Celebrate the festive season at Le Taha'a
At Le Taha'a, time seems to move differently. Between the lagoon and the lush vegetation of its private motu, life follows the rhythm of the water, the turn from day into night, and the quiet moments shared together.
Here, contemplation is part of the journey. In the open-air fare, on the terraces of the bungalows or beneath the star-filled sky after a festive dinner, every setting invites you to linger, to look upwards and, simply, to be present.
The property
Le Taha'a
On an island where the scent of vanilla lingers in the air, Le Taha'a, a Relais & Châteaux member, places the art of hospitality at its heart. A welcome deeply Polynesian in spirit — generous, unassuming, sincere — where every gesture carries meaning.
The spirit of Polynesian voyaging is woven into the resort, from its entrance shaped like an upturned pirogue to the Polynesian Village, where island traditions — flower crowns, the rhythm of the toere, the making of monoi — are passed from one generation to the next.
During the festive season, Le Taha'a offers a different way to celebrate: one that leaves room for discovery, for gathering, and for time to simply unfold.
Experience the islands of Tahiti for the Festive Season
From the turquoise stillness of Bora Bora’s lagoon to Taha’a’s vanilla-scented valleys and the pale sands of Tikehau, the festive season unfolds across French Polynesia. A time for gathering, for island ritual, for evenings that stretch beneath an open sky.
Society Islands
Le Bora Bora
An evening beneath Bora Bora’s stars, a table set for the season, Polynesian dance drifting through the warm air, and music lingering long after dinner.
Tuamotus
Le Tikehau
Beneath Tikehau’s stars, a table is set for the season — a quiet celebration shaped by the stillness of the Tuamotus and the flavours of the islands.
