Raiatea Pearl Resort Hotel Luxury Vacations, Honeymoons and Travel Packages
  A warm, inviting welcome and personalized service will make your stay at Raiatea Pearl Resort feel like home away from home. The hotel provides a wonderful gateway to discover Raiatea, the "Sacred Island" known as the birthplace of the Polynesian gods.Raiatea is the capital of the Leeward Islands, located 20km northwest of Tahiti.
Raiatea, the sacred island, was considered to be the very cradle of Polynesian civilization (Havai'i) by her ancestors; the geographical heart of the ma'ohi culture (forming Hawaii-New Zealand-Easter island); and the birthplace of the god Oro (god of fertility and of war).
It was Oro who was attempting to overthrow Ta'aroa (god of creation) when the Europeans first arrived in this pacific triangle.
 The population numbers 8, 560. Uturoa, the principal village, is the Administrative Center for the Leeward Island Society Islands. For the Polynesian Maohi, ancestor of today's Tahitians, Raiatea was known as Sacred Havai'I, and was the center for royalty, religion, culture, history and heraldry. A partially paved road circles the island, winding through fertile valleys and wide flatland, past farms and orchards. There are several passes from the ocean to the lagoon, which the neighboring island of Tahaa also shares.
Due to the ideal sailing and fishing conditions, Raiatea offers charters and nautical activities year-round. Hotel Accommodations  There are 28 rooms, including 8 garden bungalows and 9 overwater bungalows, combining traditional style with modern comforts to host both local and international guests.Each room is equipped with a mini-bar, television, ceiling fan, telephone and safety deposit box. The garden bungalows offer a lounge area, while the over water bungalows have a lovely veranda overlooking the lagoon.
In addition, the RAIATEA PEARL RESORT has an indoor-outdoor bar, and its restaurant is reputed to be the finest on the island. There is also a fine boutique and a swimming pool to accommodate everyone.
The hospitality is in keeping with the legendary Polynesian welcome. However, the RAIATEA PEARL RESORT is above all, the gateway to discovering the island of Raiatea. The sacred Raiatea, the secret Raiatea… a tropical volcanic island in all its splendor.
Raiatea Pearl Resort Hotel Restaurant The restaurant of the Raiatea Pearl Beach Resort overlooks the fresh water swimming pool and the lagoon beyond. The seafood specialties and excellent cuisine have led to the restaurant's reputation as the finest on the island.
Raiatea Pearl Resort Hotel Activities  The hotel is host to a number of excursions, each of which is more tempting than the next. The two sister islands: Raiatea and Taha'a are unique in that they are two high islands trapped in an immense lagoon and protected by a common barrier reef. They offer 259 square kms of land to be explored on foot, on horseback or by jeep.Raiatea boasts the only navigable river in French Polynesia . . . the Apoo Ma'u in the Bay of Faaroa. Sacred Raiatea and Taha'a, the island of vanilla, are choice destinations for both snorkeling and scuba diving. There are more than 50 catalogued sites for both beginner and experienced divers alike.
In addition to the spectacular coral drop offs, abundant underwater plant and animal life, there are several wrecks to visit, such as the Nordby, a 57 ton schooner (50m long) which sank in 1900 and can be found directly in front of the RAIATEA PEARL RESORT and is accessible from its boat docks.
A visit to the magical universe of the sister island: Taha'a, promises a timeless encounter with Polynesia of yesterday. The journey in outrigger canoe allows time to pass slowly, making possible a fragile link between an often inaccessible Polynesian lifestyle and the visitor to this remote world. This excursion gives time the opportunity to discover the feeling of authenticity by revealing little by little the smallest of nuances which are magic in their own.
Your stay at the RAIATEA PEARL RESORT will be a little bit like discovering the soul of the ancient Polynesians, the navigators and conquerors who continue to reign among these Leeward Islands.
