Like a pearl hidden in its oyster, Le Tikehau sits on a private motu. Its 33 bungalows and suites are built with natural materials, the overwater units are set on a translucent lagoon.

We recently stayed at the newly renovated Le Pearl at Tikehau, and let’s just say—it’s the kind of place that spoils all future vacations. The hotel is still undergoing renovations, but honestly, you’d barely notice. There’s no noise or disturbance at all, just a wonderfully tranquil vibe. With only part of the property open, it feels like your own private island getaway. We saw maybe 15-20 people total during our stay, making it delightfully peaceful.
We had the chance to try out the overwater bungalows, which are freshly updated and absolutely breathtaking. Some offer direct access to the lagoon from your private deck—a true bucket-list experience. We also stayed in a beach bungalow, offering a private beach just steps from the shore. Both types of bungalows are beautifully renovated with sleek interiors, offering a luxurious and comfortable stay.
If we had to pick a favorite, overwater Bungalow #7 is the ultimate choice. It offers the most privacy and an unbeatable view of the sunset. Whether you choose a bungalow with or without lagoon access, the interiors are identical—so it really comes down to personal preference.
The renovations throughout the hotel are top-notch. From the chic bar and restaurant to the beautiful infinity pool that seems to merge with the lagoon, everything has been designed with care. The staff? Absolutely lovely—warm, attentive, and eager to make every moment special.
Now, let’s talk about the food. Breakfast is a dream: fresh pastries, bread, brioche, fruits, eggs—you name it. It’s a buffet that doesn’t feel like a buffet (yes, it’s that good). Lunch and dinner are equally exceptional. Hats off to the chef for crafting refined dishes featuring fresh, local fish. For such an isolated location, the quality of the meals is mind-blowing. Even the cocktails at the bar are thoughtfully crafted—no generic drinks here. The barman was so friendly and added a personal touch to the experience.
Getting there was seamless.
This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking, and free Wifi. The spacious bed and breakfast includes a fully equipped kitchenette with an oven and a microwave, as well as a kettle.
Located on a private island, the waterfront Hakamanu Lodge offers rooms with a private balcony overlooking the lagoon. Guests enjoy free kayaking and snorkeling equipment.

This was a really cute place to stay located directly on the beach (west side of the island). If visiting tikehau, we’d highly recommend this place to stay. It’s a small unit, but clean and accommodating. The cost was fair and the hosts were incredible. Very nice people!!!
The island itself was beautiful, very, very remote. I’d highly recommend bringing a cooler of food and a couple bottles of wine on the plane with you. ;)

The location is stunning, with lovely views and excellent swimming just outside the door. Plenty of privacy and quiet. Christiane had stocked the bungalow with yummy breakfast food and while unobtrusive, she was extremely helpful throughout our stay. The bed and bathroom were very nice. Best of all was Christiane's hospitality. We felt pampered and so lucky to be able to enjoy her bungalow, her peerless hospitality, and the sheer magic of Tikehau.

Everything here is out of this world. I gave some other properties a 10, but this one worth more than that.
Just go there and enjoy. The ocean, the lagoon, the simplicity, the silence, the waves, the nature and I could go on and on.
It’s a very small dot on this planet, so don’t go there with 5* hotel expectation, but with 100* experiences.
You will find a confortable and spacious space, very clean and you will find people. With heart, with empaty, smiling and singing, living their lifes.

It is an amazing place with a very friendly, kind and helpfull landlord couple.
A greate view of the lagoon in first row and wind that is very importend, cause it is so hot there. You can use the bicycle to go to the nearest supermarket, that is 5 minutes away by bicycle.
Good dive base with a pick up and back service( Tikehau Diving).
And of course we will come back.
The location is remote but beautiful. The staff is quite helpful, the lodge basically does not communicate on email but through booking.com it went well. They were very accommodating with requests. Food was very good. We recommend it, especially for a great price. Only downside is it is 30 minute boat ride to go to scuba. Tikehau diving comes out for pickups.
The bungalow decorated beautifully! Right on the prettiest beach in the village… Christiane is super nice, unfortunately she wasn’t at Tikehau while our stay so we couldn’t taste her food which we read is great but she was available to us when we needed…
