InterContinental Resort & Spa
Moorea
Set amongst
27 acres of tropical gardens and turquoise waters of the lagoon
surrounded
by white sandy beaches with a dramatic mountain backdrop, this
resort features a range of accommodations from beach, garden and
overwater suites to air-conditioned bungalows, all with their own
sundecks. All have been recently renovated.
Adjacent
to the overwater bungalows, an enormous natural pool houses the
dolphin sanctuary. The dolphins are free to swim where they wish
and delight in swimming with their guests.
At the
resort’s spa local ingredients such as banana, pineapple, and papaya
are used to create treatments that are incredibly refreshing,
incorporating Polynesian tradition and French know-how to remarkable
effect.
Sheraton Moorea Lagoon Resort & Spa
Gaze across
the unruffled surface of the Sea of Moon and you will see Moorea,
the
quintessential dream of Polynesian paradise, often thought to be
James Michener’s mythical “Bali Hai.” A ten-minute flight or
30-minute catamaran ride from Tahiti will bring you to this pristine
island of extraordinary white beaches, volcanic peaks, vanilla and
pineapple plantations and a beauty and remoteness essentially
untouched by modern man.
Accommodations
consist of luxurious, traditional bungalows hidden amongst the
trees,
along the edge of the white sand beach and over the waters of the
lagoon. The Mandara Spa is an oasis of tranquility where tropical
flowers and fruits are used in all treatment products. The
impeccable service at the Sheraton Moorea combined with the
luxurious accommodations and outstanding facilities make the resort
a highly sought-after vacation destination.
Moorea Pearl Resort & Spa
Ideally
situated on 21 acres of white sand beach front, this traditional
Polynesian-style
