What they say
Also in AFAR.
Situated upon one of the many pink-sand motus (islets) that comprise the atoll, amid the lushness of a wild coconut grove, this resort features villas over the water and on the beach.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set on Motu Tianoa, this secluded atoll offers pink beaches and thriving coral reefs a fifteen-minute boat ride from Tuherahera.
The rooms
Thatched pandanus roofs shelter timber interiors, while glass floor panels reveal passing marine life beneath your feet.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The curved swimming pool sits on a timber deck facing the lagoon, framed by coconut palms.
Poreho Restaurant
The open-air dining room sits beneath a high thatched ceiling, serving Polynesian cuisine overlooking the lagoon.
At the table
Outrigger canoes deliver breakfast directly to your deck, and thatched timber bars mix cocktails beneath the palms.
