Taha'a Private Island & Spa is designed to be the most luxurious resorts in French Polynesia. If you are looking for a destination that is off the beaten track, a place where you can slip into a different world, a different culture, a place to be surrounded by calmness and luxury that you might only dream exists, then Taha'a Private Island & Spa is the place. Superbly located on the coral reef of Motu Tautau, the resort faces the island of Taha'a on the lagoon side and offers an unsurpassed view of Bora Bora island, on the ocean side. Taha'a, slightly smaller and less populated than Raiatea, shares a wonderful lagoon rich in sea life and water sports activities such as scuba diving, windsurfing, and outrigger canoeing. The surrounding waters of both Islands are also known the world over for their legendary sailing, yachting, and sport fishing opportunities. Taha'a's nickname is the "Vanilla Island"- because of its constant rich aroma of vanilla. In fact, the Island boasts a full 80% of all Tahiti's vanilla production. The Taha'a Private Island & Spa is located 5 minutes by private boat from main island of Taha'a, and offers luxurious bungalow suites measuring more than 1,000 square feet each. Their facilities surpass all existing hotel accommodation in the whole Pacific region. The public areas are built in the trees, providing an exquisite view on the lagoon and Taha'a Island. There is a real ambiance here, from the warmth of the air scented heavily with tropical flowers to the fiery romantic sunsets that signal the end of another fabulous Tahitian day. The Taha'a Private Island & Spa is the ultimate and exclusive hideaway of glistening beaches and sparkling waters in the South Pacific.

Known as the "Vanilla Island" for the exotic scent of its most famous crop, Taha'a offers both wild beauty and incomparable luxury. You will stay at La Taha'a Private Island and Spa, one of French Polynesia's most exclusive resorts. Overwater bungalows fulfill every romantic dream with beautiful accommodations and dramatic views of the lagoon and Bora Bora. The resort's charming Beach Villas offer your own private pool and garden surrounded by natural rock walls for absolute privacy. And you will find an oasis of tranquility within the Manea Spa, shaded by a grove of coconut trees between a lovely lake and lagoon.
