Only a step away from Tahiti and Bora Bora, Vahine a private 10 acre-island, the "Tuvahine Motu", sits in the blue lagoon of Tahaa. It affords offshore views of Tahaa the Virgin Island (1.5 miles), Raiatea the Sacred Island (10 miles), Bora-Bora the Magic Island (15 miles), and Huahine the Vanilla Island (25 miles).

Three daily flights with Air Tahiti are available from Tahiti Faaa International Airport (35 minutes) or from Bora Bora (10 minutes) to the Raiatea Airport, where we will greet you and bring you by comfortable speed boat over the lagoon to Vahine Island (25 minutes).

As a special treat, guests may indulge themselves in a helicopter service which will fly you from Bora Bora or from Raiatea to Vahine Island in less than 10 minutes.

South Pacific climate...

The brightest sunshine, a caressing breeze carrying perfumes of Tiaré and Hibiscus, breathtaking sunsets, and the stars of the Southern hemisphere...

Tahiti's reputation as a paradise destination has much to owe to its enchanting weather. And Vahine Island, by its privileged position on the coral reef of a calm blue lagoon, a few dozen yards away from the roaring pacific ocean, is no exception.
