Le Tahiti by Pearl Resorts sits on Lafayette Beach in Matavai Bay, ten minutes from downtown Papeete and the only beachfront resort in the French Polynesian capital.
The black volcanic sand beach and views across to Moorea Island give the property a distinctive setting that sets it apart from the island’s more inland city hotels.
Rooms and suites range from ocean view rooms with private balconies overlooking the beach to overwater suites with direct lagoon access and glass-top coffee tables above the water. An infinity pool, activity desk, local arts and crafts market, and free shuttle service to Papeete city center are all available on the property.
Evening entertainment runs twice weekly, with traditional Marquesan performances, authentic cultural nights, and live concerts at the Bay Bar, rounding out a cultural program that goes beyond what most Tahiti hotels offer.

Dining
Hiti Mahana restaurant sits al fresco above Lafayette Beach with views across Matavai Bay, serving French-Polynesian cuisine throughout the day. The Bay Bar operates as the resort’s sunset and evening venue, hosting live concerts on the first and last Fridays of each month alongside its regular cocktail and drinks service. Room service is available for guests preferring to dine privately.
Wellness
Tavai Spa draws on traditional Polynesian ingredients and techniques throughout its treatment menu. Signature offerings include the Mahara Massage with monoi oil, a black volcanic sand body scrub, a fresh papaya facial, and the Parataito ceremonial bath. Monthly featured treatments rotate the menu, with current offerings including the Coco and Raspberry Mahara Massage and the Miri Monamona Facial Glow.
Location
Positioned on the northwestern coast of Tahiti, Le Tahiti by Pearl Resorts sits ten minutes from Papeete by road, giving guests straightforward access to the capital’s markets, restaurants, and cultural sites via the resort’s free shuttle. Matavai Bay, directly in front of the hotel, carries significant historical weight as the anchorage point for Captain Cook’s three Pacific voyages, and the surrounding area takes in the botanical gardens at Papenosea, the Arahoho Blowholes, and the Faarumai Waterfalls within a short drive along the coastal road.
