English Discover an exclusive hideaway paradise...

An island resort for only a few privileged guests, Vahine Island is located in one of the still untouched blue lagoons of French Polynesia. By design, construction is limited to three overwater bungalows on the lagoon and six beach bungalows (including 3 suites) hidden among coconut trees, multicolored hibiscus and bougainvillae. The architecture of local woods and bamboos achieves a complete integration with the environment.

Only a step away from Tahiti and Bora Bora, three daily flights with Air Tahiti are available from Tahiti Faaa International Airport (35 minutes) or from Bora Bora (10 minutes) to the Raiatea Airport, where we will greet you and bring you by comfortable speed boat over the lagoon to Vahine Island (25 minutes). As a special treat, indulge yourself into an helicopter service which will fly you from Bora Bora or from Raiatea to Vahine Island in less than 10 minutes.

Choose from a variety of activities, excursions, and sports... or just quietly relax

Each guest receives personal attention from our staff who is available to meet all your needs and to assist you in our various sports activities: windsurfing, funboard, sailing, snorkeling... You may also choose among several excursions including a catamaran cruise to Bora-Bora, scuba diving, big game fishing, or a jeep safari on nearby Tahaa Island. If you like to discover by yourself the small islets or "motu" of the lagoon, we provide a motor canoe with a picnic lunch.

And enjoy our exotic cuisine and drinks

The culinary preparations are a delicate mix of local seafood and exotic flavors with the delicate touch of a French Chef highly awarded by Gault-Millau.

French Ile-Vanille....Ile Bonheur

C'est à quelques 10 heures de vol de Los Angeles, à 18.000 km de Paris, 9.000 km de Tokyo ou 5.OOO km de Sydney.... mais de VAHINE ISLAND vous en aurez fait le tour en moins de trente minutes. C'est un petit bout de terre de 4 hectares à peine, un ailleurs qui Photo of Beach Chair semble bien inaccessible mais où chacun est maître de son temps.

Comme quoi le Paradis peut s'avérer bien petit mais aussi se faire mériter.

Quant à votre budget...."Few treasures come cheap"..... Et puis quand on aime, on ne compte pas. L'on conte !

Pour ce qui est de l’accueil et de la cuisine vous serez, à n’en point douter, parfaitement comblés. Marie-Laure n’a pas sa pareille tant elle est simple et chaleureuse dans sa manière élégante de vous recevoir en compagnie de son mari Gérard. Un Chef esthète du goût et passionné du produit, dont Gault-Millau disait alors : « On aime le travail de cet artisan qui donne le sentiment de venir partager ses premières émotions culinaires ».

La Polynésie (du grec "polys" et "nesos" : les îles nombreuses) est un territoire marin d'environ 350 îles. Un triangle quatre fois plus vaste que l'Europe délimité par Hawaii au nord,la Nouvelle-Zélande au sud,les Tonga à l'ouest.

La partie française se compose de 118 îles ou îlots avec TAHITI, "The island of love", MOOREA, l'image quasi synthétique de l'Eden et, pour centre mythique, le groupe des îles Sous-le-Vent :
- HUAHINE la magique, aux décors inoubliables du mont Turi
- BORA BORA la mythique...mais la plus touristique
- RAIATEA la sacrée, partage avec sa voisine Tahaa le même somptueux
lagon et cache une fleur unique au monde, le "tiare apetahi" qui éclot à l'aurore sur le mont Temehani - TAHAA enfin, posée sur les eaux comme une grande feuille morte, au profil sauvage et envoûtant, où flotte dans l'air le parfum permanent de la vanille, puissant et enivrant....

Cette " île-vanille " ne se livre réellement qu'aux initiés, mais c'est ici, à 220 km de Tahiti, face à Hipu, sur ce " Motu Tuuvahine " posé sur la barrière de corail que Bernard Isautier a créé de toutes pièces quelques superbes farés de charme aux noms de femmes maoris, ces délicieuses vahinés : Hina, Reva, Tea ou Maeva....

VAHINE ISLAND est maintenant devenu l'un des meilleurs "hideaways" en plein coeur du Pacifique.

Car ici pas de contrainte. A peine posé le pied à terre, l'île vous appartient. Vous êtes (presque) seuls au monde. Et il vous sera bien difficile de réprimer un petit serrement de coeur en reprenant le bateau qui éloigne de cette " île-bonheur ".
