Le Tikehau by Pearl Resorts is the authentic Polynesian sanctuary you have been dreaming of, a confetti of simplicity on one of the most beautiful atolls in the Tuamotu Archipelago.
Relaxation and meditation, or discovery and activities: this lagoon at the end of the world is the blank page from which you can write the most beautiful journey.
In the unspoiled natural setting of a private coral islet, its 37 suites and bungalows make the Tikehau Pearl Beach Resort the only boutique hotel in the Tuamotu, combining intimacy and warmth.

Behind the pink sand beach, the wild coconut grove hides a beautiful tropical garden. You will feel transported right away in this world of exotism and serenity.

Do not miss the excursion to Bird Island, a natural sanctuary for many marine bird species such as red-footed boobies, crested terns and blue-grey noddies.
Your immersion in nature will be complete with the motu picnic: on the pink sand beach of a nearby secluded islet, after a Polynesian cuisine lesson, enjoy a dish of raw fish with coconut milk before a snorkeling tour, or just the best nap in the world !
Water Activities
The seascape of the Tuamotu Islands is unique. Each cloud, each breeze on the lagoon changes its surface and its colors, offering an amazing playground for watersports as for contemplation.
You can glide on the lagoon with our complimentary kayaks and outrigger canoes; you can also try your hand at fishing.
End your day by a 90-minute lagoon cruise to greet the sunset.
Snorkelling
At Le Tikehau by Pearl Resorts, the fish are plentiful, multicolored and friendly! You’ll see them each time you go for a swim. Ask the activities desk for flippers, a mask and a snorkel, and pay a visit to the magical water kindgom. Discover how the precious corals grow, slowly building the Polynesian atolls.
Scuba Diving
The fabulous ecosystem of the lagoon, its interaction with the ocean, the plentiful marine fauna that so impressed Jacques Cousteau are best discovered under the surface.
Here, the word “immersion” takes its full meaning, and Tikehau’s underwater universe, with its unrivaled visibility, attracts divers from the entire world. Magnificent specimens of sharks, rays, sea turtles and all kinds of fish can be seen, even in shallow waters.
Tikehau also offers a unique experience in Polynesia: scuba diving at the “manta car wash,” where manta rays come into the lagoon to let cleaner wrasses rid them of parasites. An easy and shallow dive accessible to all, not to be missed.
