Tikehau

Tikehau


TIKEHAU ~ We took a 55 minute flight from Tahiti to the island of Tikehau with its pink sand beaches and we transferred by water taxi to the Tikehau Pearl Beach Resort and Spa. Tikehau is part of the Tuamotu Islands. This resort is perfect for someone looking for something a bit rustic and remote. There is only one restaurant and bar on site. It is very quiet and secluded. Our overwater bungalow was very spacious. Only some of the rooms have air conditioning, others just have ceiling fans. Our room needed some work, especially since we were in one that did not have A/C and our ceiling fan was broken. We were given a standing floor fan which worked just fine. This resort has 8 Beach Bungalows, 6 Premium Beach Bungalows, 8 Overwater Bungalows, 8 Premium Overwater Bungalows and 8 Overwater Suites. Diving is the main attraction of the island. Of all the islands and resorts we visited, Tikehau had the most fish to be seen in the water.
