Description
The InterContinental Resort & Spa Moorea undoubtedly boasts one of the most magnificent settings on the north west coastline of Moorea. It is located in the heart of a two-acre estate, nestled in lush surroundings of deep greens and intense blues, with the magnificent Moorea Peaks as a backdrop.
You will find spacious bungalows amongst the tropical gardens, at the edge of the beach or over the turquoise waters of the lagoon. All are decorated in traditional Polynesian style, using natural timbers and locally made bedspreads and cushions.
The resort has two restaurants where you can enjoy gourmet cuisine or relaxed dining around the poolside. The hotel caters for the romantic and athletic alike, with a wide range of water sports including snorkelling and scuba diving, as well as the Dolphin Quest where all ages can share the lagoon waters with these magical creatures. For those who wish to be pampered, the resort’s Helene Spa is the first spa in French Polynesia to use natural and Polynesian products. There is also a ‘Kids Club' for children aged 4-10 years.
