New in Huahine, called Wild Island.
september 2013 - Huahine
First of all, following its recent change in ownership, Hotel Te Tiare Beach Resort has been renamed Hotel Royal Huahine.
Secluded in a little wild and unspoiled bay, just 10 minutes from the village by shuttle boat, this little gem of traditional island hotels currently features 40 bungalows, including 11 overwater. Since all units face westward, they have an unrestricted view of the silhouettes of Raiatea and Taha’a. The Royal Huahine other major asset is also the hotel staff, native of the island, who, thanks to its experience, knows how to direct guests to better discover this island which has so much to offer.
Still managed by SPM Hotels, projects related to the future of the resort are presently under studies.
Another change of ownership, the charming 3* Hotel Le Relais Mahana located in the southwest of the island has just been taken over by the owners of the private cruise company, Tahiti Yacht Charter, whose reputation is firmly established.
A renovation and improvement program of the resort is gradually taking shape: areas to be worked on would include the interior of the restaurant and bungalows, the swimming pool, the kitchen, etc.
Since August 1, the hotel has expanded its staff and already offers a few new activities and events: stand-up paddle boards, demonstration on how to tie a pareo, display of local handicrafts, musical entertainment by a local trio…The kindness, the warm welcome, and the Polynesian smile are now the trademark of Le Relais Mahana 3*.
