Te Moana Tahiti Resort: Your Tahitian Escape

Manava Suite Resort Tahiti sits on the west coast of Tahiti at Punaauia, about 1.3 km from the local centre and 4.9 km from Faa'a International Airport. The grounds run down to the lagoon, with a long infinity pool that seems to spill into the water. Look out across the channel and you see Moorea on the horizon, especially at sunset. It is a calm spot on the main island rather than a remote motu, so you stay close to Papeete while still waking up to the lagoon.

This deal covers a Studio for one guest on a room-only basis across six nights. The studios are simple and bright, with a kitchenette, a private balcony or terrace, and a bathroom with twin basins. The resort has its own stretch of pool deck reaching over the water, plus a fitness room, a bar and a couple of restaurants on site. Breakfast is not included in this rate, but you can add it at the hotel or eat out nearby.

Punaauia is an easy base for the rest of Tahiti. The local centre and its shops are about 1.3 km away, and Papeete with its market and waterfront is a short drive up the coast. Faa'a International Airport is 4.9 km from the door, which keeps arrival and departure quick. From the resort you can arrange day trips around the island, ferries to Moorea, or lagoon excursions, then come back to the pool by evening.

Best for travellers who want the lagoon and Moorea views of French Polynesia without committing to an over-water bungalow, and who like being near the airport and Papeete.
