Imagine a completely private island surrounded by turquoise water in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, but only three minutes from shops and amenities, and less than 10 minutes from an airport welcoming both scheduled flights and private planes. This French Polynesian jewel is Motu Fara, a 172,000-square-foot private island in the middle of Avatoru pass on the Rangiroa atoll—a place world renowned for the richness of its underwater fauna.

The island's two villas, carefully renovated in 2022, have private swimming pools, air conditioning, and free broadband internet, and can accommodate six people each. You have the option of booking one of the villas or completely privatizing the island for a more immersive experience with up to 12 guests. A bilingual staff of four is at your disposal upon arrival to ensure your stay is filled with unforgettable moments. Motu Fara’s two chefs create heavenly dishes to match the setting, incorporating some local Polynesian specialties into the menus. There is also a wine cellar on site, with the option to fly in additional vintages from Tahiti. Breakfast is included in all rentals. 

Whenever you choose, the Motu Fara team will help you coordinate memorable activities. Among the options are scuba diving, deep-sea fishing, snorkeling, dolphin-spotting, or boat trips to remote sites in Rangiroa for the day with meals and drinks. Massages, yoga, Polynesian dance classes and cooking classes are offered on site. There is even the possibility to experience a show with local musicians and dancers or get a tattoo from an internationally recognized Polynesian artist. And should you ever need to connect back to the real world, the boat captain can take you to the nearby shops of Avatoru. In this unique, preserved place, the Motu Fara team awaits to deliver Polynesian magic, beginning September 1, 2023.
