Our favourite rooms
All nine standalone bungalows are decked out in simple, romantic Polynesian island style with seductive terrace views over the lagoon towards Tahaa or distant Bora Bora. For the most space and privacy, bag one of the Beach Suites, which are twice the size of the standard Beach Bungalows and sport a separate lounge and second terrace overlooking the coconut grove. If you want to be out in the lagoon, the three Overwater Bungalows offer killer views and an aquarium table for ogling subaqua action.
Poolside
There's no swimming pool at Vahine but with a lagoon this alluring you won't care.
Spa
You’ll find Fare Spa on motu Miki Miki, neighbouring motu Tuvahine; it has an open-air massage room next to a crystal-clear lagoon, with views of the neighbouring isle.
Packing tips
Reef shoes, a rash shirt and reef-safe suncream (you won't be allowed in with regular suncream) for aquatic larks; your tune-loaded iPod for sunlounger sessions.
Children
The hotel welcomes children from 10 years old in the Beach Bungalow and Beach Suite, and from 12 years old in the Overwater Bungalow. An extra bed or sofa bed can be made up in the Beach Suit for €92.
