Exclusive Vahine Island Resort is located on its own private motu (islet) on the northern side of the island of Tahaa. Sharing a common lagoon with Raiatea and accessible only by boat, Tahaa produces about 80% of all vanilla in French Polynesia. Tahaa is the only island in the Society Islands that can be completely circled by boat inside the protected lagoon.
With its many deep bays and small deserted motus on the reef, Tahaa is an ideal island to escape from the stresses of the modern world. Here you can explore the reef and discover the beauty of its multicolored lagoon, enjoy a picnic on a deserted motu or go hiking in the mountains and through the vanilla plantations and learn the mystery of these "orchids". With only a handful of guest houses and two hotels, Tahaa is slowly awakening to tourism and yet it still maintains an authentic flavor of Polynesia.
Upon your arrival at the quaint airport of the nearby island of Raiatea, your are taken on a 25 minutes speedboat ride across the transparent lagoon to this intimate and romantic resort of Vahine.
Surrounding you are white sandy beaches, coconut groves, and the sheltering coral reef with the open ocean on one side and a tranquil lagoon on the other. Beautifully integrated into its environment, the resort has only 3 spacious Overwater Bungalows, plus six Beachfront Bungalows hidden among the coconut trees. All the bungalows as well as the restaurant are designed and crafted in traditional local style, with exotic woods and pandanus roofs.
If you are looking for romance and seclusion in a magical environment, the Vahine Island Resort will absolutely enchant you, and was voted best "tropical hideaway" by Conde nast Traveler in 1998 for good reason. |
