Situated in a paradisiacal setting on the Motu Tu Vahine (Island of the Woman), a private little island of only 10 acres, in the middle of the lagoon of Tahaa, the Hotel VAHINE ISLAND has everything to make your stay in paradise an unforgettable one.

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.

	Situated on a secluded motu (islet), just northeast of the island of Taha’a
	Only 9 Beach & Overwater Bungalows
	30-minute transfer by boat shuttle from the Raiatea airport
