Taha'a, Vanilla Island

“Set on the resort’s beautiful grounds, enjoy a romantic evening under the Tahitian starlit sky. A local dance troupe will greet you with the sound of the ‘Pu’, typical Polynesian welcome, and songs from the islands. Champagne will be served as drums, songs and dances transport you to ancient Tahiti. To the sounds of ukulele, a sumptuous 3-course dinner will then be served”.

The Motu Tautau Dinner

“I will always pledge to highlight the product’s core value. Here in French Polynesia, we have at disposition, not only international products but many exotic local aromas which create great subtle combinations. I always keep in mind when I cook that it is a whole, flavor is important, but everything around is important as well. A dish stimulates the 5 senses of the person who will be eating it”.

Tāvai Spa

Insularity imposes its own acute awareness of the scarcity of natural resources. Adopting a sustainable lifestyle is the logical solution!

Here, hotel life is organised so as to use local resources. Constructed with 90%  island materials this establishment has adapted its menu to match what is available on the island. Rather than contributing to CO2 emissions by importing beef, lamb, veal and poultry, not found on the island, the Chef makes imaginative use of the vegetables, fruit, fish and pork that can be found in abundance. Before purchase, they make sure the minimum sizes of fish, langoustines and crabs are respected. And food waste is unthinkable: vegetable waste goes into the compost, and the rest goes to a pig farmer in exchange for ten piglets a year.

Designed in authentic Polynesian architectural style, Le Taha’a by Pearl Resorts is situated on a beautiful islet of the archipelago of the Society Islands. This coral sand island is a five-minute-boat ride away from Taha’a island, famous for its lush vanilla plantations and its black pearl farms. Idyllic, intimate and wonderfully preserved, the thatched huts on stilts of this retreat are in the heart of a natural setting of fascinating beauty, where an enchanting vanilla fragrance and the scents of lush tropical vegetation fill the air. The lagoon has crystal-clear waters and splendid colours and there is an exceptional coral garden.
