A SUBLIME NATURAL SETTING

Le Taha’a’s gastronomic approach blends Polynesian culinary heritage and local ingredients with French savoir-faire. The result is a uniquely delicious interpretation of our tropical setting.

Our chefs are experts in island flavours and cooking techniques. Using fresh-caught seafood, tropical fruits, local vegetables, fragrant herbs and spices like Taha'a's renowned vanilla, they create dishes that tell a story of our local terroir and which work in harmony with the hot climate.

They also elevate dishes even further by incorporating aspects of classic French cuisine, international influences and cutting-edge cooking techniques, to create a full spectrum of dining choices that runs from gourmet meals to comforting favourites.

In our main restaurant you'll eat high among the treetops, enjoying a bird's eye view of the lagoon; there's a fine dining option ideal for intimate gatherings and special occasions; and our most relaxed options give you the choice between eating directly on the beach, with your feet in the sand, or by the pool.

Alongside, you'll find a wide selection of Old- and New-World wine and champagnes, with carefully considered pairings to accompany more gourmet meals, as well as a comprehensive choice of classic and tropically inspired cocktails, beers and low- or -no-alcohol drinks. You'll find these at our all-day pool bar (which includes a swim-up option) or our tiki bar that's open later into the night – and, of course, there's always room service for those who prefer to keep things low key.

Wherever you choose to drink or dine, you can expect to feel carried away by the sea breeze and the rhythm of island life.

Grab a towel from the poolside fare and find your favorite spot around our refreshing outdoor pool. Located next to the beach, beneath shady coconut trees and with the fragrant scent of tiare and jasmine hanging in the air, this is your chance to surrender to the moment.

Choosing between facing the turquoise lagoon or looking towards the green of our lush island home might be the hardest decision you make today. Whatever you decide, the murmur of waves and the carress of the warm breeze inspires rest and relaxation.

Our attentive staff are always close at hand to bring you drinks and light snacks. When you’re ready to cool down, slip into the water and consider the cocktail you'll order at the swim-up bar.

Meanwhile, lay back on a lounger, read a book with your feet dangling in the water or simply bask in the sun. We're sure you'll get used to doing very little – but practice makes perfect!

Taha'a shares the lagoon with its island neighbor, Raiatea, meaning that activities across both destinations are easily accessible to guests of Le Taha’a, with everything a short boat ride away.

Taha’a itself is a beautiful island to explore. You can hire cars or bikes to venture through its lush hillsides, take hiking excursions and see where vanilla orchids are cultivated.

Raiatea is renowned as the spiritual home of Polynesian culture. A ‘sacred’ island, it is considered to be the birthplace of the gods and houses numerous archeological treasures, such as ancient marae temples and intriguing petroglyphs. The first island in the region to be inhabited, it is home to the marae of Taputapuatea, once the center of religious and political power of all Polynesia, including Hawaii, New Zealand, Easter Island and the Cook Islands.

The island offers additional attractions, nature excursions and a chance to further immerse yourself in laid-back Polynesian life.

You can enjoy it all at your own pace, or let our concierge team tailor an experience to you, including private guides. In either case, we can arrange all shuttle boat connections.

There’s something inherently romantic about life in Polynesia – perhaps it's something to do with the relaxed atmosphere, the soft breeze and the sense that out here, far from the rest of the world, you can finally concentrate on each other.

At Le Taha'a, romance starts early, and often begins with the gentle splash of a canoe arriving at your over-water bungalow with a private breakfast for two. We'll set up on your terrace, then slip away just as quietly to leave you to enjoy the moment together. Walks on the sand, couples' massages and intimate dinners continue the romantic vibe – let us know about any special occasion and we can make helpful suggestions to make it even more memorable.

If you want to take the romance to the next level, there are a number of spots at Le Taha’a ideal for conducting wedding ceremonies, in cool shade or at sunset, with your feet in the sand, or on our very own heart-shaped islet, reached by canoe. We’ll talk you through all the possibilities.

From organizing officiators to planning wedding receptions and dinners, booking local Polynesian bands or photographers, and producing colorful leis and island-inspired wedding cakes, our planners can worry about everything, leaving you to simply enjoy the day.
