InterContinental Tahiti Resort & Spa

Set in lush tropical gardens just two kilometers from the international airport, InterContinental Tahiti Resort & Spa is an idyllic way to begin or end a honeymoon in French Polynesia. The resort faces the island of Moorea across the water, and the sunsets from its pools and overwater bungalows are unforgettable.

Spend a night in a bungalow over the lagoon, swim in two infinity pools, snorkel in the resort’s own Lagoonarium and enjoy an evening of Tahitian dance over dinner. Whether you are just married or celebrating an anniversary, the staff will look after your every need.

The resort’s rooms overlook either the tropical gardens or the lagoon and ocean beyond. Classic, Premium and Premium Deluxe Rooms each have a private terrace, and Junior Suites add more space.

For a honeymoon, we recommend going over the water:

•  Overwater Bungalow Moorea View – A bungalow above the lagoon with a terrace facing Moorea.

•  Overwater Premium Bungalow Moorea View – One of eight bungalows around the resort’s private motu, beside the main pool and Lagoonarium, with an extra-large terrace.

•  Overwater Villa Moorea View – The largest overwater option, with a 30 m² terrace.

Te Tiare Restaurant, the main restaurant, serves Polynesian and international dishes from breakfast onward and hosts the resort’s Polynesian dinner shows, with a buffet and traditional dancing. Le Lotus is the resort’s gastronomic restaurant, serving French cuisine over the water at lunch and dinner. It is the perfect choice for an intimate evening.

For drinks, choose between the swim-up bar at the Le Lotus pool, the Tiki Bar with live music, Huriama Garden for tapas and cocktails under the banana trees, and the Lobby Bar Terrace for sunset views.

The resort has two freshwater infinity pools. The sand-bottomed Le Lotus pool has a swim-up bar, a Jacuzzi and views of Moorea, and the newer Te Tiare pool is larger still. The Lagoonarium is a natural aquarium with more than 200 species, and you can join a visit to the sea turtle care center run with the association Te mana o te moana.

There are tennis and padel courts, a jogging track through the gardens and a fitness center open 24 hours a day. The resort’s dive center offers scuba diving, and snorkeling, kayaking and jet skiing are also available. The tour desk can arrange island excursions by land, sea and air.

The resort’s Algotherm spa offers massages and treatments for one or two.
