Tahiti Ia Ora Beach Resort - Managed By Sofitel

An icon of elegance and escapism, the Tahiti Ia Ora Beach Resort - Managed By Sofitel occupies a prime position along the shimmering lagoon of Punaauia, a mere 15 km from Fa'a'a International Airport. This oasis of refined contemporary opulence greets visitors with an airy lobby awash in white, showcasing exotic furnishings and local artwork that set the tone for the Polynesian paradise to come. Upon arrival, guests are enveloped by the tranquil ambiance and the gentle sound of lapping waves, a first impression that elevates the spirit. The stunning central sand-bottomed pool, the largest in the Pacific, and the inviting tiki-style pool bar beckon guests to unwind with tropical cocktails, as sunsets paint the horizon in hues of orange and pink. With an assortment of lavish suites, including overwater bungalows and oceanfront accommodations, every corner of this resort is a canvas of comfortable luxury, seamlessly blending tranquility with adventure. Dining is a highlight, with La Plantation restaurant serving fine French cuisine infused with the flavors of Polynesia-all before breathtaking ocean views that entice the palate.

Explore the Local Area

The resort is perfectly positioned for exploration, offering easy access to nearby attractions such as the Museum of Tahiti and the Islands, a mere 500 meters away, and the historical Marae Ta'ata, just 4 km from your doorstep. For those inclined towards adventure and natural beauty, the luminescent lagoons of Moorea and the captivating Cave of Maraa provide unforgettable experiences just a flight away. Guests can also roam the vibrant shoreline of Plage du Mahana Park, located 3.5 km from the resort. Conveniently, the resort is near the international airport and cruise pier, making it an ideal base for island-hopping and easy departures, whether by ferry or plane. An approximately 30-minute drive can lead you into the heart of Papeete, allowing for cultural immersions and local market explorations.

Room Information

The Tahiti Ia Ora Beach Resort features a total of 146 spacious rooms and suites, each thoughtfully designed with premium bedding and furnished balconies. Rooms vary in size, but every accommodation includes the comforts of air conditioning, mini-bars, and elegant bathrobes, ensuring enhanced relaxation. Garden view or lagoon-facing options elevate the experience, enticing visitors to unwind on their private terraces while soaking in the breathtaking surroundings.

Room Upgrades

For those seeking heightened luxury, upgrade to one of the resort's overwater bungalows, which span approximately 700 square feet, offering expansive views and direct access to the lagoon. Families or larger parties might consider the triple rooms, ranging from 400 to 500 square feet, which provide additional living space and comfort. Each upgraded room type boasts plush furnishings, modern amenities, and stunning views that emphasize the natural beauty of Tahiti, ensuring a memorable and indulgent stay.

“This resort struck me as a practical choice for a Tahiti stay, especially given its proximity to the airport and cruise pier; I appreciate the rooms' modern design, complete with comfortable beds and lovely bathrooms. What stood out was the sand-bottomed pool, the largest in the Pacific, and the blend of French and Polynesian flavors, not to mention the Polynesian music at the bar. For those seeking relaxation and convenience, this hotel warrants consideration.”
