HINA SPA Where life demands the exceptional, Hina Spa delivers a luxury retreat for those who appreciate the finer things. Perched on a hilltop, Hina Spa is a haven of comfort and beauty with breathtaking views. This soulful place, nestled in volcanic rock, will bring you energy and serenity. Hina Spa is named after the goddess Hina. In legends, Hina is always presented as the ambassador of beauty, charm, sweetness, well-being and joie de vivre. On most islands and in different versions, she is also said to be at the origin of the coconut tree, the indispensable nurturing tree of all Ma’ohi people. Hina, whose presence can be felt in the shimmer of a moon-ray or in the rustle of a coconut palm, remains the symbol of serenity and well-being.

WEDDING BROCHURE MOTU TAPU Motu Tapu is the most photographed islet in the South Pacific—just a five-minute boat ride from the Conrad Bora Bora Nui Resort. It was the private beach of Polynesian Queen Pomare IV, who reigned between 1827 and 1877. She held exclusive receptions and parties on the islet, where access was «Tapu» — forbidden, sacred, by invitation only, thus the name Motu Tapu has carried over to this day. Enjoy a day or a private dinner on this unique location. Please refer to our Concierge Team for more information.

  • Cruising French Polynesia with Children
    Cruising French Polynesia with children Experience Report - July 2018 - www.sy-moya.de Summary We, a family of four, visited French Polynesia including the Marquesean Islands, the Tuamotus and the Society Islands within 2.5 month from May to July 2018 after crossing the Pacific Ocean from Panama. For us French Polynesia is one of the most fascinating places we have been so far. The islands are absolutely stunning, many reefs are pristine with an abundance of wildlife, the culture is rich and the people we encountered as warm and open hearted. Especially, the Tuamotus are not easy to navigate and we experienced some nautical challenges as we entered through the passes into the lagoon, anchored inside the atolls and experienced pacific weather patterns. All of them we managed by thorough planning and were well worth the efforts. FRENCH POLYNESIA WWW.SY-MOYA.DE !1 Our personal top 10 Must Do´s of French Polynesia are: • Marquesas (Nuku Hiva): Visit the beautiful lagoon of Anaho and enjoy the stunning views hiking to the neighboring bay of Hatiheu • Marquesas (Tahuata): Explore the unspoiled villages of Tahuata, get in touch with the locals and participate at one of their religious festivals with beautiful singing • Marquesas (Ua Pou): Walk to the waterfalls and the chocolate farm up in the mountains • Marquesas (Ua Pou): Enjoy a delicious Polynesian dinner at Ti Pierro • Tuamotus (Raroia): Snorkel one of the reeflets inside the lagoon, with it´s clear water and the multi-colored untouched coral • Tuamotus (Tahanea): Enjoy the beauty and serenity of the pristine beaches and shallow waters • Tuamotus (Fakarava): Drift snorkel the Fakarava south pass, swim with sharks and watch an abundance of reef fish • Society Islands (Bora Bora): Watch traditional dancing and singing at the Heiva festival • Society Islands (Maupiti): Climb the peak on the main island and enjoy the gorgeous views.

  • Hagoth and the Polynesian Tradition
    Hagoth and the Polynesian Tradition Jerry K. Loveland n what amounts to an aside in the story of the Book of Mormon I peoples, there is in the 63rd chapter of Alma a brief reference to a “curious man” named Hagoth. And it came to pass that Hagoth, he being an exceedingly curi- ous man, therefore he went forth and built him an exceedingly large ship, on the borders of the land Bountiful, by the land Desolation, and launched it into the west sea, by the narrow neck which led into the land northward. And behold, there were many of the Nephites who did enter therein and did sail forth with much provisions, and also many women and children; and they took their course northward. And thus ended the thirty and seventh year. And in the thirty and eighth year, this man built other ships. And the first ship did also return, and many more people did enter into it; and they also took much provisions, and set out again to the land northward. And it came to pass that they were never heard of more. And we suppose that they were drowned in the depths of the sea. And it came to pass that one other ship also did sail forth; and whither she went we know not. (Alma 3:5–8) What we have here, is an account of a colonizing movement of men, women, and children who went out in ships presumably into the Pacific Ocean sometime between 53 and 57 b.c. And they were never heard of again.

  • View Meeting and Event Brochure
    WELCOME TO CONRAD BORA BORA NUI NEVER JUST STAY. STAY INSPIRED MAEVA French Polynesia is a country splintered into 118 islands, scattered in the middle of the world’s largest ocean. Each of these islands is attached to its identity, and each has its own tales and its own legends. This diversity gives French Polynesia its unique character, and a particular strength as all these stories and legends meet to form the ma’ohi culture. A majestic volcanic island, just like a queen surrounded, Bora Bora has the most extraordinary lagoon in the world. Bora Bora used to be called Vavau. The first European to sight the island was Dutchman Jakob Roggeveen in 1722. Captain Cook landed there in 1769 and named it Bora Bora on nautical charts. In 1847, French king Louis-Philippe recognized the Leewards Islands as independent, including Bora Bora ruled by king Tapoa II, former husband of Pomare IV, queen of Tahiti. Bora Bora only became a French territory in 1898. The island belongs to a group of volcanic islands that arose from a hot spot. The volcano, which was active a little over three million years ago, collapsed and was subjected to strong erosion. Motu To’opua, which peaks at 148 meters (485 ft.), is the only remaining fragment of the southeast rim of the crater. The pearl of the pacific is world-famous for its glinting turquoise lagoon, dazzlingly white sandy stretches of beach and luxurious resorts. With such a dreamlike setting, this magical island is, unsurprisingly, a great spot to discover. Bora Bora is one of the world’s top resort destinations.
