Further information
Dining
The hotel restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a menu built around fresh local produce and French-Polynesian cooking. The setting faces the lagoon directly, and the kitchen sources ingredients from the surrounding island where possible. In-room dining is available on request through the concierge service, which operates seven days a week from 8am to 8pm.
Wellness
Spa by Opoa sits at the edge of the lagoon in a traditional open-air massage fare, where treatments are delivered against a backdrop of tropical birdsong and sea breeze. A certified wellness therapist offers massages, body scrubs, and wraps drawing on Polynesian ingredients including tiaré, tipanie, and monoi oil. The spa is open to both hotel guests and outside visitors by appointment, making it one of the few wellness spaces on Raiatea accessible to non-residents.
Location
Opoa Beach Hotel’s restaurant in Raiatea serves lunch and dinner daily, five minutes from Taputapuatea Marae. Diners can enjoy Polynesian-inspired cuisine with French gastronomic techniques, using fresh local fish, organic herbs, garden produce and homemade desserts. The beach bar opens from 11am, offering lagoon views, cocktails, fresh fruit drinks, local beer and a relaxed sandy setting.
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.

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.
