Power Walking & Jogging
Power walking throughout the resort can be a beautiful start to your days, unless you prefer long walks in the crystal-clear lagoon. You may also catch the shuttle boat to the main island of Taha’a to enjoy alternative walking or jogging options. Shuttles to Taha’a are free of charge.
Tennis Court
Located near the Fitness Center, the flood-lit tennis court will allow daytime or night time practice. Gear is available from the Front Desk.
Excursions
Having 2 islands (Raiatea and Taha’a) sharing the same lagoon (besides being a quite unique feature) creates an opportunity for a variety of excursions. Whether you are into culture and history, hiking, scuba diving, snorkeling, virgin islets exploration, wave runner adventure, jeep safari tours, nature discovery, sunset cruises, or helicopters tours, you will find your perfect Taha’a. Guest Relations will assist you in choosing the best tours to make your stay in the islands the most enriching, exciting and fun. Private options are also available.
Please note : Le Taha’a works with outside operators for the excursions. A minimum number of guests is required for the tours to operate. For that reason, we recommend bookings to be done on site rather than in advance. Furthermore, we would like to remind that tours are weather permitting.
Spa
The Spa is nestled in a beautiful exotic garden, overlooking the calm resort’s interior laguna and surrounded by bamboo trees. This little haven of peace is a true escape to a world of color, energy and deep well-being.
A wide range of massages as well as body exfoliations and wraps are available. Massages may also be enjoyed right on the lagoon as the sun sets over Bora Bora. Try Balneotherapy to fight against jetlag after a long flight.
“Monoi”, the sacred traditional Polynesian oil infused from coconuts and flowers is used for most treatments. This gift from earth will transport you to be in perfect harmony with nature. A reward for all senses.
