Villa Vaihau - Vacation rental by the sea

Villa Vaihau: Beachfront villa in a gated community on Moorea. 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms.

This charming vacation home is in Papetoai, on the northwest coast of Moorea, just 1 km (0.6 mi) from the InterContinental hotel and close to Holy Délices restaurant. Tucked away at the far end of a gated community with an electric gate, it is reached by a private road. The villa itself is fenced and secured by its own electric gate.

Ground floor
Villa Vaihau’s 2 air-conditioned bedrooms are on the ground floor, each with its own bathroom.
The bedrooms are connected: from the first bedroom, you reach the living room by walking through the second bedroom or by going outside.
Each bedroom has a double bed and a safe for your personal belongings.
On the same level, a small equipped kitchen with a dining area opens onto a wooden deck facing the ocean.
Behind the kitchen is the third bathroom, with shower and toilet.

Mezzanine and rooftop terrace
A central staircase leads up to the ventilated mezzanine, which sleeps 2 more guests. This space can be closed off with curtains and has a small bench seat, two single beds, and a smart TV connected via fiber internet (no satellite). It opens onto an open-air terrace with a stunning palette of blues and greens. The mezzanine is not air-conditioned but enjoys constant natural ventilation thanks to the roof design. This architecture is designed to keep the inside of the villa closely connected to its tropical surroundings.
Whether you look toward the lagoon or the mountains, this panoramic terrace is the perfect spot to relax and take in the scenery.

The highlight of this rental: every room has a view of Moorea’s lagoon.

The property also features a beautiful tree-filled garden, a wooden fare pote’e (traditional covered pavilion), and direct ocean access.
Guests arriving by boat will find 2 moorings in front of the property.

This vacation home is perfect for a family or two couples traveling together.

On the lagoon side, the 2 motus (islets) of Fareone and Tiahura are close by. Their coral garden is a true paradise, where you can swim freely among stingrays, schools of butterflyfish, and many other reef species.
