Cultural Activities

Polynesian handicrafts are known for their extreme sophistication. Polynesian craftsman (or "mama") creates hats, baskets and mats with pandanus and coconut tree leaves. All items showcasing their skills and dexterity.

InterContinental Resorts lets you discover the cultural treasures of French Polynesia...We organize various demonstrations focused on the local handicraft such as pareu dyeing demonstration, tifaifai quilt making demonstration, flower and shell lei making demonstration and basket weaving demonstration.

Pareo or Pareu is very important in daily Polynesian life, as much for men as for women who can tie this kind of sarong in a thousand and one ways.

Monoi oil has an important role in the Polynesian life, during traditional rituals, for its medical properties or for body and hair beauty treatment. In order to avoid mosquitoes the InterContinental Resorts advise you to cover yourself with monoi oil.

Tifaifai: hand sewn bedspreads displaying mostly vegetal patters. The tifaifai is a traditional wedding present.

Nothing's higher than the coconut palms in our low rise Polynesian-style resort of 263 rooms, suite and overwater bungalows.

To make you feel you're in Tahiti, all accommodations are attractively decorated in a tasteful and relaxing Colonial Polynesian theme.

Garden View Rooms
There are 78 of these rooms of the same size and decor as the Ocean View Rooms. They are named for their location at garden level, although most of them have at least a partial view of the water. They have twin or king size beds in their 307 sq ft (28.5 sq m) rooms plus terraces. They are our most keenly priced accommodations. Maximum Occupancy: 2 Guests.

Ocean View Rooms
Cosy and spacious 307 sq ft (28.5 sq. m) rooms and private balconies, the 92 rooms have a combined configuration of twin and king size bed. They are grouped around the central core of the hotel and all have views across the lagoon to the reef and the ocean beyond. Maximum Occupancy: 2 Guests.

Panoramic View Rooms
At the secluded end of the resort are our largest rooms in two buildings with just 30 rooms each, all with magnificent panoramic views over the exquisite Lotus infinity pool, the lagoon and across the Sea of Moons to Moorea. They have King or twin Queen beds and measure a spacious 414 sq ft (38.5 sq m) without counting the balcony. These rooms, along with our overwater bungalows, are the top choice of many honeymooners. Maximum Occupancy: 2/4 Guests.

Overwater Bungalows Motu
Overwater bungalows, modeled after traditional Polynesian houses called fare, are perhaps the most romantic and certainly the most intimate of our accommodations. They are roofed in traditional pandanus leaves and situated on stilts over the lagoon itself. They all have sundecks and platforms from where you can step off directly into the lagoon waters for swimming or snorkeling or to contemplate the sunset.

Motu is the Tahitian word for an islet, and it's around our own little motu that we built 17 overwater bungalows. The motu is situated directly on the lagoon, in front of the Lagoonarium, the main pool and the central resort complex. It's a little heaven of peace and tranquility.

These bungalows measure 328 sq ft (30.5 sq m) plus sundecks and platforms and their bamboo decor creates a definite feeling of Polynesia. Maximum Occupancy: 2 Guests.
