HILTON MOOREA LAGOON RESORT & SPA – FRENCH POLYNESIA
HILTON MOOREA LAGOON RESORT & SPA
Imaginatively conceived to complement its beautiful natural surroundings:
Easily accessed by a flight of just 10 minutes from the French Polynesia gateway of Papeete on Tahiti Island, this very impressive luxury resort lies in a lush and exotic picture-book location between magnificent Cook’s Bay and Opunohu Bay. It is the perfect realisation of a South Seas fantasy. Here the outside world fades quickly as you relax in a private bungalow rising above a spectacular 10-acre lagoon, with a glorious white-sand beach on one side and a rugged mountain skyline dominating the other. Imaginatively conceived to complement its beautiful natural surroundings, Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort & Spa provides a selection of gourmet dining options and leisure activities – ranging from a variety of water sports to an exclusive Mandara Spa that offers a variety of select treatments to help guests relax and rejuvenate. Guests can visit the Opunohu valley by 4×4, rent cars or scooters, or enjoy a circle island tour at your own pace.
Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort And Spa
Finely decorated in a Polynesian style and exotic woods:
The lavish Garden Superior, located in the middle of luxurious tropical gardens, close to the azure lagoon of the island of Moorea, and Beach Bungalows are rich in exotic woods and feature Polynesian décor touches. They all offer classic claw-foot bathtub and outdoor shower, terrace (or deck in over-water bungalows with access into the lagoon), ceiling fan, LCD satellite television with CD/DVD-player. Over-water Bungalows (Lagoon/Horizon) are connected by winding, wooden walkways built on stilts over the lagoon. The window to the ocean is a glass panel in the lavish wood floor and it provides a glimpse into the perpetual ballet of multi-coloured fish, by day or night. A ladder drops from your landing into the warm lagoon, should you feel tempted to join them for a swim!

Restaurants & Bars:
Located near the swimming pool and the beach, the Rotui Bar & Grill provides a casual, waterfront option for lunch, as well as the perfect setting to enjoy refreshing exotic drinks all afternoon. Rotui serves elaborate platters of fresh vegetables and tropical fruits, capturing the flavours indigenous to the island.
The Arii Vahine Restaurant at Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort & Spa provides yet another delightful over-water experience for Hilton guests, for breakfast and dinner. The menu tempts the palate with French, American and other international gourmet creations like poisson cru (fresh fish marinated in coconut milk), grilled barrimundi (a local favourite) and lobster. The restaurant’s signature dessert is an award-winning coconut soufflé.
Should you feel disinclined to venture from the comforts of your room or bungalow, room service will be happy to bring you breakfast, lunch, or dinner as you contemplate the lagoon and Moorea’s volcanic peaks from your terrace. Special theme nights and Polynesian Shows are scheduled throughout the week.
The Eimeo (Sunset) Bar, adjacent to the Arii Vahine Restaurant, offers a stunning panoramic view, classic and island cocktails, and expert barmen who are more than happy to make a recommendation from their extensive list of fine wines and Champagnes. A musical trio provides sunset serenades beginning at 6:00 pm. every evening. The Toata Bar – named after an island coral – is a memorable place to spend an afternoon or evening. Built over a natural aquarium, it appears to ‘float’ on water like an ‘infinity’ pool… with a sweeping view over the lagoon and Moorea’s majestic peaks. The Toata Bar is open between 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm and only open during the months of June through October.
