Motu Orama
The word Rangiroa means “vast sky” in Tuamotuan, but it’s the sea here, in one of the world’s largest atolls, that steals the show. The water glows a luminous turquoise, showcasing a marriage of the clearest water and the whitest sands.

The word Rangiroa means “vast sky” in Tuamotuan, but it’s the sea here, in one of the world’s largest atolls, that steals the show. The water glows a luminous turquoise, showcasing a marriage of the clearest water and the whitest sands. This remote star of French Polynesia also houses one of the richest coral reefs in the world, earning it global acclaim for scuba diving and snorkeling. In this heavenly habitat, Private Islands Inc. has selected a standout island for its portfolio that has the potential to become one of the most desirable income-generating properties in the South Pacific.
Located about 200 miles from Tahiti’s international airport in Papeete and accessible via boat from Rangiroa, Motu Orama epitomizes seclusion. The private island, 9.5 acres covered in swaying coconut palms, is nestled in a reef-dotted lagoon with only the cobalt vastness of the Pacific Ocean on the horizon. It’s a natural aquarium, where manta rays, whales and dolphins cruise the depths, and tropical fish create technicolor swirls close to shore. Resorts are scattered throughout the atoll, but the infrastructure is in place for Motu Orama to become a one-of-a-kind private island residence that doubles as an exclusive rental when not in use.
Although imagery shows buildings tucked into the palms, the existing structures need complete renovation, allowing the island’s new owner to apply their own aesthetic and elevate the luxury factor. Legal, construction, staffing and management assistance are available to help in the transformation.
