Papeete
Moorea Pearl Resort & Spa
Moorea, French Polynesia
TEL: 68 (9) 55-17-50
This resort will satisfy your every South Seas fantasy: an island dappled with pineapple plantations, pastel-painted cottages, and white-sand beaches; spectacular dive sites with bright fish and coral; thatched-roof bungalows on stilts over a crystalline lagoon; and French and Polynesian dishes served prior to a fire-dancing demonstration. When you’re not being slathered with umuhei oil (a Tahitian love potion) at the resort’s new holistic spa, you can spend time reconnecting with your partner in your over-water bungalow or tracing the shoreline as the sun sinks. Beyond the picture-perfect setting, the hotel also offers a menu of “romantic interludes,” including a starlit dinner on your bungalow’s terrace.
