Chez Justine

The Tuamotus


This family-run pension offers a divine location, on a wide sandy beach lapped by topaz waters. Ask for one of the four individual beachfront bungalows here, which are slightly more expensive than the four basic, humbly furnished rooms tucked away behind (there are plans to refurbish them). Campers can pitch tents on a sandy, shady plot just 10m from the lagoon – bliss!

Campers also have a communal kitchen at their disposal or they can order a meal (1000 CFP to 2500 CFP). Kayaks and (rusty) bikes are complimentary.
