Havaiki Lodge stands in the northern bay of Fakarava, the second largest atoll in French Polynesia, which together with its lagoon and neighbouring atolls is a UNESCO biosphere reserve. The Garuae pass, the widest in Polynesia, is close by.
Fifteen bungalows: ten along the lagoon and five in the garden. This is not a hotel but a family business — the lodge is run by Havaiki, born on the atoll, and Joachim, one of the first people to farm black pearls here.
The pearl farm attached to the lodge was founded in 1989 and is still the oldest working farm on the atoll. Guests watch a grafting demonstration and pull up their own oyster in the “pearl lottery”; a workshop and a shop go with it.
There are two places to eat: lunch on the beach at the Snack du Requin Dormeur, whose Tahitian raw fish was voted the best in Polynesia by the travel magazine Géo, and a single chef’s menu in the evening at the Meko Bar. Bikes, kayaks, an outrigger canoe, masks and fins are free to guests.
Boat trips run to the southern Tetamanu pass, with its coral garden in a metre and a half of water and endless pink sand, and to the Teahatea green lagoon, where turtles graze on algae.
No markup
You pay exactly the rate the resort publishes. On top of that, only the actual bank costs of currency conversion and the international transfer — no commission of ours.
We run the deal
Correspondence with the resort, holding the room, the contract, booking confirmation and all paperwork are on our side. There is nothing for you to arrange yourself.
Card payment
We accept payment by card through Stripe and issue an invoice. The transfer to the resort is our job — you do not have to find a way to pay abroad.
Support all the way
We help you choose the room and dates, work out the dive package, answer questions about flights and gear, and stay in touch until you are home.
The exact amount is confirmed when we hold your booking: it includes the resort's rate at the day's exchange rate plus the actual transfer costs. No hidden fees.
