Le Tikehau by Pearl Resorts

Peaceful Arrival

Le Tikehau by Pearl Resorts is an intimate and charming address featuring just 29 pure Polynesian-style bungalows nestled on a small 4-hectare islet of wild coconut groves bordered by pink sand. Suspended between sky and sea, Tikehau is a crown of coral islets, forming an exceptional 26-kilometre-long oval lagoon. At its centre, the peaceful Motu Tiano serves as the setting for Tikehau, a small hotel with stunning charm featuring graceful coconut palms acting as parasols... Each bungalow showcases exotic wood and immaculately white fabrics. Jacques-Yves Cousteau described Tikehau as the atoll with the most fish on the planet. Scuba diving and snorkeling are therefore the resort's flagship activities, yet gastronomy and wellness are also highlighted for visitors inclined towards comfort after exertion. It is the ideal retreat for fans of marine life and also birds, which have found refuge on a motu in the lagoon. Recently, the hotel joined the prestigious Relais & Châteaux association, thereby reinforcing its image as an exclusive address combining authenticity and refinement.
