TUOMOTU ISLANDS & HUAHINE

Far less traveled than Bora Bora, Moorea, and Tahiti, the Tuamotu Islands are the ultimate remote islands offering the Tahitian vacationer the true experience of a secluded South Pacific Atoll.  A haven for divers and snorkelers, the islands of Rangiroa and Tikehau attract visitors worldwide for their expansive and pristine lagoon, and the luxury resorts featuring overwater bungalows. Rangiroa, with its 42 mile long by 16 mile wide turquoise lagoon, is the largest atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago and the second largest in the world. Only an hour's flight from Tahiti, Rangiroa offers sunshine, white coral beaches and an immense playground for water sports and activities.
Tikehau, one of the most beautiful atolls in Polynesia, forms an almost unbroken circle 16 miles across, creating a unique ecosystem with the highest preponderance of fish of all the atolls, and luscious pink sand beaches.

 

Huahine is the undiscovered jewel of the Society Islands in French Polynesia. About thirty minutes by plane from the island of Tahiti, Huahine, with its lush forests, untamed landscape, and quaint villages, is one of Polynesia's best-kept secrets. A deep, crystal-clear lagoon surrounds the two islands while magnificent bays and white-sand beaches add drama and solitude to their virtues. Relatively unchanged by the modern world, Huahine offer a slower taste of old Polynesia.

The Hotel Kia Ora Resort & Spa is located on the northwest part of the atoll of Rangiroa, between the passes of Tiputa and Avatoru. Nestled in the heart of a magnificent coconut plantation, bordered by a white sand beach and a turquoise lagoon, the hotel boasts an elegant and refined architecture in perfect harmony with its environment.

Since its complete renovation in 2011, the Hotel Kia Ora Resort & Spa includes 60 villas and bungalows with exceptional style, scattered throughout the coconut grove, on the beach and overlooking the lagoon. A spa with a rain shower and a fitness room complete the hotel facilities. On the waterfront, two restaurants including a gourmet one and a bar on stilts surround a swimming pool with Jacuzzi.  Suspended between the sky and the sea in a setting where all the blues are combined, the Overwater Bungalows invite you to an unforgettable experience. Outside the bungalow, a solarium decorated with two padded lounge chairs and a shaded dining table allow you to appreciate the beauty of the endless lagoon of Rangiroa. The terrace is also equipped with a staircase leading down to a platform at water level, ideal for swimming and exploring the wonders of the underwater world of the atoll. The Rangiroa Hotel Kia Ora offers beach and overwater bungalows and villas newly refurbished in a modern decor and design.   All bungalows ring the lagoon along a beautiful white sand beach on the north shore of the atoll. Each air-conditioned bungalow features a king size bed or 2 twin beds, sitting area with sofa bed, desk, bathroom with shower, hair dryer, coffee/tea facilities, mini bar, telephone, Wi-Fi, flat screen TV, iPod docking station, internet access, ceiling fan, in room safe, and sundeck with lounge chairs.
