The Rangiroa atoll, the largest atoll in the archipelago, is home to Hotel Kia Ora Resort & Spa. The resort has 58 bungalows, including a mix of beach and overwater bungalows. Overwater bungalows are air conditioned, have WiFi, a terrace over the water with direct lagoon access, windows in the floor, and sliding glass doors to bring the outside in.

Meals are served at the Te Rairoa Restaurant and there’s a twice-weekly Polynesian buffet and dance show. Enjoy drinks at Miki Miki, an overwater bar, or book a private candlelight dinner facing the magnificent lagoon.

After a day of snorkeling or diving with The Blue Velvet Diving Center, enjoy a treatment at the Poekura Spa (its name means “Pearl of Light” in Tahitian)
