Le Meridien Bora Bora - Education and Relaxation!
March 14, 2012
While touring the islands of Tahiti last November, I visited some of the most beautiful and luxurious resorts in the world. I was very impressed with Le Meridien Bora Bora.
Overlooking Mt. Otemanu, Le Meridien Bora Bora is on its own motu (lagoon island) where guests from around the globe arrive by boat. Fares (bungalows) are scattered all around the resort in overwater and beachside bungalows so there isn’t a crowded feel at all.
The inner lagoon at Le Meridien Bora Bora is a sanctuary for hawksbill turtles, and has a programme that raises young turtles and eventually releases adults into the wild. The programme operates under the supervision of the Ministry for the Environment. Guests can learn about the turtles, but also have the opportunity to swim among them in their natural habitat, the lagoon. Guests will also enjoy the many colourful tropical fish that inhabit the same waters.
The resort is a perfect destination for both families as well as romantic couples due to the wide range of activities and spacious feel of this incredible sanctuary.

Le Taha’a Private Island Resort & Spa - Voted #1 by Travel Gal
February 8, 2012
Recently I traveled all over the islands of Tahiti to check out the most luxurious and romantic boutique luxury hideaways in the South Pacific - hey somebody has to do it right?! My vote is for Le Taha’a Private island Resort & Spa!
We were met at the airport by our speedboat - imagine walking off a plane and right over to your waiting yacht! This was the first clue we were experiencing top of the line luxury! Our 20 minute ride was a photographers dream - pictures of pearl farms on stilts in the water, the oceanfront community church of Taha’a as well as the assorted little glimpse into island life makes for some great memories.
Arriving at Le Taha’a we were escorted to our huge overwater, island inspired bungalows complete with private deck, snorkle gear, seperate bath w/shower and amazing soaking tub, and king size bed - absolutely one of the most luxurious bungalows I’ve ever seen.
We dined in the Ohiri Restaurant which is the resorts goumet option. The Chef delighted us with french/polynesian fusion cuisine. The Sommelier selected wine to compliment the cuisine from their excellent wine cellar.
TravelGal opinion: The food! Oh my stars! We enjoyed a 4 course dinner with wine pairing that will rival any top restaurant - for the foodies out there - this is where you want to be!
Atmosphere is cozy, warm and romantic…palm trees are swaying, birds are singing, life is good on Le Taha’a.
Room Tip: Every room is amazing but I would pay up to experience the overwater bungalows.
