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.
Ninamu Resort features a garden, private beach area, a shared lounge and terrace in Tikehau. Among the various facilities are a bar, water sports facilities, as well as barbecue facilities.
Travelers who really want to “get away from it all” trust resorts to provide the pinnacle of all-inclusive relaxation. Resort guests are invited to enjoy communal on-site amenities like pools, spas, restaurants, activities, excursions, and shops, and stay the night in luxurious private rooms, villas, or apartments.
The location can’t be beat. We were right on the waters edge. I could see the sharks swimming in front of the resort. I loved the seclusion and the food was great too. The staff were also very accommodating.
