"The Serene Vahine Private Island Resort Technically part of Tahaa in French Polynesia , Vahine Private Island Resort is an escape from reality. The hotel features three beach bungalows, three self-contained beach suites and three overwater bungalows, all with beach views and designed using only natural materials in such a way as to make you feel like you're in a traditional Polynesian home. Moreover, the resort is set on a 23-acre private island lush with coconut trees and white sand beach. Snorkel in their vibrant coral gardens, kayak to nearby motus or to natural sting-ray pools, take in a coconut show, learn how to tie a pareo or weave palm leaves, paddle a traditional Polynesian outrigger canoe or take an excursion to the nearby mainland of Tahaa (the "Vanilla Island") or a private motu. Guests love their food and beverage program, with French dishes crafted using local cuisine and cocktails infused with local fruits and juices. Tip: Don't leave without having a traditional massage with scented Monoi oil on your deck, where you'll hear nothing but the billowing palms and gentle crashing of waves."

"There are luxe private islands, then there are adventure-centric private islands, and Vahine Private Island Resort near Raiatea offers the latter."

My husband and I recently spent 4 nights at Vahine Island during our 3 week trip to French Polynesia. We stayed in one of the overwater bungalows and enjoyed it immensely. |Our entire experience was phenomenal. During our boat ride from Uturoa, our driver slowed down to point out sharks and rays in the water. Our lunch order was taken so that it would be ready when we arrived. There were lots of excursions available for an additional cost but these were not pushed on us. |We stayed in one of three overwater bungalows and loved being able to swim and snorkel right off our deck. We had our own snorkel gear but there was gear available for us to use if we had needed it. There were kayaks and paddle boards available as well.|The staff was always available but never intrusive. |The food was excellent. We were presented the dinner menu at breakfast and we could ask for small changes to suit our taste. |The small, intimate nature of this resort (3 overwater bungalows and 6 beach bungalows) suited our travel preferences perfectly. We loved our experience!

There are places that feel like people. Places that are so vibrant they feel as though they have a soul. Vahine’s soul is made of glittering waters, gentle hospitality and a quiet intimacy.||There are places you’ve never lived but feel like a childhood home that you miss. I’ve never experienced anything like Vahine. I only stayed 4 nights here on my French Polynesian adventure and I feel a deep sense of sentimentality towards this island. I look forward to returning someday to this place that feels like home. ||I was worried that traveling solo as a woman I’d feel and be unsafe. This couldn’t be further from my experience here. I was well taken care of and felt safe at all times. ||I am vegetarian and of course coming to an island most of the cuisine is fish. However delicious custom meals without meat or fish were made for me every day. I appreciated this extra effort immensely. ||My favorite excursions were the sunset sailing and the pearl farm on tahaa. The sunset sailing was so serene and peaceful I had to do it twice. The pearl farm shows off natures treasures in such a beautiful way. Even simply walking around the island and listening to music in my earbuds or listening to Vahine’s sounds was magical. ||The crown of this island is the people. The staff are so unbelievably kind and accommodating. They are so warm and friendly and I couldn’t be more grateful to them for this. ||If you are considering coming here and you seek an escape from the hustle and bustle of more densely populated areas, I’d urge you to come. I’ve never felt so at peace in a place. You will have a beautiful experience here. ||Thank you so much to the team of Vahine for a lifelong memory!

What a piece of paradise! A true desert island hotel in a stunning setting on coral sands with great snorkeling. The staff are lovely and the food is great. Leaving Vahine Island is a wrench....

This tiny island paradise is exactly that! Totally unspoilt (as I’m sure the rest of the islands are). A very warm welcome awaits you as you step off your boat onto the island. With impeccable service you feel right at home as soon as you land. The waters around the island are nothing short of breathtaking. The food here is probably the best we have experienced in Tahiti. Vahine Island is blessed to have such fantastic chefs who concoct the most beautiful dishes for you on a daily basis - just delicious. |Cannot recommend highly enough that you visit this stunning island and the people who make your stay so special.

Amazing resort for people lokking for peace, beauty and kindness of Polynesian people. Everything was perfect, from the location to the service.|9 rooms on a wonderful private island, smiling service, reflecting all the beauty of French Polynesia on one place.|It was our second travel there and probably the best resort we never had.||One only (very) small flaw: food is somewhere too complicated, there is no point in doing "gastronomy" in a place like this, simpler and more “real polynesian” food would be an added value.

If you are looking for a relaxing couple or family getaway and don’t want to stay at a big-name hotel - this is a place to check out. Husband and I spent our 10th wedding anniversary here and it was absolutely wonderful. The staff members are very accommodating, polite, and helpful. They really made an effort to make us feel special: for our anniversary dinner we were seated right on the beach, had a candlelight dinner with champagne and flowers. I have not seen hospitality like that at big hotels unless you put in a special request. Vahine Resort staff did it for us as a surprise and it was very sweet. The whole resort is located on a private island so it is secluded and not crowded. It is about a 40-min boat ride from the Raiatea Airport. The ocean around the island is calm and it is definitely less humid than in Bora Bora. There are a total of six beach villas and 3 overwater villas. You also have an option to rent a room at the owner’s villa nearby. During our stay, there were 2 other couples/families at the resort, so it was definitely quiet and relaxing. Each villa has a 2-person hammock which we enjoyed greatly. The best feature of the beach villas is probably the sunsets. Nothing can beat the sunsets views. In terms of hotel activities, the staff will go out of their way to make sure you get to experience unique things. We did coconut shaving and took a Tahitian language lesson. The staff will also help with any boat reservations for snorkeling, coral garden visiting or a trip to the island of Taha’a which is 10 minutes away. The list of water activities is endless and the resort has all the equipment that you can use for free, including the water socks. Overall, I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking to experience the real Tahiti.

It is a unique place where simplicity is luxury. The kindness of the staff makes you stay special. It is secluded and total relaxation and disconnection are guaranteed. It is the perfect hotel to enjoy the sweetness of doing nothing. Great snorkeling in front of the bungalows. Food is excellent. You come ones and you just want to return!

We’ve just spent the most incredible 3 nights here. It’s just a little piece of heaven! The team is amazing and they really make sure you’re spending quality time. What surprised us the most is the quality of the food! Big thank you to Cecile, Amelie, Tiki and all the team. Christine, the GM, is overlooking everything very graciously. It was the highlight of our honeymoon!
