Vahine Island

In order to preserve the intimacy and authenticity of the Hotel, the owner has created a small scale format, purposely limiting the number of bungalows to nine, using pure Polynesian traditional building materials and techniques.

White sand beaches, a magnificent coconut grove full of light and shadows, a coral garden full of underwater splendors, a full range of blue hues splashed across the lagoon, and a backdrop of superb sunsets over Bora Bora will take your breath away, and remain forever etched in your memories of this unbelievable place.

This is one of those exceptional spots that steps outside of time, unique and spellbinding, where calm and sensuality harmonize with charm and serenity...

Professionalism, consideration, and availability are the special attributes of our staff at Vahine.
