Moorea: The nature island

Close to Opunohu Bay on the northeast coast of the island, sheltered from the prevailing winds, the InterContinental Beachcomber Resort Moorea is nestled voluptuously between the mountains and lagoon.  Situated in the heart of a verdant setting of 11 hectares (27 acres), these magnificent gardens contain 165 different species of trees, plants and flowers. Confided to the talented hands of French architect Pierre-Jean Picart, who loves Polynesia, the hotel underwent a big renovation project that was finished in September 2002, with very pleasing results.

Accommodations
Our Moorea Resort has 142 accommodation units, all with the same standards of comfort and luxury and a Polynesian theme decor. There are four categories to choose according to your taste.

The 17 Garden Suite Bungalows, the 50 Overwater and 28 Beach Suite Bungalows (called "fare"), as well as the 48 Garden View Rooms, were all decorated with a concern of combining a respect of local traditions with non-conspicuous contemporary luxury. Noble woods and natural materials were elegantly used in the decor. These include parquet or bamboo, Méranti of Indonesia partitions, mahogany and wicker furniture and natural colored wall coverings. The furniture of distinguished and original lines, as well as objects made from Tahitian arts and crafts, (paintings, tapas...) compose a refined and harmonious ensemble and reinforce the Polynesian identity of this dream hotel. The only impediment to tradition (for the comfort of our guests), the "fare" and rooms are all provided with a very modern air-conditioning system.

Restaurants and Bars
Menus are adapted to your appetite and taste buds are what we offer in Moorea where International meets up with Polynesian culinary traditions. It's not for nothing that Moorea is called the Garden Island and you'll enjoy tasting our exotic local fruits and vegetables. Not to mention the fish and seafood from our lagoon and the open ocean.

There are two hotel restaurants - the delightful Fare Nui Restaurant and the more relaxed poolside Fare Hana.

Entertainment
To give you an authentic taste of Polynesia, we present a program of regular dinner shows in which dinner is followed by an exciting performance of the inimitable Tahitian dances.
