Résidence Linareva

Top choice in Mo'orea

LoginSave

Résidence Linareva has a great reputation and features a cluster of well-furnished, self-contained bungalows in a lush garden by the lagoon. What's missing is a swimmable beach, but there’s great snorkelling off the long pontoon jutting out over the lagoon. If you don’t mind the isolated location (a vehicle is essential), it’s a great place to stay.

No meals are served except breakfast (1650 CFP). Bicycles, kayaks and snorkelling equipment are provided free of charge. The on-site dive shop is an added bonus.
