Adventures in Tahiti & Her Islands: Taha’a Pearl Resort

Le Taha’a is the ultimate and exclusive hideaway of glistening beaches and sparkling waters in the South Pacific. Taha'a, with the rich aroma of vanilla lingering heavily in the air, offers a glimpse of the traditional, tranquil life of the Tahitians. The flower-shaped island's simple beauty is charmed by soft mountain shapes and surrounded by tiny motu with bright sand beaches. In the fertile valleys cutting within the island, local farmers grow watermelon, vanilla, and copra.

Superbly located on Motu Tautau on the coral reef, the resort faces the island of Taha'a on the lagoon side and offers an unsurpassed view on Bora Bora Island on the ocean side.

This traditional Polynesian style hotel is 5 minutes by boat from main island of Taha'a and 35 min by boat from Raiatea Island . The resort offers 48 Over Water Suites & 12 Beach Suites more than a hundred square meters in size.

Rich with a multitude of treasures, Taha'a was once an object of rivalry between the kings of Bora Bora and Raiatea during the 18th and 19th centuries. Numerous archaeological sites attest this part of history. Over 40 sites and 100 structures, sometimes swallowed up by the blue lagoon, have so far been identified on the island.

Taha'a

 

The marine fauna is incredibly rich, varied and colourful. Underwater topography is also not without interest, with impressive depths, grottoes and crevices. One of the islands special features is the presence of the Distichopora coral, which creates superb yellow and violet tones on the outward slopes. There are more than 25 recorded sites around Taha'a and Raiatea, as well as localised dive sites at two of the eight passes through the reef into the single lagoon shared by both islands.

Dive spots are 10 to 25 minutes by boat from the hotel and undertaken through Taha’a Blue Nui Dive Centre. The Dive Centre is located on the beach of the hotel about 20 yards from the arrival and departure boat.
