Motu Tane
South Pacific paradise a hop away from Bora Bora
Entirely encircled by white sand beach and covered in lush tropical gardens and palms, this three-acre Motu (reef islet) presents a picturesque idyll to kick back in sybaritic bliss. Housing guests in thatched-roof bungalows, including the main residence of 2500-square-feet, all chic, modern Christian Liaigre-designed spaces that exude a contemporary island elegance. Here a library and dining room provide space to socialise, the staffed kitchen whipping up Tahitian delights and dishes from further afield. Water sports aplenty, and with a 26-foot Boston Whaler on hand to venture out for diving, fishing and sightseeing, not to mention to fully equipped gym back on land – there’s plenty to do.
