people, a place to be surrounded by a calmness that you might only

Experience luxury at its finest in our magical, lush, tropical surroundings.
Tucked away in a small bay on the island of Huahine, in Tahiti's Leeward
Islands, you will find Te Tiare Beach Resort.
The only access to our resort is by boat. After a short 35 minute
flight from Tahiti with the local air carrier, Air Tahiti, you will
be driven to Huahine's nearby main village of fare.
Along
the way, you will begin to discover Huahine's magnificent variety
of exotic plants. Vanilla, coffee, watermelon and taro plantations
abound, while breadfruit, mango, banana, and papaya groves may be
found throughout the Island. You may pass a local fisherman selling
his daily catch along the road.
While enjoying the 15 minute boat ride from the village to the resort,
through a breathtaking turquoise blue lagoon, you may catch glimpse
of some of the island's rich marine life.
Upon arrival at the resort, you will immediately discover just how
uniquely different Te Tiare Beach Resort really is.
