overwater & beachfront bungalowsprivate isletPink sand beachcoconut grove

Nature on the Tuamotu Archipelago is so wild it feels like the world was just born. Le Tikehau is the only hotel on the atoll of the same name, stretching beside a beach of pink sand edging an endless lagoon. On Motu Tianoa, a private coral islet 15 minutes by boat from the atoll’s village, this property has a handful of bungalows that seem to float upon the crystal-clear waters, as well as a few villas perched by the lagoon’s sandy rim. Accommodations at Le Tikehau, crafted with local materials and roofed with nī’au (coconut palms), combine comfort, elegance, and simplicity. In the overwater bungalows, a glass viewing window in the floor lets you gaze upon the antics of native aquatic life, while those tucked beneath the coconut palms place you directly by the beach. Between coral-reef diving and relaxing in sun or shade, enjoy delectable meals at the Poreho restaurant and pampered moments of taurumi, the ancient massage technique using fragrant tiaré flowers.

Activities, excursions and other attractions during your stay at Le Tikehau Hotel

A voyage on the lagoon

With each motu-tiny islets set amid the crystal-clear waters of the lagoon-the atoll invites you to encounter nature in all its splendor. This boat trip includes a visit to Bird Island, a natural refuge for several endemic species of the Tuamotu Archipelago, and a Robinson Crusoe-style lunch on an unspoiled motu.

Swimming with manta rays

Just a five-minute boat ride from the hotel, the site of the former Tikehau pearl farm has become something of a meeting place for the lagoon's manta rays. You can observe these fascinating creatures up close as you snorkel on the surface or dive beneath the waves, watching as small fish-wrasses-helpfully remove parasites attached to their skin.

An unforgettable dive

Renowned as the atoll with the most numerous fish in the Tuamotu, Tikehau is a paradise for diving enthusiasts. The Tuheiava Pass is a gathering place for numerous species of local underwater fauna, which offers the chance to admire turtles, barracudas, jacks and sharks amid schools of long-faced emperors.
