Luxury French Polynesia hotels

‘Beachfront Luxury, Turquoise Lagoon’

Sitting like an angel between two romantic bays on the heart-shaped island of Moorea, The Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort and Spa is a paradise for all who encounter it. With magical mountains as its backdrop and a magnificent crystal clear ten-acre lagoon embracing its edge – Moorea’s only all-bungalow resort with idyllic ocean front location is one in a million. A ten-minute flight or 30-minute catamaran ride from Tahiti followed by a 25 minute drive from the airport or ferry port will bring you to this enchanting island resort, and you won’t want to leave. Activities are abound, both on-land and under-water, with fantastic snorkelling, Polynesian activities and a vast tennis court. Dining is also a delight, choose from light snacks and refreshing cocktails, or an overwater dining experience with fresh seafood and sweeping lagoon views.

Marlon Brando’s Legacy; Luxury Eco-friendly Island

Marlon Brando’s desire for an eco-friendly place for others to enjoy has been realised with The Brando. Acquired by the actor in 1966, Tetiaroa, former retreat of Tahitian Kings, is an atoll adorned, protected area, with 12 motus (islets), surrounded by a vibrant, annular reef and is very close to zero carbon impact. This intimate hideaway is for 82 guests pampered by 200 employees and there’s an all-inclusive option with 35 luxurious comfortable villas each with a private pool. Tetiaroa is a major site of sea turtle nesting in the evenings from November to March. Dining-wise, the resort entrusted its kitchens to Guy Martin, the two-star Chef and owner of the Grand Véfour in Paris and after dinner, Bob's Bar offers a weekly outdoor film screening, a live concert or a traditional show. And if, despite all of this, civilization calls you, your concierge can arrange a trip to Tahiti or Moorea.
