About this property

Fare Tupaia — Tahiti Suite with Ocean View, Beach & 4★ Resort Amenities

Welcome to Fare Tupaia.
The suite sits on the third floor of Résidence Lafayette, in Arue, inside the grounds of Le Tahiti by Pearl Resorts — about fifteen minutes north of downtown Papeete and ten minutes from the international airport.
What brings people back is the view. From the balcony, the eye runs straight across Matavai Bay and lands on Moorea. The sunsets are, without overselling, among the best in French Polynesia. The black sand beach is at your feet and the lagoon a short walk away.
Inside the suite (450 sq ft / 42 m², air-conditioned)

Bedroom with an oversized king bed (200 x 200 cm / 79 x 79 in) and premium linens
Separate living room with a real double sofa bed (140 x 200 cm — sleeps one extra adult, or two at a squeeze), a dedicated work desk, and a design bar that earns its keep at sunset
Fully equipped kitchen: large fridge, ceramic cooktop, oven, microwave, coffee machine, a complete set of dishware
Washing machine (a real plus on stays of a week or more)
Bathroom with shower, hair dryer, welcome toiletries
TV, fast Wi-Fi throughout, light parquet floors

What comes with the resort
Because the suite is inside Le Tahiti by Pearl Resorts ★★★★, your stay includes two complimentary passes giving you access to:

Year-round infinity pool
Jacuzzi, sauna, hammam
24/7 fitness center
Covered private parking
Direct access to Lafayette black sand beach
On-site bar and restaurant

The bus stop at the resort entrance runs straight to Papeete, about a fifteen-minute ride.
Who it suits best

Couples wanting a romantic Tahiti stay without flying onward to Bora Bora or Moorea
Business travelers looking for a quiet, well-located base
Digital nomads who need a real desk and reliable Wi-Fi
Anyone planning a 7-14 night stay to explore Tahiti at their own pace

A note from your host
Ia ora na — I'm Céline. I've lived in French Polynesia for several years and I've been hosting travelers for ten. A few days before you arrive, I'll send you a personal guide to the island: the restaurants I'd send my own friends to, the markets actually worth your morning, the dive sites, the lookouts most guidebooks miss. I can also arrange an affordable airport transfer if you'd rather not deal with logistics after a long flight.
I'm reachable throughout your stay and I usually answer within the hour.
Whether you're staying three nights or three weeks, my hope is that Fare Tupaia feels less like a rental and more like a friend's place — one with a particularly good view.
— Céline

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Condo is perfect location for relaxing and quiet beach time. Celine is a wonderful and communicative host and was extremely helpful. Be advised there are no shops/restaurants anywhere close enough to walk to, so if you have no car, you will rely fully on the resort. The amenities at the resort are plenty. Ignore any reviews that say the beaches are not good for snorkeling/beach time etc. - that is false! The water is perfect for swimming, snorkeling and sand time. Pool and fitness center are also very nice amenities.

Everything was great. Celine communicated quickly and graciously. Note: the elevator was not working during our visit. It will be fixed soon. But double check if you have mobility issues.
