With dramatic volcanic peaks and an aquamarine lagoon backdropping expansive, lush gardens, the InterContinental Tahiti Resort & Spa is your gateway to the archipelago of French Polynesia. On the vibrant main island of Tahiti, two kilometers from the airport, the exotic overwater bungalows and tropical accommodations are a sublime jumping-off point for must-see cultural events and enviable panoramas.

InterContinental Hotels & Resorts is the leading chain of luxury hotels in French Polynesia and one of the first to move into the archipelago. This early arrival meant that three resorts secured the most spectacular spots in the Society Islands and Bora Bora.

Though each property has a distinct personality, the three hotels of the InterContinental brand in French Polynesia all embrace the same philosophy. Each fits flawlessly with its natural surroundings, with overwater bungalows, and makes a great effort to protect the environment and local traditions.
