Tikehau Village

Top choice in The Tuamotus


You can’t argue with the location. It’s right on the beach, so your biggest worry is tracking sand into your bungalow. Beautiful views are augmented by simple yet well-appointed bungalows that are made from woven coconut thatch and other natural materials. The shady terraces look out over white-sand and turquoise-lagoon bliss. There are kayaks and bikes for guests’ use. Some English is spoken.

Facilities include a well-regarded restaurant and a dive centre.
