Vaitape hotels

Top tips for finding the perfect Vaitape hotel deal

• To be at the heart of Vaitape, book a hotel next to the harbor, where you will find the port for the many cruise ships as well as the visitor information center and women’s handicrafts center. Only a short walk from the harbor is the boutique Villa Rea Hanaa.
• Budget accommodation can be found north of central Vaitape. If you’re looking for cheap hotels in Vaitape, Sunset Hill Lodge is very reasonable, or there is the waterfront Oa Oa Lodge which is also near good restaurants and the shopping district.
• Just outside the center of Vaitape, 13 minutes’ drive inland is the outstanding Mount Otemanu. The volcanic peak looms over the island and can be seen from many hotels in Vaitape, including Fare o’Eden House and Villa Bora Bora Lagoon.
• To get a real feel of Vaitape, you need to wander down the streets and experience the various shopping outlets that sell Polynesian arts and crafts. On Sundays, the harbor hosts a market so it’s a good idea to book hotels in Vaitape’s center to get good access to the market stalls.
• For the best views of the island, including Mount Pahia in the center of the island, book hotels in Vaitape close to Povai Bay. Overlooking the bay, Bora Bora Beach House offers guests wonderful views, as does Rohutu Fare, which is a short walk from the beach.
