Hereheretue Known for its breathtakingly beautiful lagoon, one of the most beautiful in the world, the island of Bora Bora is perhaps the best known of Polynesian islands. Here on the Pearl of the Pacific, visitors will enjoy a romantic stay in a place of unparalleled natural beauty.

The Maitai is situated in the southern part of the island, on the famous Matira Bay, well known for its soft white sand and dazzling blue lagoon. Set into the side of the mountain, the rooms offer panoramic views of the islets (“motus”) emerging from the coral reef. On the lagoon side, traditional bungalows afford direct access to the beach, and for those who are over-water, a glass “laguna-scope” floor table allows you to admire the multi-coloured coral fish directly from your bungalow. Surrounded by a lush tropical garden, the Haere Mai restaurant offers on Polynesian evenings a menu of local specialties that you can enjoy while watching a traditional singing and dancing show. The beach restaurant “Tama’a Maitai” is open all day and is a good place to meet fellow guests of the hotel or even local residents in a convivial atmosphere. Just a few minutes by car from the main village of Vaitape, the Maitai Polynesia is ideally located for water and land excursions permitting you to discover the main attractions of the island, such as the cannon embattlements mounted on the hills by the American Seabees during WW II. The Maitai Polynesia on Bora Bora was the first hotel in French Polynesia to earn the EarthCheck Silver certification, recognizing its efforts in sustainable and responsible tourism operations.

What could be more romantic than celebrating a “Polynesian Style” wedding on the lagoon during sunset? The hotel will be pleased to organize a traditional wedding ceremony for you. Also, make sure to allow time for a unique body treatment with pure seawater rich with nutrients coming directly from the depth of the PacificO cean.*

*At the “Deep Ocean Spa” in partnership with the Intercontinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa. The dream destination for all scuba divers and ocean lovers, Rangiroa with its 400 “motu” (islet(s) in Tahitian) stands as the gateway of the Tuamotu Archipelago. It is the world’s second largest atoll due to the size of its lagoon.

The Maitai Rangiroa is set facing the lagoon between Avatoru pass and Tiputa pass, where the two main villages of the island are located. Each traditional style bungalow, located in a garden on the beach, some of them facing the lagoon, has its own terrace. A cosy nest where you can compare notes after a day of scuba or snorkeling to discover the breathtaking coral universe that is Rangiroa. The restaurant “Le Lagon Bleu” (“Blue Lagoon”), set on a terrace overlooking the lagoon offers a Polynesian cuisine with a French touch. The seafood comes in fresh daily, and the bar is a good place to meet other sea lovers, divers and excursionists, in a warm, convivial atmosphere. Discussions will no doubt be about the thrill of encountering dolphins in the Tiputa pass or the discovery of the island’s reef and its fossil coral formations.

Staying in Rangiroa will also allow you to discover other treasures, such as “The Blue Lagoon” an amazing natural swimming pool, local black pearls farmed in the lagoon, and the hardy “Paumotu” people who, through many generations, have adapted to this remote and isolated environment.

Rangiroa is world renowned for its remarkable underwater fauna. Snorkelers and scuba divers will experience the rich coral gardens of the island teeming with fish. The Maitai Rangiroa team is there to help you organize your preferred activities and excursions. A boundless tropical garden, the secret island of Huahine is a natural sanctuary with many archaeological wonders and other landmarks of its rich Polynesian culture and history.

Set on a white sand beach, the Hotel Maitai Lapita Village is composed of thirty bungalows, half of them set around a natural spring pond covered with water lilies. Conveniently located at the entrance of Fare, the island’s main village, The Maitai Lapita Village is emblematic of the mix of nature and culture that is unique to the enchanting island of Huahine. Here you will discover luxuriant vegetation, private bays and inlets, heavenly motus, but also a rich cultural and historical heritage. This charming hotel village naturally blends into its environment as it combines local traditional materials and modern recycled ones. The “Omai” restaurant offers delectable dishes for all tastes using many local fruits and vegetables and of course fresh fish. The hotel’s architecture draws inspiration from the great sailing canoes of the islands ancestors, the Lapita people, and the saga of their migration through the Pacific Islands. Archaeological excavations were undertaken on the very site of the hotel and have contributed greatly to our knowledge of the Lapita people and the way they lived. Many ancient artifacts, some over 1000 years old, were recovered and some are on display in the hotel’s own museum gallery, including hooks, domestic tools, ornamental pendants, etc.

On the island of Huahine, also called “memory island”, many monuments from the pre-European era can easily be visited: open air temples (marae), ancient lake dwelling villages, a great attraction to do with a tour guide. These well preserved sites are among the largest in French Polynesia. E S S
