Kia Ora Rangiroa Aerial View

Contemplate the lagoon that stretches all the way to the horizon:

Largest of the Tuamotu Island atolls, Rangiroa is an hour’s flight from Tahiti, with a lagoon 50 miles long by 22 miles wide famed worldwide for its diving.  Here, amid the brilliant white beaches and turquoise lagoon waters, is the setting for Hotel Kia Ora – an island retreat offering scuba, snorkelling and fishing in idyllic conditions.  Canoe to other islands, look for dolphins or simply relax in your hammock!  Recently renovated, this gem of a hotel has an infinity pool, charming restaurant and serene gardens for a true Crusoe experience.

Hotel Kia Ora features a cluster of sixty-three traditionally-styled bungalows positioned along the coral ring of the atoll, a sight of rare beauty.  The walkways end on the radiant white sandy beach where the turquoise lagoon seems to play a soft melody.  You can enjoy tranquil moments of peace from the private terraces of each bungalow – Garden, Beach (with private whirlpool or swimming pool on the terrace) and Overwater Bungalows – all air-conditioned and fan-cooled, with shower and mini-fridge.

Kia Ora Rangiroa Beach Bungalow

A slice of paradise, Polynesian-style:

Aspiring to be as refined and exotic as the chef’s menu, the decoration of Te Rairoa Restaurant must be noted.  The chef has managed to subtly marry the traditional Polynesian dishes, which are appreciated for their tropical tastes with menus that give French cuisine its reputation.  Te Rairoa Restaurant features a wide variety of flavours to cater for everyone.  Amongst these suggested delicacies to savour – the seafood and grilled fish specialities.  Spread across a large table, an enormous variety of desserts are prepared by the Pastry Chef.  Connoisseurs of fine wine will be seduced by the ‘Carte des Vins’.  Polynesian nights are held every Wednesday and Sunday with singing and dancing shows along with the traditional Polynesian feast.

The originality of the Miki Miki Bar constructed above the water is a suitable excuse to meet up with friends for an exotic cocktail as well as to admire the extraordinary sun setting over the Rangiroa lagoon.  The terrace of the bar, with its glass floorboards, allows you to gaze at the marine life during the day and even at night.

Kia Ora Rangiroa Swimming Pool

One of the most beautiful diving sites in the world:

Rangiroa is one of the most beautiful diving sites in the world.  Scuba diving at the Hotel Kia Ora is adapted to suit everyone.  There are three excursions per day for three different levels.

The Initiation Dive near Nohi Nohi lagoon is five minutes from the Tiputa Pass.  About three metres deep, this is a calm diving spot full of live coral and colourful fish – clown, butterfly, angel and ballista fish.  The Readjustment Dive features diving at a depth of 15 metres where you will be able to feed the fish underwater as well as see the live coral formations.  You’re also welcome to take underwater photography.  Deep Sea Diving is for advanced divers!  A 25-metre deep dive led by an instructor and fully equipped with all the safety gear.  Night diving is also available on request.

On the white sandy beach, the Beauty Salon is truly a little paradise of exquisiteness – a place to relax and unwind with a facial or an essential oils massage.

FRENCH POLYNESIA

There could hardly be a corner of the world further removed from the everyday than the South Pacific islands of French Polynesia.  Over 25,000 of them lie scattered here across the ocean in a vivid green-and-gold jigsaw – the magic of their extravagant beauty and beguiling mood inspiration for Gauguin, Stevenson and countless many more.

Radisson Plaza Resort Pool Night

French Polynesia’s archipelagos form a spectacular chain of 115 rugged volcanic islands and coral atolls.  The largest, volcanic in origin, are divided by emerald green valleys clothed in dense rainforests.  They push skywards almost sheer from the ocean, framed by seas of improbable blue, sparkling invitingly within their own protective necklace of coral.

Here the warm breezes of the tropics carry the heady perfumes of brilliantly coloured flowers, exotic fruits and spices that flourish amid these benign temperatures.  Feathery palms, white sand coral beaches, seas of dazzling turquoise and cobalt blue and coral reefs rich in colourful marine life add their own assault on the senses.

Largest and most developed of the Society Islands archipelago is Tahiti, which combines the unmistakeable ambience of the South Seas with the no less indelible style and chic of a former French colony – while, just 12 miles away, is Moorea, a vision of James Michener’s mythical Bali Hai, with jagged mountain peaks, stunning bays, lagoons and pristine beaches.  Bora Bora, 150 miles north-west, lies amid the bluest of lagoons, with a filigree of tiny coral-reef-ringed atolls.  Its ‘neighbours’ include timeless Huahine-Nui, Taha’a and Raiatea whilst Manihi, Tikehau, Fakarava and Rangiroa in the Tuamotu Atoll, are yet more remote desert island havens.  Make this dream destination a reality for you!

Nomade Yachting by Bora Bora Cruises:

How better to explore the exotic South Seas world of Tahiti and her islands, than aboard a romantic ‘boutique cruise’.  The Society Islands’  waters offer spectacular cruising grounds – never more so than when your cruise vessel is of a custom-designed luxury yacht.  The superb yachts ‘Tu Moana’ and ‘Tia Moana’ of Bora Bora Cruises offer you a 7-day/6-night circular Tahitian voyage of discovery through the lagoons of Bora Bora, Taha’a, Raiatea and Huahine with a relaxing programme of water sports, leisure activities and à la carte menu; of optional shore excursions – from jet ski island tours, scuba-diving and shark feeding.  The luxurious amenities on board include a panoramic restaurant, two bars, sundeck, two Jacuzzis, library and fitness suite.

Star Flyer Cruises:

Star Flyer French Polynesia

Further island-hopping cruises can be included in a tailor-made itinerary to suit your own schedule and requirements.  Star Flyer operates a series of scheduled 7, 10 or 11-night cruises around the Society Islands on a true mega-yacht sailing experience.  Although this unique vessel reflects its proud heritage in its gleaming brightwork and polished brass, it is a modern cruise ship in every way, created for luxury-loving passengers who also seek the tradition and romance of the legendary era of sailing ships.  By day enjoy the many water sports activities included, help with the sails or simply sit back and enjoy sailing.  By night, relax in the lounge, the Piano Bar or enjoy the locally flavoured entertainment.  Life aboard a Star Clipper cruise is blissfully relaxed and informal!

Island Hopping:

A journey to the South Seas demands a visit to more than just one Polynesian island.  ‘The Pearls of Polynesia’ is a relaxing island-hopping itinerary with excellent diving opportunities featuring the idyllic islands of Moorea, Bora Bora and Tikehau in the Tuamotu Atoll for an enchanting stay at Tikehau Pearl Beach Resort – heavenly!

Tikehau Pearl Beach Resort Swimming Pool

From jade green to purple lagoons – it almost defies belief.  Come see and believe in the ‘Gems of Polynesia’ itinerary featuring Moorea, Bora Bora and Rangiroa in the Tuamotu Atoll.  Warm water and amazing visibility – a diving experience above the rest in ‘Divers Paradise’, an extension of ‘Gems of Polynesia’, itinerary featuring Fakarava – teeming with marine life and a number of dive sites still virtually untouched!

Finally, ‘The Society Islands Par Excellence’ – la crème de la crème of Polynesian hospitality and luxury.  Four exquisite nights in Bora Bora following by a 6-night Bora Bora cruise around the Society Islands.  Then enjoy an exhilarating helicopter ride to Le Taha’a Island & Spa for pure relaxation – 4 nights of absolute bliss!

Stopover Plus – USA + French Polynesia:

An ideal option is to combine your trip to French Polynesia with a fabulous stopover in the USA for a worthy ‘city break’.  Options include the stylish ultra-bold post modern Mondrian in Los Angeles with its location on fabled Sunset Boulevard, the spectacular Bellagio in Las Vegas or the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco, in the heart of the city, a short stroll from Union Square and Fisherman’s Wharf.

An appealing Polynesian resort experience:

Situated on the coral reef Motu Piti Aau (Two Hearts) with a private 1,000 ft white-sand beach is one of Bora Bora’s true luxury resorts and the first to feature only overwater villas.  Its superlative accommodation is matched only by simply stunning lagoon vistas, providing a romantic setting of almost surreal beauty.  We recommend the glorious Sapphire and Diamond Overwater Villas for their great views over the lagoon – one from which no self-indulgent would-be Robinson Crusoe would want to be rescued!  Its contemporary design and cutting-edge technology meshes with traditional authentic local arts and crafts.  In such an idyllic setting, the Thalasso Spa by Algotherm, creates a magical spa experience – French Polynesia’s first destination spa – using the thalasso therapeutic regimen of deep seawater’s curative benefits and innovative signature treatments – there are a whole range of packages to suit everyone.  The resort also offers a magnificent freshwater infinity pool, two restaurants and bars, tennis courts, many water sports and a helicopter pad.
