Motu Teta
Tahitian dreams on this exclusive retreat in the middle of French Polynesia


Airy, open villas that encourage the gentle South Pacific breeze to cool and comfort, and refined Tahitian style comprising hardwoods and natural tactile materials, make up the accommodations on Mohu Teta, a private slice of French Polynesia with not a soul around for miles. Here, with the exception of the solicitous attention of manager and chef Celine, plus local guides Ugo and Heiarii, the complete nine-acre islet is your exclusive tropical bolthole. The siren song waters of the Rangiroa lagoon provide manifold activities, enabled by the island’s suite of boats, sports equipment and excursion plans.
