Welcome in the Moorea Pearl Resort & Spa

Nothing says “Ultimate Romance” quite like Bora Bora. The word is out — and has been for some time — about this French Polynesian island’s extraordinary natural beauty. Even the most jaded globe-trotter duly drops his jaw when facing with the spectacle of the lagoon and the iconic silhouette of Mount Otemanu in the background.
Are you ready for your ultimate romance vacation?

Enchanting Bora Bora belongs to the exclusive, “so-preposterously-gorgeous-it-doesn’t-seem-natural” club of travel destinations. What is it about islands that makes them so intriguing? Whether it is a tropical speck in the midst of a vast ocean, or a tree-shrouded hummock in the river of a great city, it is still somehow set apart, unique, proud, lonely, and even mysterious. Once you’ve reached its shores, you know you’re somewhere different.

Intimate resorts are waiting for you in Tahiti, Moorea or Bora Bora. In this unreal world, seclusion, overwater bungalows, and

Romantic Sunset in Moorea...

Polynesian spas are your daily life! Live exceptional twosome moments on a deserted motu (islet), savoring feet-in-water a glass of champagne served in a coconut shell, plunging into the pristine lagoon to swim with the fish, or tasting a Tahitian style dishes prepared in the most traditional of ways, in the underground oven covered with banana leaves.

You’re just a click away from your once in a lifetime romantic experience…

Esquire’s “Guide to International Eating” recommends Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora!

“If you can’t find yourself in French Polynesia, at least you can lose yourself there. Best approach is to book passage on the small luxury liner Paul Gauguin, have breakfast served on your balcony by your butler, then disembark. On Bora Bora, rent a car, drive along the ocean road, and ask where the seaside eatery La Villa Mahana (“the house of sunshine”) is. Enjoy the fried mahi mahi topped with chopped raw onions and tomatoes over a coconut milk sauce with a side of French fries, or the suckling pig from the sandpit. Then take your food outside to watch the afternoon rainfall, and afterwards go swimming… Come back to the ship, nurse a few Tahitian Hinano beers and dine at Le Grill, the most casual of the three restaurants, on the top deck open to the island breezes, and feast on Polynesian poisson cru consisting of raw tuna, lime juice, coconut juice, baby ginger, tomato, and raw onion.”
