Moorea Pearl Resort & Spa

A boutique hotel featuring 28 overwater bungalows in addition to 66 garden and beach rooms and suites, the Moorea Pearl Resort & Spa is perfectly situated on a gorgeous and convenient corner of Moorea Island.

Unlike many other hotels in the South Pacific, the Moorea Pearl Resort heavily incorporates the Polynesian surroundings rather than trying to seem more like a European spa. As a result, the place has more of a “paradise” feeling than most other overwater bungalow resorts in the region.

Location

The Moorea Pearl Resort & Spa is beautifully set along the north shore of the island of Moorea, which is only 11 miles (17km) from Tahiti itself.

What the reviews say

The reviews for the Moorea Pearl Resort & Spa are almost all extremely positive, with most of them using the word “paradise” somewhere in the title. Considering this is far from the most expensive resort in Moorea, that’s an excellent sign. The service is regarded to be excellent and the location is convenient since it’s near other restaurants and activities, which isn’t true of some of the more remote resorts.

Getting there

In order to reach the Moorea Pearl Resort you have to fly to Tahiti and then take a very short flight to Moorea Airport, which is fairly close to the resort. If you happen to be elsewhere in Tahiti already you can arrive by a 1-hour ferry ride and then a taxi from the ferry dock.
