Hotel Les Tipaniers

If your idea of paradise is a barefoot kind of place combining enchantment, ambience and unspoiled beauty, Hotel Les Tipaniers, located in an idyllic corner of Moorea, awaits. Surrounded by coconut palms and tropical flowers, the 22 Polynesian style fares cooled by ceiling fans have private bathrooms, telephone, safety box and each has its own terrace overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Eleven bungalows are equipped with kitchens. Immerse yourself in nature…

The magnificent beach restaurant and bar offers local, French and Italian specialties accompanied by a comprehensive wine list and Polynesian cocktails as you watch the indescribable beauty of Moorea's sunsets. Three romantic motus (islets), are located just off-shore next to the protected coral reef and can easily be reached by individual outrigger canoe or swimming, providing perfect sites for 'picnics on a deserted island', snorkelling, fishing, or sunbathing. The hotel's large motorised outrigger canoe makes regular lagoon trips and there is a scuba diving and activities centre on site. Shark discovery, glass-bottom boat, and waterskiing are just some of the activities on offer. Deep sea fishing boats and cars are available to rent. Other options nearby are tennis, horseback riding and a weekly traditional Polynesian feast.

A second property, Les Tipaniers Iti, provides a further five four-person fares equipped with kitchenettes, five kilometres form the hotel. A sun-deck style wharf provides berthing for boats, and regular shuttle services both boat and land, allow guests to take advantage of the facilities and services at Les Tipaniers.
