Description
The Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort & Spa is the perfect place to unwind. Nestled between two bays on the heart shaped island of Moorea, it is on the island's most beautiful beach with a backdrop of the lush mountain range.
The outside world fades quickly as you relax in your private, air-conditioned bungalow nestled amongst the tropical gardens or rising above the spectacular lagoon. All the bungalows are finely decorated in Polynesian style and are just steps from the beach.
Dine in one of the resort's refined restaurants, Arii Vahine for Polynesian delicacies such as fresh fish marinated in coconut milk or grilled barramundi or lobster, Rotui Bar and Grill for beachside platters of salads and exotic fruits. Toatea Bar is built over a natural aquarium and the waters beneath you as you sip your cocktail are teeming with tropical underwater life.
Exotic treatments are available at the Moorea Lagoon Spa, created from the 100% organic natural resources of the surrounding islands such as precious barks and exotic fruits. When not lounging on the beach or by the infinity pool, explore the island by boat, feed the sharks and rays or take a 4WD trip across the lush terrain, finding a secluded spot for an indulgent picnic en route.
