Gaze across the
unruffled surface of the Sea of Moon as you stand on the shore of the
Sheraton Tahiti and you will see Moorea, the quintessential dream of
Polynesian Paradise, often thought to be James Michener’s mythical
“Bali Hai.” A
ten-minute flight or 30-minute catamaran ride from Tahiti will bring
you to this pristine island of extraordinary white beaches, volcanic
peaks, vanilla and pineapple plantations and a beauty and remoteness
essentially untouched by modern man.
This is Sheraton
Moorea Lagoon Resort & Spa ...
Opened in October
2000, Sheraton Moorea Lagoon Resort & Spa is the perfect realization
of a South Seas fantasy. Here the outside world fades quickly as you
relax in a private, air-conditioned bungalow rising above a
spectacular 10-acre lagoon. |

A viewing panel in the
floor reveals jewel-colored fish beneath your feet. A ladder drops
from your landing into the warm lagoon, should you feel tempted to
join them for a swim. On land, each fare (Tahitian for house) stands
amidst luxurious gardens or on the beachfront. And each bungalow
features a private outdoor shower with unparalleled views. Each of
the hotels 54 over-water bungalows and 52 garden and beach bungalows
are equipped with all the modern conveniences found in a world-class
hotel, including special touches like ceiling fans and claw-footed
tubs. Especially popular with honeymooners, the "island on an
island" over-water rooms are connected by winding, wooden walkways
built on stilts over the lagoon. |
