Motu Nao Nao is a 75-acre private island on the lagoon of Raiatea in French Polynesia, available exclusively to one group at a time.
The island has four handcrafted villas, each designed around the natural landscape with custom furniture, panoramic island views, private trails, beaches, and docks throughout the grounds.
A private chef runs a seasonal menu built almost entirely from locally sourced ingredients, including fish caught in the lagoon, organic vegetables, and wild island produce. Experiences on the island range from sailing in a traditional Va’a Holopuni outrigger canoe and Ori Tahiti dance lessons to kitesurfing across the Raiatea lagoon and open-air cinema on the beach at sunset.
With the island exclusively yours for the duration of a stay, Motu Nao Nao sits at the most private end of what French Polynesia offers, suited to honeymooners, families, and groups looking for a genuinely exclusive island experience.

Dining
A dedicated private chef oversees all meals on the island, working from a seasonal menu where ingredients are sourced as locally as possible. Fish comes from the surrounding lagoon, vegetables are organic, and wild ingredients found on the island are incorporated throughout. Everything is prepared and served exclusively for the group in residence.
Wellness
Yoga, pilates, and massage can all be arranged on the island, with sessions set against the natural sounds of the lagoon and surrounding landscape. The pace of the island itself is a significant part of the offering, with private trails, beaches, and docks available for unhurried exploration throughout the stay.
Location
Motu Nao Nao sits on the lagoon of Raiatea, the second largest island in French Polynesia and one of the least visited by international tourists, giving the island a level of seclusion that Bora Bora’s more developed coastline can no longer offer. The lagoon surrounding the island is calm and clear, with kitesurfing, sailing, and snorkeling all available directly from the island’s own docks and beaches.
