Manava Beach Resort & Spa Moorea  

On Moorea’s sunlit shore in the Maharepa area, tucked between Cook’s Bay and the Moorea Green Pearl Golf Club. About 10 minutes from the airport and a short drive from the ferry terminal, this beachfront resort is a smart base for island escapes. Search-friendly highlights: beachfront, over-water bungalows, family-friendly, spa.

The vibe blends contemporary comfort with Polynesian style — think local motifs, timber touches and roomy terraces. The resort offers around 90 rooms and bungalows, including 28 over-water bungalows with direct lagoon access, beachfront and garden options, plus select units with private plunge pools and sunny sundecks. Rooms include air conditioning, ceiling fans in bungalows, minibars, flat-screen TVs and Wi‑Fi; premium over-water units sit near the reef for instant snorkeling off the deck. The property also boasts one of the island’s largest infinity pools.

Manea Spa with hammam, jacuzzi and signature aquatic massages, a private beach, outdoor infinity pool, sauna and steam room set the mellow scene. There’s an on-site dive center, water-sport options, a coral nursery (To’A Nui) for snorkeling right off the bungalows, a poolside bar and boutiques. Concierge and 24/7 reception handle tours and island activities — perfect for waking up to sea-breeze mornings and jumping straight into adventure.

A full business center, two meeting rooms and about 8,611 sq ft (800 m²) of conference space make group events easy. Express check-out, complimentary newspapers and property-wide Wi‑Fi support both meetings and remote work.

Two on-site spots serve international and local Polynesian flavors: Mahanai (breakfast and dinner) and the Autera’a snack bar with a poolside terrace. Buffet breakfasts are offered each morning (for a fee), there’s a pool bar and limited-hours room service when you want to dine in.
