Family hotels and homes in Tikehau

Staff was so friendly and helpful.

We recently stayed at the newly renovated Le Pearl at Tikehau, and let’s just say—it’s the kind of place that spoils all future vacations. The hotel is still undergoing renovations, but honestly, you’d barely notice. There’s no noise or disturbance at all, just a wonderfully tranquil vibe. With only part of the property open, it feels like your own private island getaway. We saw maybe 15-20 people total during our stay, making it delightfully peaceful. We had the chance to try out the overwater bungalows, which are freshly updated and absolutely breathtaking. Some offer direct access to the lagoon from your private deck—a true bucket-list experience. We also stayed in a beach bungalow, offering a private beach just steps from the shore. Both types of bungalows are beautifully renovated with sleek interiors, offering a luxurious and comfortable stay. If we had to pick a favorite, overwater Bungalow #7 is the ultimate choice. It offers the most privacy and an unbeatable view of the sunset. Whether you choose a bungalow with or without lagoon access, the interiors are identical—so it really comes down to personal preference. The renovations throughout the hotel are top-notch. From the chic bar and restaurant to the beautiful infinity pool that seems to merge with the lagoon, everything has been designed with care. The staff? Absolutely lovely—warm, attentive, and eager to make every moment special. Now, let’s talk about the food. Breakfast is a dream: fresh pastries, bread, brioche, fruits, eggs—you name it. It’s a buffet that doesn’t feel like a buffet (yes, it’s that good). Lunch and dinner are equally exceptional. Hats off to the chef for crafting refined dishes featuring fresh, local fish. For such an isolated location, the quality of the meals is mind-blowing. Even the cocktails at the bar are thoughtfully crafted—no generic drinks here. The barman was so friendly and added a personal touch to the experience. Getting there was seamless.

Tikehau is a small atoll/island, therefore everything like stores and snack places are within walking and biking distance (bicycles available to travel around the island for free). The host has been very attentive, helpful and wonderful.

The location is stunning, with lovely views and excellent swimming just outside the door. Plenty of privacy and quiet. Christiane had stocked the bungalow with yummy breakfast food and while unobtrusive, she was extremely helpful throughout our stay. The bed and bathroom were very nice. Best of all was Christiane's hospitality. We felt pampered and so lucky to be able to enjoy her bungalow, her peerless hospitality, and the sheer magic of Tikehau.

Lovely location on a private island. Staff were very helpful and the area is super pretty and remote and relaxing and scenic! We were very comfortable and could not fault whatsoever
