Full accommodation information

Holidays in French Polynesia are all about relaxing, taking in jaw-dropping views and enjoying the very best hospitality. Enjoy all of this to the highest degree at Hotel Sofitel Kia Ora Moorea Beach Resort, a chic and upscale hotel that enjoys a prime location.

The resort enjoys access to a pristine stretch of white sand, an impossibly turquoise lagoon and fantastic tropical landscapes. The sandy beach here is outstanding, while the lagoon here is one of the best on the island and offers fantastic snorkelling opportunities. This is a top spot for photography buffs, with chic bungalows, beautiful surroundings and views to Tahiti.

Fit in some well-deserved ‘me time’ at Le Jardin Spa & Beauty; the treatment menu blends local ingredients and traditional essential oils. Elsewhere in the resort find two scenic bars, two gourmet restaurants serving up local delicacies, international favourites and the freshest ingredients.

If you can tear yourself away from your luxurious accommodation – bungalows are found either on the beach, in the tropical greenery, on the lagoon shore or overwater – there is a host of cultural and adventure activities and excursions waiting to be explored; those celebrating a special occasion might opt for a romantic dining experience, while more adventurous types can take to the water on a jet ski.

Hotel Sofitel Moorea Ia Ora Beach Resort’s 113 bungalows are scattered throughout verdant tropical gardens, on the beach, and around and on the waters of the crystal-clear lagoon. Amenities include complimentary spring water, air-conditioning, mini-bars and complimentary Wifi. A baby cot is available upon request. Select bungalows are wheelchair accessible.
