French Polynesia - Moorea Island

The Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort is the perfect realization of a South Seas fantasy, located overwater and on the beach front.

Here the outside world fades quickly as you relax in a private, air-conditioned bungalow rising above a spectacular 10-acre lagoon.

On land, each fare (Tahitian for house) stands amidst luxurious gardens or on the beach front. And each bungalow features a private outdoor shower with unparalleled views.

Especially popular with honeymooners, the "island on an island" overwater rooms are connected by winding, wooden walkways built on stilts over the lagoon.

A viewing panel in the floor reveals jewel-colored fish beneath your feet, a ladder drops from your landing into the warm lagoon, should you feel tempted to join them for a swim.

For even more intimacy, you can choose to stay in our overwater horizon bungalows with an open outlook located among the over-water bungalows closest to the coral barrier reef.

These over-water bungalows come with a bath with shower, plus a separated shower room, individually controlled air conditioning, fan, a private terrace with an outside shower, direct-dial phone, color TV set, alarm-clock, CD player, individual safe, mini-bar, and coffee making facilities.

In the intimacy of your overwater bungalow, you will listen to the murmur of the waves and contemplate through a glass opening in the floor the perpetual ballet of multi-colored fish.

If you wish to see them closer, just slide down the pontoon ladder into the warm waters of the lagoon.

The Arii Vahine Restaurant at Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort provides yet another delightful overwater experience for Hilton guests, for breakfast & dinner.

The menu tempts the palate with French, American and other international gourmet creations like poisson cru (fresh fish marinated in coconut milk), grilled barrimundi (a local favorite) and lobster.

The restaurant's signature dessert is an award-winning coconut soufflé.

Each evening starting at sunset, hotel guests enjoy various forms of entertainment throughout the property.

Your concierge will be happy to arrange any number of diverse activities during your stay, each designed to help you discover the essence of Moorea.

Guests can visit the Opunohu valley by 4x4, rent cars or scooters, enjoy a circle island tour by bus, horseback riding along breath taking trails, mountain bike rentals for touring the island at your own pace.

Hotel guests have free access to tennis courts, a fitness room, and a Spa.
