Te Moana Tahiti Resort (Punaauia, French Polynesia)

Situated in a very convenient position on Tahiti’s western shore, Manava Suite Resort is within minutes of terrific snorkelling and diving, and offers luxury resort-like accommodation. Rooms range in size from standard to one bedroom villas, but all are sleek and modern, with lovely Polynesian accents. Each features, private balcony, air conditioning, flat screen TV and tea/coffee stations. The bigger villas also have a fully equipped kitchenette. The star feature at Manava Suites is undoubtedly its infinity pool and terrace. The pool seemingly blends with the Pacific, and the terrace is the perfect spot to watch the sunset. There is also a full gym and spa available. The Vaitohi Restaurant offers delectable cuisine from the Pacific Rim and beyond, while there are also lounge and pool bars for when a toast is called for. The main attractions must surely be the resort itself and the many watersports offered by the hotel and concessionaires.
