In an authentic Polynesian atmosphere, comfortable facilities welcome you.

Fafarua Lodge - the House

À Fafarua Private Islandtime doesn't count, and guests are king. 

If you decide to rent the island, you'll of course enjoy a comfortable Polynesian house, just like the ones you'll still find in Tahiti or its islands, in French Polynesia. This villa offers all the comforts of a modern home with the charm of typical Tuamotu island houses.

Guest facilities include a house with bathroom and sanitary facilities, and a Fare potee (outdoor lounge).

Although 35 minutes by boat from the first village, you'll have running water (hot and cold water), electricity, fans, a cell phone network and free internet access (approx. 30Mb/s downstream, 20Mb/s upstream).

The exteriors

The "Fare potee" (Tahitian for "outdoor living room"), a covered area a few meters from the kitchen, is made of a wooden structure with a green roof, and is equipped with a grilling area. Set up as a reception room, it's a convivial place where people like to get together.

A few meters from the first two bedrooms is one of the two bathrooms. It features a shower and washbasin in a semi-covered area overlooking a natural, open-air garden. Nearby are two toilets with washbasins and a covered area for a clothesline. A second bathroom, also semi-covered, adjoins one of the three bedrooms.

All these facilities were built by the owners over the last few decades for their personal use, according to local standards adapted to life in the Tuamotus. Renovation work and upgrading to modern hotel standards have been carried out, and now make it possible to offer you a tropical, comfortable and modern habitat.

Away from the beach and the house, inside the "motu", a small dwelling houses the staff, who provide a constant presence. The family's dogs are also present on the island. Companion animals, very sociable and welcoming, they participate in the life of the motu and warn you as soon as a boat approaches the private island.

Interiors

The villa, built in typical Tuamotu style with a wood and plywood structure and a tin roof, has several levels. It comprises three single bedrooms. One bedroom, on the upper floor, is equipped with a double bed. The other two have one double and one single bed each. The rooms are simple and colorful, well-ventilated with natural cross-ventilation, and equipped with mosquito nets, fans and storage cupboards.

An office, library and storage area is located on the same intermediary.

The living room is a very open space, with a U-shaped bench that can accommodate six extra beds. The dining area features a table for eight. The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped. All in all, a comfortable family home, very open and warm.

Motu Fafarua, Tikehau - Tuamotu Archipelago - French Polynesia

Follow us!

Spending a family vacation in a secluded location in an exceptional area like Tikehau’s atoll can be a very attractive vacation project.
Fafarua Private Island is certainly the place.
On the private island, everything has been done to provide the necessary comfort for a pleasant stay in an environment that remains rather hostile to non-native people.

There are, however, certain realities to consider.

The concept of a secluded private island responds to the notion of enjoying an exceptional environment with peace, tranquility and respect for the place and its inhabitants.
We ask our guests to share these values. We appreciate good humor, music and general conviviality. However, we do not tolerate yelling, screaming, fighting or aggressive behavior, regardless of the age of the guests.

Parents are responsible for supervising their children, whether in the buildings, on the grounds, during unsupervised swimming, or on excursions.
In addition, the natural environment can present a number of hazards:
- Risk of injury from coral, which is omnipresent on an atoll,
- Numerous coconut trees with coconuts that can fall,
- Unsupervised swimming.

The remoteness of the island should be taken into account, as we are 30 minutes by boat (in calm seas) from the village clinic (there is no doctor on the island) and one hour by plane from the nearest hospital (in Tahiti).

The use of equipment such as paddleboards, kayaks, fins, masks and snorkels must be under the supervision and responsibility of parents.

The installations, furnishings and decorations of the lodge are the result of more than twenty years of work and are often difficult to repair or replace. Therefore, we ask that everyone be respectful and make appropriate use of the facilities, equipment and environment. The house as a whole, should not be considered a playground.

Rooms must be used according to their normal occupancy. For example, a room with a bathroom for 2 to 3 people cannot be used for 4 to 6 people. The 60 000 square meter motu and its beaches are available for physical exercise.

The remoteness of the atoll and the private island makes sourcing very complicated, forcing the chef to constantly adapt to what's available.
We give great preference to fresh local produce and our cuisine is based on fish in all its forms, caught locally and whenever we can.
It is very difficult to plan "special children's" meals and cater to everyone's specific tastes. We therefore recommend that you contact us prior to booking to find out how we can accommodate your needs.

Similarly, the isolated location of the private island and the need to be self-sufficient in water and electricity means that we have to consider the wise use of these two resources without wasting them.

For all these reasons, although we are happy to welcome children, we feel that Fafarua Private Island is not a "particularly suitable" structure for children, especially young ones.
That's why, after ten years of experience, we have decided not to accept children under the age of 12.
We would be happy to welcome children over the age of 12, and we ask families bringing children to understand that this will only be possible if they make an effort to adapt to what we offer and to the rules of conviviality on the motu.
