At a glance
Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort and Spa sits on the northwestern coast of Moorea, with overwater bungalows, beachfront rooms, and garden retreats spread across eco-certified grounds above the lagoon.
The resort holds the distinction of operating Moorea’s only overwater restaurant, giving it a dining position that no other property on the island can replicate.
Accommodation spans three distinct settings: overwater villas with open lagoon views, beachfront rooms with direct sand access, and garden bungalows set within lush tropical greenery.
The resort’s tour desk arranges a full range of island activities, from snorkelling with stingrays and rays to 4×4 safaris across Moorea’s mountainous interior. A full-service spa, lagoon-style pool, tennis courts, yoga classes, and a fitness centre complete the on-property offering, and the eco-friendly certification reflects an ongoing commitment to reducing the resort’s environmental footprint across operations.
Highlights
- Home to Moorea’s only overwater restaurant, with open lagoon views at every meal
- Eco-certified resort with overwater, beachfront, and garden accommodation above the lagoon
- Tour desk arranging stingray snorkeling, 4×4 island safaris, and guided mountain hikes
Accommodation
Deluxe Garden Pool Bungalow
This beautiful bungalow is set in the resort’s wonderful and luscious gardens. With great views, each bungalow has its own king bed complete with a private terrace as well as its very own plunge pool. The rooms have their own elegant marble bathroom with a rain shower and separate claw footed bath tub.
Lagoon Bungalow
The King Lagoon Bungalows at Hilton Mo’orea have direct access to the sea and also have a lagoon view. Each bungalow has a private sun deck with their own loungers and direct access to the lagoon. The room also has the iconic glass floor viewing panel.
Overwater Bungalow
The iconic Hilton Mo’orea water bungalows are the resort’s best room category. Choose from a standard or panoramic villa, each of which has a waterside sun-deck and a glass floor viewing panel so you can observe the tropical marine life. Enjoy direct access to the lagoon as well as a marble bathroom with a rain shower and bath.
Further information
Dining
The resort’s overwater restaurant is the standout feature of the dining offering, serving Polynesian and international cuisine above the lagoon with unobstructed water views throughout the meal. A more casual beachfront option handles lighter daytime bites alongside handcrafted cocktails, and the full dining program draws on fresh local island ingredients across all venues.
Wellness
A full-service spa delivers Polynesian-inspired massages, facials, and body therapies in a dedicated treatment environment designed for extended stays. Yoga classes run alongside the resort’s fitness center, and the lagoon-style pool provides a natural complement to the spa for guests building a broader wellness routine across their stay.
Location
Moorea sits 17 kilometers northwest of Tahiti, accessible by a 30-minute ferry crossing or a short flight from Faaa Airport. The Hilton occupies Papetoai on the island’s northwestern coast, one of Moorea’s quieter stretches of shoreline, with the twin bays of Cook and Opunohu accessible by road within 20 minutes and the island’s volcanic peaks forming a continuous backdrop across the resort’s garden and overwater positions.
French Polynesia
French Polynesia is a French overseas collectivity, which means French law applies, the currency is the CFP Franc, and French is the official language alongside Tahitian. English is widely spoken across the main tourist islands and at all luxury properties. No visa is required for US, UK, EU, Canadian, or Australian citizens for stays of up to 90 days.
Our Experts
French Polynesia is the ultimate luxury travel destination. No trip to paradise is complete without a visit to Tahiti, Mo'orea and Bora Bora. You can combine all of these islands into one island hopping vacation.
When I think of French Polynesia, I think of stunning overwater bungalows, crystal-clear waters and vibrant coral reefs. The country's commitment to inclusivity makes it the perfect choice for our clients.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.

The Ultimate French Polynesia Grand Tour
Tailor-made HolidaySome destinations ask you to choose one experience over another; French Polynesia does not. This sixteen-day journey moves through five islands across two archipelagos, each with its own character and pace, connected by short inter-island flights, a scenic ferry crossing, and a private boat transfer. You will begin in Tahiti, the territory's cultural and geographic heart, before crossing the Sea of the Moon to Moorea, where jagged volcanic peaks rise directly behind the lagoon.

Bora Bora Snorkelling & Reef Trip
Tailor-made HolidayYour journey begins on Mo'orea, where a turquoise lagoon shelters black tip reef sharks, turtles, and stingrays within easy reach of the shore. From there, you continue to Bora Bora, where Mount Otemanu rises over a lagoon best seen from a private catamaran, glass of champagne in hand. The route continues to Rangiroa, the second-largest atoll on Earth, where the pink-tinged sands of Vahituri catch the afternoon light.

Secluded Tahiti & Rangiroa Tour
Tailor-made HolidayThis itinerary moves through three of French Polynesia's quieter islands, each reached only by boat or short inter-island flight, and each rarely appearing on a first-time visitor's itinerary. It suits travellers who have already done Bora Bora, or who would rather skip it, in favour of a slower, less-photographed route through French Polynesia. The journey begins on Tahiti, where volcanic peaks meet a coastline still shaped by the island's original Polynesian settlements.
