Raiatea is a remote island with little infrastructure. It is breathtakingly beautiful. But it is not set up for tourists, which is fine, but visitors must be prepared to make their own food and carry water, driving at least 1 hour to find a restaurant or supermarket . Raiatea sur mer is a freestanding room /bathroom within a lovely home, owned by a friendly couple who want to visit with you and talk, in French. They will also cook you dinner if you arrange it with them . The dinner is lavishly done , pricey, but definitely nice. The bedroom, thankfully, has a mini split air conditioner, as it was very very hot. They lent us a kayak to tool around in inside the reef. We had a lovely time. There is a UNESCO world heritage site, a Marae, within 2 miles of our homestay.

What a warm welcome & farewell from the hosts, very peaceful far away from hustle&bustle but super close to botanical garden&historical site, fresh fruits directly from the garden, baguette in the morning, and pizza with salad that Henriette and Gilles prepared for our last supper at their beautiful place. You have your own terrace, however, you share another big nice terrace and spacious kitchen with the hosts and other guests (one more house). Henriette also organized an excursion for us to Tahaa, with the lunch on a private motu, which is very recommended (with Are Tours). Our daughter loved playing with hosts’ dog and cats.

Wonderful, well planned and executed bungalows. Excellent breakfast and dinner are optional, but well worth it. Possibility to prepare your own meal in a fully equipped kitchen. Manta and turtle are in the bay (free canoes), black tips and an intact reef nearby, the owner Gilles will take you there with his speedboat. Felt at home on the other side of the planet.

Henrietta's homemade jams (banana and coconut are my favourites) with fresh baguettes, tahitian donuts, yogurt, cheese, fresh off their own trees pomelo, passion fruit and bananas, juice, coffee - and an omelette. And that's all in ONE breakfast.

Die Unterkunft ist sehr sehr schön gelegen und ist wie ein kleines Paradies. Und so sind auch die Gastgeber, Henriette und Gilles! Beide kümmern sich um alle Bedürfnisse und machen den Aufenthalt zu etwas ganz Besonderem! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können diese Unterkunft zu 100% empfehlen!

La gentillesse d Henriette et Gilles a rendu notre séjour inoubliable. Aux petits soins pour leurs invités vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés. Amoureux de leur île et de leur culture ils vous feront partager leur quotidien qui rendra votre séjour exceptionnel. Merci encore nous garderons un merveilleux souvenir de notre passage à Raiatea sur Mer.

There's a large and fully equipped kitchen that is shared by guests and the owners. You can prepare your own or for a reasonable price they can prepare food for you. The owners (Henrette and Gilles) are such wonderful people and made our stay there, one that will be hard to beat. Many thanks to them for going above the standard for hosts.

We loved everything. The hosts are fantastic, so kind and generous. The unit is large with privacy, lovely views and lots of space for unpacking. We opted to have breakfast provided and it was amazing. We were treated like family. The location is lovely, remote so you definitely need a car. The best beach on the island is just a few kilometers away next to the great UNESCO historical site!

Nous avons passé un super séjour chez Gilles et Henriette. L’accueil est comme à la maison, on a à disposition une cuisine, un frigidaire, et un super salon avec vue sur mer pour manger, boire et verre ou tout simplement prendre un petit déjeuner pour annoncer les belles journées sur Raiatea. Un snack de qualité est à 5 -7min en voiture. Dans cette pension vous aurez la chance d’avoir une petite plage privatisée pour vous baigner, sachant que Ra’iatea ne dispose pas de plage c’est un luxe. Gilles vous sera de bons conseils pour vous indiquer les endroits pour nager et visiter le jardin de corail et vous aurez a disposition des kayaks pour vous rendre sur ces magnifiques spots.
