Without resorting to cliché, this resort is the archetypal South Pacific paradise, with thatched huts and walkways overlooking turquoise lagoons and green volcanic peaks. Service is friendly and laid-back, yet efficient and intuitive. The resort only has 57 suites and villas and is perfect for honeymoon or celebratory trips. Exploring the amazing underwater world is a popular activity, as is relaxing on this private motu simply enjoying the sublime views. Alternatively, unwinding with a traditional massage in the beautiful spa is a great way to while away a couple of hours.

The resort has three restaurants, Le Vanille, La Plage, The Ohiri. Le Vanille is the main restaurant that is set amongst the trees and serves breakfast and dinner. La Plage is a great spot for al fresco lunches on the beach, set under a magnificent high thatched roof.

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.
