Luxury Hotels in Moorea

Just a short ferry ride from Tahiti, Moorea rises from the South Pacific with a dramatic skyline of jagged volcanic peaks cloaked in deep green. The island’s main draw is its breathtaking lagoon, a protected aquarium of turquoise water teeming with rays and reef sharks, best experienced on a boat trip to the sandbar at Motu Ahi. Days here are for snorkeling at Temae Beach, hiking the trail to the Belvedere Lookout for panoramic views of Cook’s and Opunohu Bays, or simply soaking in the profound serenity of the Polynesian landscape.

Moorea is ideal for couples and families seeking a relaxed, nature-focused escape. Most visitors stay in the coastal areas around Hauru Point on the northwest coast or near the Maharepa shopping center, which offer good access to restaurants and lagoon tours. The island is easy to explore by rental car or scooter, and the small Temae Airport receives regular flights from Papeete. There’s no real business travel scene here; this is a place to disconnect.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find 14 properties ranging from charming family-run guesthouses, or *pensions*, to the iconic overwater bungalows of international luxury resorts. The selection is dominated by these high-end resorts and a number of intimate, mid-range boutique hotels, offering that classic South Seas experience right from your private deck.
