The beach villas each have personal plunge pools while the overwater bungalows have direct access to the blue waters.

Location

Located next to a stunning coral reef and on a small motu, or islet, is Le Taha’a Island Resort and Spa. It is covered with coconut palms leading to white sand beaches that overlook calm, coral-filled lagoons and the deeper blue seas beyond. In one direction are views across to the towering peaks of Bora Bora, and in the other the neighboring island of Taha'a.

By its nature, on a remote private island, shops and amenities are limited. However, the resort has everything you need, including a small shop, restaurants and bars onsite. They can also arrange a boat trip over to the main island to enjoy a meal at the one local restaurants within reach.

Food and drink

The resort has three restaurants, Le Vanille, La Plage, The Ohiri. Le Vanille is the main restaurant that is set among the trees and serves breakfast and dinner. La Plage is a great spot for alfresco lunches on the beach, set under a magnificent high thatched roof. For fine dining you can make a reservation at The Ohiri, which features French-Polynesian fusion cuisine along with fine wines. If you are looking for a refreshing drink you can head to Manuia, which is on the beach and has a swim-up bar. Alternatively, Tehutu serves pre-dinner cocktails and tapas.

Families

Although this is predominantly a couples' resort, families are welcome. Babysitting can be arranged for a charge and there are kids' menus at Le Plage and Le Vanille, where children under 13 eat for free. Children will love the magical setting, but may tire of a longer stay.
