Lodges in The Tuamotu and Gambier Islands

"If you are looking for the ultimate secluded beach get away totally away from everything no cars roads or bikes..this is it. GILLIGANS ISLAND without the Skipper and Mary Ann! Nothing but untouched coast line and Palm trees. With that being Aotera Guest House offers very basic bungalows right on the stand steps away from the aqua blue sea. It is however no frills and very basic . No hot water or AC. But sometimes you have to give up the small luxuries in life if you cant afford the Conrad or Sofital and still seek absolute paradise! Far from it all the Captain will pick you up at the Marina and it is a 20 min boat ride to the Guest house. The food is ok to decent- Beer is available Beware if you walk down the beach. Along the way the only other property has doberman pincher dogs that have attacked toursists so be aware."

"Our stay at the resort was absolutely incredible from the moment we landed. We were greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality that instantly made us feel welcome. Every single staff member we encountered was exceptionally friendly — always acknowledging us with a cheerful hello and each time. The rooms were spotless, and we were especially impressed by how well everything functioned. The water pressure was strong, the water got very hot (in the best way), and the AC kept the room perfectly cool. We stayed in an overwater suite, and we completely fell in love with it. The views were nothing short of breathtaking. This was such an incredible and unforgettable stay. We’ll always cherish our time spent here and can’t wait to return someday! Nothing will compare to this resort on the most beautiful location "

"My wife and I stayed at the Kia Ora while in Rangiroa for our honeymoon. The staff welcomed us early with complementary drinks and congratulated us, which we really appreciated. The suite was amazing, with the small swimming pool that we got to enjoy daily. The restaurant was very good, with one of the best breakfasts we have had in our trip, and the lunch/dinner options were wide. Every few days the hotel also had some shows for dinner. We also had a couple of activities via the hotel, which were very well organised and enjoyable. Will definitely come back here next time we're around!"

"I really recommend this place for everyone!!!"

"We were so fortunate to spend our honeymoon at Ninamu — it truly felt like paradise. With only 10 bungalows on the entire island, the resort feels like you have rented a private island! Chris, the owner, is amazing. He personally purchased the island and built the resort by hand. His passion is visible everywhere, from the beautifully designed spaces to the coral-covered walls that add unique character. Heava, our waitress and bartender, made our stay extra special with her kindness and welcoming spirit. Chef cooked us some of the most incredible meals — we ate fresh-caught fish twice a day and have never felt better while traveling! The lagoon surrounding the island is stunning—crystal clear and with vibrant fish and blacktip reef sharks. Snorkeling here felt like exploring a private aquarium!"

"My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Rangiroa Tiputa Lodge for part of our honeymoon. Henry was a fantastic host, super friendly and very helpful! Henry helped to per-arrange all the transportation from the airport - stress free. Prior to arriving, Henry even helped us with arranging the excursions. To our delight, we had access to our own private beach. What a view! We had delicious breakfast delivered to us every morning. He also offered to help us get our delicious local home cooked dinners ahead of time. We can't say enough good things about this part of our trip. It was definitely a highlight! We hope to cross paths again in the future."
