Manava Beach Resort & Spa Moorea, Moorea-Maiao

This traditional Polynesian hideaway sprawls across seven acres of gorgeous sandy beachfront, just two miles from magnificent Cook’s Bay.

You’ll find Manava Beach Resort tucked away on the northern tip of Moorea, a diver’s paradise where white sand beaches border crystalline lagoons and mountain slopes are covered in pineapple plantations.

Offering the perfect blend of luxury and tranquillity, this dreamy French Polynesian retreat is a great base for couples, honeymooners and families alike. Guests are free to choose from a range of spacious garden rooms, beachfront suites and romantic overwater villas, all decorated in a simple Polynesian style. Facilities include a serene spa, an infinity edge pool and two laidback bars, plus a restaurant where the flavours of France meet traditional Polynesian cuisine.

Manava has its own diving centre to help guests explore Moorea’s ocean depths, but you can also enjoy waterfall hikes, jeep excursions to ancient archaeological sites and horseback rides through the Opunohu Valley. Located near the bustling village of Maharepa, another highlight is easy access to the famous Cook’s Bay.
