THE EXTRAORDINARY

Named the most beautiful beach in the north-east of Moorea, its crystal-clear waters reveal a range of blues stretching towards the horizon. In the distance, the lush silhouette of the island of Tahiti can be distinguished, a unique panorama that hotel guests are the only ones able to admire.
