Tranquil and Private Beach Resort in Tahiti

Bora Bora , with a lagoon resembling an artist ' s palette of blues and greens, is love at first sight.

Honeymooners and romantics from around the world have laid claim to this island where the castle-like Mount Otemanu pierces the sky. Lush tropical slopes and valleys blossom with hibiscus, while palm-covered motu circle the lagoon like a delicate necklace. Perfect white-sand beaches give way to emerald waters where impossibly colored fish animate the coral gardens.

Sofitel Tahiti Maeva Beach Resort is located on the west coast of Tahiti, on a charming beach surrounded by tropical gardens. The resort, recently renovated, features 216 stylish, light filled rooms, each with a private balcony and many with spectacularviews over the mountains or across the lagoon toward the island of Moorea. Facilities include two excellent restaurants, a bar, two tennis courts, a golf driving range and a freshwater swimming pool.
