The Sheraton Moorea Lagoon Resort & Spa, nestled between two bays on the heart-shaped island of Moorea, is the very definition of a romantic South Seas escape. With velvety green mountains as a backdrop and a crystal clear ten-acre lagoon embracing its edge, the island’s only all-bungalow resort is located at what is arguably the best oceanfront spot on the island.

A ten-minute flight or 30-minute catamaran ride from Tahiti will bring you to this Magical Island that was said to be James Michener’s inspiration for the mythical island of “Bali Hai” in South Pacific.

This very popular resort offers 54 overwater bungalows or 52 beach and garden bungalows (ideal for families) each with special touches like claw footed tubs, ceiling fans, and swinging half doors. The overwater bungalows even have windows in the floor to view the ballet of tropical fish swimming by! With a beach lined lagoon as their playground, guests can kayak, snorkel, paddleboat or even experience a “feet in the sand” lunch.

The palm tree-lined infinity pool is in a garden like setting, leading to a wooden, above water walkway and even an overwater bar. There’s also a spa at beach level offering a range of treatments – from a flower filled baths to a private coconut oil massage on the lanai of your bungalow – and a fully equipped Fitness Center with access to lit Tennis Courts.

For those who prefer keeping in touch with the outside world while in paradise, the resort offers Wireless internet throughout.
