Motu Ahuna Villa the Unique Paradise on Bora -Bora

Really amazing and secluded. The snorkeling was fantastic inside the barrier reef, and there are also places you can swim right over the barrier and snorkel in the ocean along the one passage into the lagoon from the ocean. On the ocean side, we saw a Hawksbill sea turtle and Manta ray, along with thousands of other amazing fish. Kayaking was great as well, and we saw some sharks and sting rays. Beautifully landscaped quarter of the island, totally to yourself. Wow!

This property is perfect if you are looking for a secluded and relaxing place to get away from it all. The hoists were spectacular and the property even more so. The only slightly stressful experience is shipping for provisions. Make a list in advance. Otherwise book immediately.

The accommodation & situation were wonderful but isolated. Sunset was magical & feeding scraps to fish at the end of the dock was fun. Sharks & rays swim by. Jerry took us to the shop on arrival (bring your own bags). There’s a pharmacy close too. Tea had ample drinking water for us at the fare. We waited about an hour for the boat ride to the motu but Tatiana checked & the boat arrived. The return boat ride with SouLouLou was very prompt & he piloted carefully due to one of us having a sore back. Tatiana was very welcoming. When our French & English struggled she used a phone translation. The information book said that she could cook an evening meal; wish we’d known before shopping. She needs a couple of days’ notice. Confirm the cost – the booklet said 40,000 XPF per person, a typo? Reviews say a small boat is available. Tatiana said to talk to Tea about arranging it. Be aware that you need a boat license to use the boat; getting details ahead of time would be wise. There are well-behaved dogs that roam freely; lots of barking when you arrive but they’re friendly. Carpenter bees & geckos are part of the charm. We were there in July – hardly any mosquitos. This was during the Heiva period & cruise ships were in, which meant the performance drums were loud till about 10 pm. Being careful of water and electricity usage wasn’t hard; charge your electronics during the day. The wifi was fine for emails, Google etc.

Iaorana. We stayed at Motu Ahuna Villa in mid May and had chosen that time frame to be sort of in between the summer and winter seasons. It was a good choice with highs in the upper 80's and lows in the upper 70's every day. We had some rain, but not much, and there was a nice breeze much of the time. There were 4 of us (2 couples) and we had the most wonderful vacation. It truly was the trip of a lifetime. As others have said, you need a bit of an adventurous spirit or this is not the place for you. It helps to have at least one person with some boating experience. Cooking our own meals, including those over the fire pit (barbeque), was all part of the experience that we will forever cherish about this trip. I really enjoyed my cold 22 oz. Hinanos sitting on the picnic table by an evening campfire, watching the stars (there have to be more stars in Bora Bora!), and the boats coming and going through the pass in front of the Motu. We will never forget the great memories that we've taken away from this vacation. From the very beginning when Maeva met us at the airport, we knew everything was going to be great. The homemade Leis she brought us were beautiful, and much nicer than those for others staying at resorts. She is such a genuinely nice lady. Everyone was very kind and welcoming to us throughout our stay. There was a slight communication barrier with Joelle and Tatiyana (spelling?), but they were both very nice and it was good to know that there was someone on the island that we could go to if we needed for any reason. The villa was perfect and certainly as described. We enjoyed watching every sunrise and sunset every day we were there. On our trips to Vaitape in the small boat, we had no problems and everyone in the village that we met was equally friendly. We all will never forget the smell of the fresh baguettes being brought out from the oven to the front of the store at Chin Lee's or Super U. They were so good and I'm sure we'll never find them that fresh again any where here in the U.S. Rocky, our tour guide on the jeep safari, was perfect. He was very friendly and knowledgeable, and answered all our questions about the island. My wife and my sister will cherish the black pearls they brought home from Bora Bora. Your store (The Farm) is incredible! I hope we are able to return some day. Thanks again (Mauru' uru) and if you ever need a good reference for your villa, I would be more than happy to provide one.
