Beautiful, unique resort in the jungle
Vanira Lodge was a great choice for our last night in French Polynesia after a great trip. It's about a 1 1/2 hour drive from PPT but well worth it. Great restaurant, amazing views from the hill and a gorgeous jungle setting. Each bungalow is one of a kind. If we came back with kids it would work great.

South Pacific Bliss
A really great place - a little rustic, but comfortable and beautiful. The restaurant is very good, and the staff is sweet. Be sure to book a cottage with air conditioning - it’s basically rainforest and there are lots mosquitoes. But sitting a private hot tub overlooking the Pacific is divine.

Amazing experience in the treetops
Incredible experience at a true eco-lodge in Teahupo'o Beautifully constructed cabins with incredible authenticity Great layout and comfort for a family Note: cabins are open air, almost treehouses, with no walls or air conditioning Nice pools, although one was closed Beautiful restaurant gazebo (also open air) This location requires a car; there is nothing to walk to

A really beautiful area with natural surroundings. The hut is an open air space that is made of natural wood and makes you feel like you a staying in a tree house. The grounds are gorgeous with 2 pools and a volleyball net.

Vanira lodge is wonderful, just as described and shown in photos, if not better. We stayed in Lichee. We ate both nights in the restaurant and the food was the best we had on both Tahiti and Moorea.

The place is a paradise. Nice and very integrated with the environment. All the staff are kind and the breakfast is awesome. The only bad thing is internet. My husband needed to send some work emails and it was impossible. The wifi is very weak.

We had a magical stay at Vanira Lodge. We loved the jaw-dropping views from out perch. Some members of the family enjoyed the open-air feel of the bungalow more than others, but the pool was amazing and food at the restaurant was delicious.

I loved the hillside bungalow. It was fully open to the gorgeous views over the beautiful garden and out to the ocean. It is such a unique and memorable construction. The restaurant has good reviews but it was not open for suppers on Monday and Tuesday evening when we were there. It was no problem since we enjoyed cooking light meals for ourselves when we were there.

A unique location and experience
This is a truly eclectic place. Nestled in the side of the mountain with great views over the lagoon, the various buildings are all unique, quirky constructions using local materials. The grounds are luxuriant. Be aware dining options are very limited. On the day we arrived the restaurant was closed and there was nothing else within a 20km drive. You will need a car. Things are very rustic, in keeping with the location - definitely not a luxury option. But in our view, well worth it.

Troglodyte houses in Polynesian « jungle »
Great architecture, great site. Very cool look and materials. A must see. Breakfast could be a bit faster (the ladies do their best, maybe it would need a third person to help). Also there is no restaurant available at night in the area. And the lodge’s hotel is closed on monday and Tuesday. So plan it ;-)

Great place to stay
A lovely place to stay Rooms are very nice natural design and quite comfortable. Dinner in the restaurant is excellent. The grounds are lovely. We only spent 1 night because of our return flight but would stay longer next time just to enjoy Vanira Lodge. If you are going to stay in Teahupo’o this is where I recommend to stay
