Hotel rooms in French Polynesia
The Society Islands include Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora, with accommodation settings that change from one shoreline to the next. The Tuamotu atolls put lagoon activities at the centre of a visit. The Marquesas offer a different emphasis, with steep island landscapes and cultural outings that deserve their own time in an itinerary.
Read beyond the room name
A superior room does not mean the same thing in every hotel. Read the description of the actual room category and its own amenities. A balcony shown for the property may not be included in every room.
- Floor area, proper beds and maximum occupancy
- Air conditioning, fans and ventilation
- The difference between sea view, beachfront and lagoon access
The setting in French Polynesia
A room price alone tells you little about the overall trip. Add the meals, island transfers and outings you expect to use before comparing a guesthouse with a resort. For a property on a motu, ask how trips to the main island work. Self catering also depends on practical access to food shops.
For a motu stay, ask about both your arrival transfer and transport to the main island during the holiday.
