We loved our stay at Vanira Lodge. The staff was very friendly and the food was amazing. We were in Vai Ora and the views were stunning. We especially enjoyed the hot tub on our terrace and having AC in the bedroom. The only thing that might be an issue for some people are the lizards and small worms that share the space. The lizards were on the terrace, but the little worms were in the bedroom. The property lets you know in advance and it didn't bother us, but it's good to be aware before you book. Overall we had a fabulous time and hope to go back!

This is like a hillside garden paradise overlooking Teahupo’o and surrounding ocean. Staff is as accommodating as one can get. They are marvelous. The chef is a young man that cooks excellent meals. The bungalow was immaculately clean and one also feels living in nature. Like high quality glamping but perhaps better. The shampoo and shower gel is divine (Tiare).

This is a fabulous place at the end of the road on Tahiti Iti. Our accommodation had fans and mosquito netting and was open to the elements, but no air conditioning and very limited Wi-Fi access. It offered a wonderful back-to-nature experience, but it is very hot and humid in Tahiti so anyone staying here will want to be comfortable without A/C. I believe other units in the complex do have A/C, and the two pools are lovely and cool. The views are gorgeous and dinner at the restaurant was spectacular.

This place is very unique and cool to stay at. We stayed in a partially open plan unit, slept under mosquito nets, and the shower and kitchen were open to nature. The views were spectacular. the nature units are not for those timid with little creatures. This felt like ultra luxury glamping, loved it!

Want unique? This is the place!

Vanira is a perfect retreat for a rustic getaway - no room service, no hand and foot service. In short- perfect for us! Excellent staff and pristine grounds to enjoy.

Beautiful, unique resort in the jungle

Vanira Lodge was a great choice for our last night in French Polynesia after a great trip. It's about a 1 1/2 hour drive from PPT but well worth it. Great restaurant, amazing views from the hill and a gorgeous jungle setting. Each bungalow is one of a kind. If we came back with kids it would work great.

South Pacific Bliss

A really great place - a little rustic, but comfortable and beautiful. The restaurant is very good, and the staff is sweet. Be sure to book a cottage with air conditioning - it’s basically rainforest and there are lots mosquitoes. But sitting a private hot tub overlooking the Pacific is divine.
