The romantic city of Punaauia is full of attractions, such as Museum of Tahiti and the Islands and Vai'ava Beach, and is loved for its beaches and restaurants.
If you can't wait to get to the beach, you might enjoy a trip to Matira Beach located 2.2 mi (3.5 km) from central Bora Bora. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Nui Beach, Le Meridien Beach, and Moti Piti Aau Beach.
If you like the hustle and bustle of a market, you might want to head out to Papeete Market when visiting Papeete. Why not take a stroll along the beaches and watch the sunset while you're here?
You can spend an afternoon exploring the galleries in Robert Wan Pearl Museum during your travels in Pā'ōfa'i. Stroll along the seaside or visit the shops in this romantic area.
"Amazing location, so nice to have the beach right there. The room was comfortable and clean. The a/c was able to cool the common area of the bedroom door was left open and windows were closed. "
"Nicest OWB we have stayed in the French Polynesia! Staff was excellent and quite beautiful location. Only thing we would have changed a little was some additional lunch and dinner options at the restaurant. Food was excellent, breakfast included, just was looking for salads and more simple things.
Overall we would highly recommend Le Tikehau!

"This was an amazing property! Every detail carefully thought out and perfectly executed. The staff was amazing. We had the delightful experience of meeting with the General Manager, Laurent, who passionately described his vision for the property and future enhancements. We had a wonderful stay and can't wait to return!"
"We stayed on the second floor closest to the over water bungalows. The room was average to good, but unfortunately a pipe burst apparently somewhere so they shut off the water for two hours mid-morning without informing us. Thankfully no one was taking a shower or doing a number 2. There also was construction noise on the grounds to repair the pipe which woke us up early the first morning. The building next to us is undergoing a complete gutting and reno, but we didn't hear any noise from that direction. It does look a little worrisome at first when you pass by it as there's plywood boarding up areas and open doorways. It's not what we expected from a $1000/nite hotel I guess.
There are convenient shuttles available to take you to and from your room if needed, but you smell the exhaust riding in the back. Staff were generally pleasant. The view from our room was good of the pool, Moorea, and construction grader. The lagoon was very nice and full of fish swimming about. The buffet and dance show was good.
Proximity to the airport and cruise port is nice. The Lotus Michelin restaurant is good but a bit pricey. Overall there's not many luxury hotels right on the water in town, and with Tahiti's popularity I guess they can charge a premium for that. In hindsight maybe staying elsewhere and just getting a day pass at the Intercontinental probably would have been equally as fine."
