Located less than 2 miles from downtown Papeete and built on the grounds where the Royal Pomare family (the last ruling Tahitian Dynasty) once lived, the Royal Tahitian Hotel is set amongst 7 spacious acres of flower filled tropical gardens and lawns, on a black sand beach facing the island of Moorea.
The Royal Tahitian is a reasonably small property, with just 30 Standard Guest Rooms and 10 Studio Suites, which were all refurbished in 2013. The Standard Guest Rooms offer 1 Double or 2 Twin beds, ensuite bathroom with bath/shower and complimentary toiletries, hairdryer (on request), air conditioning, lounge area with mini-bar, tea and coffee making facilities, in-room safe, Wi-Fi internet access (fee) and flat screen TV, and a whole wall of windows with sliding patio doors opening to a furnished patio or balcony with views over the gardens, the mountains or the black sand beach. Each room can accommodate 1 extra single bed, but the hotel does not supply cots for infants.
The Studio Suites offer similar amenities to the Standard Guest Rooms, but additionally offer a full equipped kitchen and breakfast bar, with a full-size fridge/freezer, cooker, oven and sink and a furnished patio or balcony.
Dining at the Le Royal Tahitian Restaurant has traditional Polynesian decor, including an amazing braided ceiling, and offers an international-class menu with strong French and Polynesian influences. The Executive Chef is well known for his delicious food and unusual tropical decoration. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the open air restaurant, with the light fragrant breeze wafting through the dining room. In the evening, the bar serves all your favourite refreshments while you enjoy the sun set over the lagoon, and some nights, you can enjoy traditional, local entertainment of song and dance.
The Royal Tahitian is set right on a volcanic black sand beach with easy access to the warm, shallow sea, ideal for swimming, snorkelling or stand up paddleboarding. Diving, surfing, sailing, outrigger canoes and guided catamaran tours can all be arranged by the Tours and Excursions Desk, as can 4X4 excursions, guided hikes, and many other interesting trips. In the grounds is a jacuzzi and a beautiful, free-form swimming pool with waterfall, surrounded by sun decks and tropical gardens, if you would rather swim in fresh water.
The Hotel offers good value accommodation that is relatively new and is ideal if you want to spend a few nights discovering what Tahiti has to offer, before or after an outer island stay.

Although there are frequent
international flights into Tahiti, there are limited airports of
embarkation to choose from, with currently only Paris, Los Angeles,
Auckland and Tokyo offering single plane air service to
Tahiti.
The international airline for French Polynesia. is Air Tahiti
Nui, who operate daily flights from Paris and Los
Angeles to Tahiti, and on some days there are additional fights
to/from Los Angeles. In addition, they operate two weekly flights
to/from Auckland and they serve Tokyo twice a week. Their services
to New York and Sydney have been suspended, at this
time.
Air France
currently offer a service from Paris, three times a week via Los
Angeles
Air New Zealand
operates daily flights via LA to Papeete, and 5 days a week from/to
Auckland with it's own aircraft. It also operates a codeshare
arrangements with Air Tahiti Nui providing seats on their fights
from Tahiti to Auckland and Los Angeles.
United Airlines operate 3 times a week from San Francisco to Papeete, on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, which will connect to their daily flight from Heathrow.
Air Calin

Air Tahiti is
French Polynesia's domestic airline, which operates an extensive
domestic flight network covering all the country's main islands,
with at least a daily service. With the main Society islands
receiving a number of flights a day, since Air Moorea stopped
operations between Tahiti and Moorea, the flight connections now to
Moorea have become limited, most connections between the two are
now done by ferry boat.
The less populated and outer islands have a restricted service, so
sometimes a night stop in Tahiti may be required when connecting to
these islands.
Air Tahiti
provide the only air service between Tahiti and the Cook islands,
which they currently do once a week on a Thursday, an extra high
season flight is operated between June and August
There are a number of aircraft and helicopters available for private charters, but they all tend to be based in Tahiti so arranging charters between the outer islands can be expensive as the aircraft will originate and terminate in Tahiti. Tahiti Nui Helicopters are one such company that operate resort transfers (where helipad available), inter-island flights and sightseeing trips. Contact us for further info.
