The Tuamotus
This place is a great find if you're working to a tight budget – it's an all-inclusive formula, with daily excursions to the most scenic spots on the island. The eight comfortable bungalows, two of which have direct lagoon views, grace the pass, but there’s not really a beach. A small plot is set aside for campers, who have their own ablution block.
Kayaks and bikes are free if you stay in a bungalow; campers pay 500 CFP per day. Cash only.
