InterContinental Resort & Spa, Moorea

Nestled on a pristine white sand beach flanked by Moorea’s deep green mountains, this luxurious 143 room retreat boasts stylish accommodation, a serene setting, and a wealth of facilities. Choose from one of 50 air-conditioned Lanai Rooms in the resort’s main building – or one of the stylish and spacious Polynesian style bungalows which are located either in the garden, on the beach, or over the lagoon, and boast a large balcony, sitting room, separate bedroom and a bathroom. Beautifully decorated using natural timbers, all the bungalows are air-conditioned with the addition of ceiling fans in the sitting room and bedroom. The premium beach bungalows benefit from the best beach location, whilst the premium overwater bungalows offer greater privacy.

The resort has two restaurants – Fare Nui where you can enjoy gourmet cuisine with magical lagoon views – and the more relaxed Fare Hana which offers all day dining by the poolside. Also located at the hotel, the ‘Moorea Dolphin Centre’ provides a unique opportunity to both observe and swim with bottlenose dolphins (advance booking is highly recommended). A variety of watersports including waterskiing, snorkelling, scuba diving and glass bottom boat rides are also available. For those wishing to be pampered, the resort's wonderful Hélène Spa uses only natural and Polynesian products.

Although larger than our other properties on Moorea, this is the perfect choice for those seeking stylish accommodation and an array of facilities. The drive from the airport takes 25 minutes.
