Le Taha'a Island Resort & Spa review


This is a very special place. For those dreaming of a tropical escape in Tahiti, their fantasies will be fulfilled here. On a private motu off the island of Taha’a (the “vanilla island” which is a beautiful, unspoiled island without an airport). You fly to Raitea and are transferred to the resort by boat (or take the helicopter transfer from the Bora Bora Pearl for a spectacular arrival). This Relais & Chateaux property offers luxurious accommodations and facilities without sacrificing the authentic Polynesian spirit. Quiet and peaceful, with gorgeous grounds, we may have discovered paradise.

From my over-water bungalow, I could feed the fish from bed or the canoe-shaped tub by opening the glass tables! The separate shower was slate with coral accents. Room amenities included a cd-player, expresso machine, and bamboo vase with incense sticks stuck into sand.

The Beach Villas have private plunge pool and indoor/outdoor shower. For two couples traveling together, the Two-bedroom Royal Beach Villa is the same price as 2 bungalows with lots of extra space and amenities including a big pool and outdoor dining area. Three restaurants (with great food!), two bars, Manea Spa (see photo) and lots of activities are available if you can get yourself out of the water. I recommend snorkeling in their coral garden with a guide to see a multitude of brightly-colored fish.
