It's the perfect base to get out and about in the local areas as well as some rest after your flight before heading to Moorea.
Next, it's onto the Sofitel Kia Ora – Nestled between two bays on the heart-shaped island of Moorea, a short trip from Tahiti, the Sofitel Kia Ora is set against a stunning mountain backdrop that melts into a crystal clear lagoon. The unspoiled beauty of this verdant paradise, also known as the ‘Island of Love. While here you'll enjoy the overwater villa, perched in the lagoon with the white sandy beaches on one side and the stunning turquoise water on the other.
The Intercontinental Thalasso is a dreamy oasis nestled in the heart of French Polynesia. As you step onto the soft, white sand beach, you are immediately transported to a world of pure serenity and relaxation. The crystal clear waters of the lagoon gently lap against the shore, creating a soothing melody that lulls you into a state of tranquility. The resort itself is a masterpiece of luxury and elegance.

la Orana French Polynesia!
la Orana French Polynesia!
Sculpted by sky-piercing, moss-green peaks and lined with vivid turquoise lagoons, sultry French Polynesia is a place to take it slow and experience warm, laid-back island culture.
The islands of French Polynesia became legends the minute the first European explorers reached their home shores with tales of a heaven on earth where the soil was fertile, life was simple and lust was guilt-free. While the lingering hype is outdated, French Polynesia is still about as dreamy as reality gets. The lagoons are just as blue but there are freeways, more conservative values and nine-to-five jobs. It’s not the untainted paradise of explorer lore, but at least there’s an internet connection.
The slim stretches of white-, pink- and black-sand beaches in French Polynesia are really just pretty springboards into the real draw: the lagoons. Most high islands are surrounded by fringing reef that creates a protected swimming pool of the most intense aqua imaginable. Coral atolls have this same calibre of lagoon minus the big island in the middle. Fish, dolphins, rays, sharks, turtles and more inhabit these clear-water coral gardens that are as excellent for snorkelling as they are for diving and swimming. Surfers ride glassy wave faces at reef passes while kitesurfers fly across the water with the trade winds.

This oceanfront property takes authentic French Polynesian design and architecture, elevating it to a level of luxury that is sure to kick off your French Polynesia experience with a bang. Its spacious semi-open air lobby, featuring its own bar, elegantly flows into the beautiful pool area, with those perfect views across the bright blue waters to Moorea.
Your room: King Ocean Suite
Unwind in this 936 sq. ft. king bed suite beautifully decorated with island-inspired artwork including a separate living room and a private balcony with an ocean view.

la Orana Mo'orea
la Orana Mo'orea
If you've been dreaming of holiday-brochure turquoise lagoons, white-sand beaches, vertical peaks and lush landscapes, you'd be hard-pressed to find better than this gem of an island. Hovering less than 20km across the 'Sea of the Moon' from its big sister, Tahiti, Mo'orea absorbs its many visitors so gracefully that it feels surprisingly nontouristy.
Mo’orea has a healthy selection of top-end resorts followed with pretty white-sand beaches, but nothing big and sweeping. The drawcard is the limpid, warm water of the vibrant lagoon. If you need some action, learn to kitesurf, take a hike, go on a whale- or dolphin-watching tour, hire a bike or a kayak, or go horse riding. Whatever the experience, there’s only one word to describe Mo’orea: divine!

Sofitel Kia Ora Mo'orea for 5 nights
Settle on the edge of a magnificently turquoise lagoon and marvel at the oceanic views leading to the distant silhouette of Tahiti. A tropical wonderland of lush green rainforests, magical lagoons and awe-inspiring mountains rising out of the Pacific Ocean. Moorea is the ideal destination for couples, with a wide range of exciting activities on hand. If you get tired of pure relaxation then you can dive, sail, wander through the pineapple fields or try the local Polynesian cuisine.
Your room: Luxury Horizon Overwater Bungalow
Your Luxury Horizon Overwater Bungalow is perfectly located to relax and admire the breathtaking views of the lagoon. Dip in the crystal-clear lagoon directly from your platform or enjoy the view from your private solarium.
The bedroom interiors are a tribute to the islands as viewed by the French painter Paul Gauguin, offering a traditional feel to your bungalow.
Discover Moorea
Discover Moorea
The island of Moorea is a tropical paradise. And it looks just as amazing in real life as it does in those famous photos you’ve seen. I know that you really enjoy planning things as and when so here are my top 15 things to do in Moorea…experiences you won’t want to miss.
**Please note, certain activities do require booking at least 3/4 months in advance, so let me know as soon as you can should you wish to add anything!
Explore the Lagoon in a Glass Bottom Kayak
There’s just no better way to explore a coral garden than in a transparent kayak for two! If you’re seeking unique things to do in Moorea, this is the experience for you. Snorkel with sharks, kayak alongside many species of fish and stingrays in true paradise.
Visit The Local Juice Factory
There’s juice, and then there’s juice. Visit the Moorea Juice Factory and discover how tropical fruits are turned into exotic juices that every Tahitian loves. The factory also doubles as a distillery, producing vanilla cream, Tahitian punch, pineapple wine and even sugar cane liquor. Oh and the best part – factory tours end with a never-ending tasting session!
Circle Moorea By Car Or Bicycle
Big enough to comfortably fit everyone yet small enough to comfortably explore, rent a car or hop on a bicycle and circle Moorea’s 60-kilometer coastline. Stop along the way to buy some tropical fruit, fresh tuna or an ice cold coconut, and pick a nice spot to savor the beautiful views. You’ll pass by cute churches, sleepy fishing villages, azure beaches and locals returning from the bakery with a couple of baguettes. Explore at your own pace and get a real feel for ‘island life’.
Experience Authentic Tahitian Culture
Exotic, mysterious, beautiful and vivid – those are just a few of the adjectives you can use to describe Tahitian culture. The Tiki Village in Moorea is the best way to get an authentic slice of traditional Tahitian life. During the day, you can bring your skills up to par with some ukulele and Tahitian cooking lessons. At night, you’ll be pinching yourself as a local legend unfolds in front of your eyes in beautiful song and dance. Oh, and they love playing with fire!
Climb To The Belvedere
Moorea’s twin bays carve out its signature heart shape and there’s no better place to see this (other than from the air of course) than at the Belvedere Lookout. An absolute must-visit spot, the mighty Mount Rotui seems to be within arm’s reach, acting as a towering barrier between Opunohu and Cook’s bay. Down below is the lush Opunohu Valley, where pineapple is grown in abundance. Get here early in the day or in the late afternoon to avoid the crowds, as this panoramic lookout is super popular.
Get a Magical View Of The Island
Unmarked and unknown, trekking up Magical Mountain on foot or as part of an ATV tour is something that should not be missed in Moorea. From up here, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views stretching from Opunohu Bay all the way to the lagoon motus way out west. If time seemed to tick away slowly on ground level, wait until you get to the summit of Magical Mountain!
Relax On Beautiful Tropical Beaches
Let’s face it, the real reason you come all the way to the remote islands of French Polynesia is to find that perfect beach. So don’t forget to pack a few books, and your snorkelling gear and pick up some fresh tropical fruit along the way. From long stretches of white sand to secluded hidden beaches – Moorea’s gorgeous beaches will satisfy any beachcomber’s taste.
Friday 1st March 2024

Optional | 4WD Safari & Waterfall, Full Day

A short break will enable you to stroll along the beach, collect up some nice shells and swim in the lagoon. In the afternoon, you will be driven to Afareaitu where an easy climb of about 15mn will take you to one of the waterfalls of the valley. Do not hesitate to take a dip! An enjoyable moment for the discovery of the different facets of Moorea.

But there’s much more to do than clink glasses with your loved one in a luxurious hotel. The good thing is that you can mix slow-paced sun-and-sand holidays with action-packed adventures.
