Tipaniers Iti

Mo'orea

LoginSave

Depending on your perspective, you’ll find Tipaniers Iti either quiet or isolated. Looking out over spectacular Opunohu Bay, it consists of a handful of bungalows that are identical in a verdant property on the water's edge. Try for one of the two bungalows that face the lagoon. There’s an over-the-water dock for lounging, but no beach. Snorkelling is good, but the water is deep.

Tipaniers Iti is an annex of Les Tipaniers, which is at Hauru Point, about 4km to the west. A free shuttle runs between the two properties in the evening, and guests can participate in Les Tipaniers' activities. Snorkelling gear and bikes are complimentary.
