Description

Le Taha’a Island Resort and Spa, part of the Relais & Chateaux group, flaunts all the charm of quintessential French Polynesia on the lesser-known island of Taha’a.

At first glance, it seems as though the Motu Tautau islet is little more than a cluster of Palm trees reaching up to the sky. Then, stretching out into the blue like an elegantly curled hand, the overwater suites suspend gracefully above impossibly clear sea to give the first hint of this luxury hideaway – Le Taha’a Island Resort and Spa. Whether you take the five-minute boat ride from the main island of Taha’a, or on an exhilarating 15-minute helicopter ride from Bora Bora; arriving at this little slice of heaven is just a taste of things to come.

Room Types
BEACH VILLA
The Beach Villas are Le Taha’a Island Resort and Spa’s signature accommodation. Blending into the environment and overlooking the brilliant blues of the ocean, they offer blissful solitude. Each villa comprises of a bedroom and separate living area with a private plunge pool nestled within a perfectly private tropical garden. There’s even an outdoor bathtub!

Description, Services & Facilities
A calming, enchanting aura engulfs Le Taha’a Island Resort and Spa, inviting guests to unwind against the gorgeous backdrop of bone-white beaches and azure seas. Taha’a island itself is known for its fragrant vanilla plantations, a specific bean that is cherished by chefs around the world, as well as Tahitian black pearls which can be bought from the hotel’s boutique as a chic memoir. Opt for one of the hotel’s excursions to be whisked away to these farms, and catch sight of the island’s natural spectacles beneath the water by snorkelling or diving through the colourful coral nursery.

Or, wander along immaculate stretches of sand, find a secret spot and read a book beneath the shade of the trees, maybe a round of tennis and try your hand at watersports. There’s also a fitness centre and spa at Le Taha’a Island Resort, though if your idea of a treat comes in the form of food then look no further than Le Vanille, a treetop haunt which immerses you in nature while serving local delicacies like seafood with coconut and vanilla-infused desserts, making your stay a tantalising and – if you so wish – active one indeed!

Dining

Le Vanille
Le Vanille is an – at times – lively place of themed dinners and dance displays while you eat, and at others – an entirely peaceful restaurant surrounded by trees and sounds of the sea; atmospheric either way!
International breakfasts of fresh juice, European-style pastries and hot buffet options lead into evening fare, which has a much more local twist

La Plage
Beachside dining at its relaxed, tasty best, La Plage is all about fresh zingy flavours, easy daytime options and lighter bites, all within a classically laid-back seafront setting

Ohiri Restaurant
A more refined and formal fine dining option compared with the main restaurant, Ohiri is a place of wine matching, expertly prepared French-Polynesian cuisine and intimate moments
This is a booking-only restaurant due to its intimate layout and limited number of tables, so be sure to book early!
