Sofitel Moorea Ia Ora Beach Resort

Located on Moorea’s finest white sand beach (on the island's north east coast) and fringed by a turquoise lagoon with Moorea’s lush and mountainous scenery forming a glorious backdrop, it is hard to imagine a more idyllic setting – in fact, there are many who say that this hotel has by far the best location on the island!

Re-opened in November 2006 following a major refurbishment, Sofitel Moorea Ia Ora Beach Resort has re-invented itself with a contemporary and stylish ‘new-look’! As you would expect, the 39 overwater bungalows each boast a private deck with direct access to the lagoon – and you can also view the colourful underwater life through the bungalow’s glass panel in the floor! The other 56 bungalows are located either on the beachfront or amidst the tropical gardens laced with frangipani and ylang-ylang – and each features a delightful indoors/outdoors shower, as well as a kingsize bed and air-conditioning.

The hotel has a magnificent freshwater swimming pool, a Spa and tennis courts – plus a variety of activities including snorkelling, scuba-diving, kayaking and sailing. Moorea is arguably one of the most dramatic islands in the South Pacific –known for its verdant mountains, cascading waterfalls and sparkling lagoons – so it is well worth taking the time to do some exploring!

Enjoy fabulous cuisine in the hotel’s choice of restaurants – ‘K’ and ‘Pure’ – and round off each day with an exotic cocktail at the ‘Vue’ bar whilst admiring yet another perfect sunset!
