to Taha’a or the majestic silhouette of Bora Bora. Taha’a produces more than 80 percent of Tahiti’s unique vanilla so a stay here simply must include a tour to a vanilla plantation!

Lifestyle of the Rich & Famous:

Bora Bora is a celebrity’s playground and has featured in many blockbuster productions. However our pick is Conrad Bora Bora Nui where a certain someone lost a $75,000 diamond earring. Here you have a choice of 86 overwater bungalows including the expansive two-story Presidential Villa. This room type features two bedrooms, three generous bathrooms, sauna, three separate terraces, an infinity pool overlooking the horizon, whirlpool, bar and lounge area plus your own personal butler!

Largest & Most Luxurious:

Boasting the largest overwaters in French Polynesia, St Regis Bora Bora will certainly not disappoint. This property exudes old world luxury with white-gloved butlers and anticipation of all your needs. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff to organise for you.

Marine Lovers:

Water babies will love a visit to Tikehau! The oval shaped lagoon features white and pink sand beaches. Divers will love eagle rays, barracudas, tuna, grey reef sharks, turtles, dolphins and more. Tikehau was declared by Captain Jacque Cousteau as “the most fish abundant Tuamotu atoll”. Tikehau Pearl Beach Resort is situated on a pink sand beach and features Polynesian style overwater bungalows and suites. Through the glass floor in your overwater bungalow, you can admire your downstairs neighbours: the thousands of fish that live happily in one of the world’s most beautiful lagoons.
