Your private island, accommodation and three meals a day. The time is yours.

The comfort of your stay, with a boat and skipper to explore the lagoon, the ocean and the atoll.

In old Polynesian, fafa means “wings” and rua means “two”. Fafarua — “two wings” — names the manta ray, emblem of Tikehau and the lodge.
An unforgettable stay.
