This was one of the best places we have stayed anywhere in the world. Amazing views and staff. Restaurant was 5 star, make the dinner reservation. Perfect 10/10
Had an amazing time here! Everyone who worked here was so friendly! They view from our bungalow (Maara) was breathtaking, as was the view from the restaurant. The food and drinks were great, the ground were very nicely manicured and beautiful and the pool was clean and refreshing. Wish we could have stayed here longer! Thanks!!!!
Beautiful and unique “hobbit cabins” in far south Tahiti… two warm pools, fish ponds, amazing flowers and foliage, fantastic sunsets, great breakfast.
Be aware that the bungalows are open to the elements and there may be a short uphill walk from the parking lot. Nets are provided for the beds and we didn’t have a serious issue with bugs. There are also chickens wandering the grounds, which is fun.
Vanira lodge is wonderful, just as described and shown in photos, if not better. We stayed in Lichee. We ate both nights in the restaurant and the food was the best we had on both Tahiti and Moorea.
I loved the beautiful, well cared for gardens, pools and unique lodges. Quiet and relaxing place. Good food eaten while enjoying beautiful sunsets from the restaurant. Would return here. Pleasant staff too.
Wonderful views and the whole site on the side of a mountain has Fairy Terns and long tailed Tropic birds flying over. We stayed for seven nights in bungalow Vai Iti - bliss.
We had a magical stay at Vanira Lodge. We loved the jaw-dropping views from out perch. Some members of the family enjoyed the open-air feel of the bungalow more than others, but the pool was amazing and food at the restaurant was delicious.
A lovely place to stay
Rooms are very nice natural design and quite comfortable. Dinner in the restaurant is excellent. The grounds are lovely. We only spent 1 night because of our return flight but would stay longer next time just to enjoy Vanira Lodge.
If you are going to stay in Teahupo’o this is where I recommend to stay
Vanira is a perfect retreat for a rustic getaway - no room service, no hand and foot service.
In short- perfect for us! Excellent staff and pristine grounds to enjoy.
I loved it all. Unique bungalows overlooking the Pacific and Tahiti Nui. Quiet with beautiful flora and fauna. A very special place I hope to return to.
A really beautiful area with natural surroundings. The hut is an open air space that is made of natural wood and makes you feel like you a staying in a tree house. The grounds are gorgeous with 2 pools and a volleyball net.
Vanira Lodge was a great choice for our last night in French Polynesia after a great trip. It's about a 1 1/2 hour drive from PPT but well worth it. Great restaurant, amazing views from the hill and a gorgeous jungle setting. Each bungalow is one of a kind. If we came back with kids it would work great.
This place is very unique and cool to stay at. We stayed in a partially open plan unit, slept under mosquito nets, and the shower and kitchen were open to nature. The views were spectacular. the nature units are not for those timid with little creatures. This felt like ultra luxury glamping, loved it!
Pro- amazing views, great jungle vibes, open air cabins, two great pools, kitchenette, great for families, great service, and super clean.
Con- don't expect air conditioning, mosquitos (there are bug nets to sleep under), no wifi in cabins but there is at checkin location
