The exclusive retreat of Tahitian royalty for centuries, Tetiaroa is certainly fit for a king. There is a collection of one, two- and three-bedroom villas all spacious and open, with a private pool and outdoor beach area. Elegantly decorated, implementing the island décor into its design, they are the perfect boho beach base. For more seclusion or a romantic escape, stay in the residences. Completely hidden in their own nest of rainforest and with a private beach reaching down to the shores of the lagoon. With a varied mix of outdoor and indoor living spaces you can live the alfresco castaway life with all the modern luxuries. If you opt for a private residence you still have full access to all the spectacular resort amenities, such as the Varua Te Ora Polynesian Spa. With multiple restaurants to choose from across the island you will rarely be eating the same thing twice. Fine-dining restaurants inspired by Polynesian fare and east/west fusion combine fresh ingredients grown in their gardens and orchards with the fresh fish from the Polynesian waters. There is also a vegan restaurant and a teppanyaki restaurant for a journey into Japanese flavors.
