Village Temanoha

Mo'orea


If stepping out of your room and digging your toes in the sand isn't a must, this venture is a great option, with five spacious wood and stone bungalows surrounding an inviting pool. Best of all, it enjoys a spectacular mountain-side setting beneath Mt Rotui in a 2-hectare tropical garden. Breakfast is an extra 1500 CFP and dinner is 2000 CFP.

It's about 1.5km from the coastal road; it's best to have your own wheels.
