Moorea Beach Vacations

We stayed in a premium overwater bungalow at Manava Beach Resort & Spa on Moorea and it was fabulous. The resort is small and quaint in the best way — intimate, Polynesian in feel, and never overwhelming. Staff were consistently friendly and welcoming. Our bungalow had a private sundeck with a ladder straight into the lagoon, a glass panel in the floor, and an unobstructed ocean view. The marine life right at the bungalow was the highlight. We saw a shark, a turtle, and a stingray just off the deck, along with numerous beautiful fish. We could watch them from the terrace or drop in for a swim whenever we wanted. Sunsets from the bungalow were perfect — the kind you sit and watch without saying much. If you want an overwater stay that feels personal rather than massive, this is an excellent choice. We would happily return.

The overwater bungalow was a great experience. They have done a great job building up the reef in the Lagoon and you get to see a colorful variety of fish, sharks and rays from your room. Even snorkeling in the lagoon is a great experience.

Amazing resort and the renovated rooms are beautiful! Breakfast was great. Staff are very friendly and the beach is stunning. If you can, splurge on the overwater bungalows. Truly a bucket list experience and stay. 10/10 honeymoon experience for my fiance and I, and the hotel made it extra special.
