Intercontinental Moorea Resort & Spa

Mo'orea


Spread over more than 10 hectares along the seashore, Mo’orea’s biggest resort boasts 147 units and features a host of facilities and amenities, including two pools, two restaurants, two bars, a well-respected spa, a gift shop, a water-sports centre, a full dive shop and a marine-turtle rehabilitation centre.

With its varied accommodation options, it’s appropriate for couples and families alike. Pick a garden bungalow with plunge pool or a unit that sits on a small artificial island with a terrace over the water. The cheaper units occupy a curving two-storey motel-style wing. One proviso: some guests have found the service a bit lackadaisical.
