The Property

110 elegant bungalows make up Sofitel Kia Ora, overlooking the shimmering lagoon and crowning each morning with the natural allure of the South Pacific. The resort offers a magnificent array of accommodation options, some of which are stilted above the water and some beside the resort’s pretty pond.

Rooms in the bungalows and villas are designed with a modern minimalism, achieved by a blend of tropical dark wood and subtle décor. Beds are sumptuous and comfortable, placed beside panoramic windows or sliding doors which lead to private verandas. Enjoy a comfortable evening in, perhaps a glass of wine in hand, gazing out upon the silhouette of Tahiti.

Facilities

Lose yourself in the natural beauty surrounding Sofitel Kia Ora, as its neighbouring lagoon and pristine beach are surely its showpiece. Swim alongside majestic marine creatures on a diving excursion, feed colourful tropical fish and take a close look at the lagoon’s precious coral reefs.

Experience Polynesia at its core during the resort’s exclusive “Polynesian Evenings”, which involve dance, traditional rituals and vibrant music.

Visit Le Jardin Spa to experience nourishing treatments featuring essential oils and other raw-organic produce, sinking into deep relaxation and mindfulness.

Dining

Sofitel Kia Ora Moorea’s culinary experiences are other-worldly, beginning with the option of exclusive “Canoe Breakfasts”, brought to your private veranda. Indulge in the agricultural bounty of French Polynesia, enjoying fresh, locally sourced ingredients in the resort’s two stunning restaurants.

Pure Restaurant brings a contemporary, al fresco setting, serving three meals a day which champion international cuisine and themed menus (Polynesian on Sundays). Visit K Restaurant, situated on the beachfront, with an alluring ambience, perfect for couples. Taste gourmet cuisine paired with a warming candlelit atmosphere.
