Nice property with good views and privacy.

The property is stunning and bungalows built by master craftsman look like they came from a Robinson Curuso movie set.

Vanira is a perfect retreat for a rustic getaway - no room service, no hand and foot service. In short- perfect for us! Excellent staff and pristine grounds to enjoy.
2-night trip

10/10

I loved the beautiful, well cared for gardens, pools and unique lodges. Quiet and relaxing place. Good food eaten while enjoying beautiful sunsets from the restaurant. Would return here. Pleasant staff too.
4-night trip

8/10

This is a fabulous place at the end of the road on Tahiti Iti. Our accommodation had fans and mosquito netting and was open to the elements, but no air conditioning and very limited Wi-Fi access. It offered a wonderful back-to-nature experience, but it is very hot and humid in Tahiti so anyone staying here will want to be comfortable without A/C. I believe other units in the complex do have A/C, and the two pools are lovely and cool. The views are gorgeous and dinner at the restaurant was spectacular.

10/10

This place is very unique and cool to stay at. We stayed in a partially open plan unit, slept under mosquito nets, and the shower and kitchen were open to nature. The views were spectacular. the nature units are not for those timid with little creatures. This felt like ultra luxury glamping, loved it!

We stayed here three nights during our honeymoon and LOVED it! Beautiful views and the property was immaculate. Would definitely go back.

Vanira lodge is wonderful, just as described and shown in photos, if not better. We stayed in Lichee. We ate both nights in the restaurant and the food was the best we had on both Tahiti and Moorea.

I loved it all. Unique bungalows overlooking the Pacific and Tahiti Nui. Quiet with beautiful flora and fauna. A very special place I hope to return to.

Wonderful views and the whole site on the side of a mountain has Fairy Terns and long tailed Tropic birds flying over. We stayed for seven nights in bungalow Vai Iti - bliss.
7-night trip

10/10

We had a magical stay at Vanira Lodge. We loved the jaw-dropping views from out perch. Some members of the family enjoyed the open-air feel of the bungalow more than others, but the pool was amazing and food at the restaurant was delicious.

Beautiful property. Yep lots of bugs its like camping but very nice and unique.
2-night trip

10/10

Vanira Lodge was a great choice for our last night in French Polynesia after a great trip. It's about a 1 1/2 hour drive from PPT but well worth it. Great restaurant, amazing views from the hill and a gorgeous jungle setting. Each bungalow is one of a kind. If we came back with kids it would work great.
1-night trip

10/10

A lovely place to stay Rooms are very nice natural design and quite comfortable. Dinner in the restaurant is excellent. The grounds are lovely. We only spent 1 night because of our return flight but would stay longer next time just to enjoy Vanira Lodge. If you are going to stay in Teahupo’o this is where I recommend to stay

A really beautiful area with natural surroundings. The hut is an open air space that is made of natural wood and makes you feel like you a staying in a tree house. The grounds are gorgeous with 2 pools and a volleyball net.
3-night trip

10/10

A really great place - a little rustic, but comfortable and beautiful. The restaurant is very good, and the staff is sweet. Be sure to book a cottage with air conditioning - it’s basically rainforest and there are lots mosquitoes. But sitting a private hot tub overlooking the Pacific is divine.
1-night trip

10/10

Pro- amazing views, great jungle vibes, open air cabins, two great pools, kitchenette, great for families, great service, and super clean. Con- don't expect air conditioning, mosquitos (there are bug nets to sleep under), no wifi in cabins but there is at checkin location
1-night trip

10/10

Incredible experience at a true eco-lodge in Teahupo'o Beautifully constructed cabins with incredible authenticity Great layout and comfort for a family Note: cabins are open air, almost treehouses, with no walls or air conditioning Nice pools, although one was closed Beautiful restaurant gazebo (also open air) This location requires a car; there is nothing to walk to
2-night trip

10/10

I loved the hillside bungalow. It was fully open to the gorgeous views over the beautiful garden and out to the ocean. It is such a unique and memorable construction. The restaurant has good reviews but it was not open for suppers on Monday and Tuesday evening when we were there. It was no problem since we enjoyed cooking light meals for ourselves when we were there.
2-night trip

8/10

The place is a paradise. Nice and very integrated with the environment. All the staff are kind and the breakfast is awesome. The only bad thing is internet. My husband needed to send some work emails and it was impossible. The wifi is very weak.

6/10

They wouldn’t refund our stay even though we let them know a week ahead of time
7-night trip

10/10

Great architecture, great site. Very cool look and materials. A must see. Breakfast could be a bit faster (the ladies do their best, maybe it would need a third person to help). Also there is no restaurant available at night in the area. And the lodge’s hotel is closed on monday and Tuesday. So plan it ;-)
1-night trip

10/10

This is a truly eclectic place. Nestled in the side of the mountain with great views over the lagoon, the various buildings are all unique, quirky constructions using local materials. The grounds are luxuriant. Be aware dining options are very limited. On the day we arrived the restaurant was closed and there was nothing else within a 20km drive. You will need a car. Things are very rustic, in keeping with the location - definitely not a luxury option. But in our view, well worth it.
