Tikehau: Fafarua Lodge Private Island

Five days, all inclusive, on a private island in the Tikehau atoll. Fafarua, the Manta Ray, is a motu of six hectares of coconut grove about 30 minutes by boat from the village, with a single three-bedroom Polynesian villa for up to eight guests, let to one couple or group at a time.

A private chef cooks French-Polynesian food with local fish, and a boat and driver are at your disposal. Tikehau is known for pink-sand beaches, bird colonies and a lagoon rich in fish, 55 minutes by air from Tahiti.
