Garden-bungalow honeymoon on Huahine, the quieter Society Island add-on.
"Garden-bungalow honeymoon on Huahine, the quieter Society Island add-on."
Hotel Maitai Lapita Village Huahine sits on the working west-coast of Huahine — the quietest of the Society Islands and the working off-the-grid extension for the multi-island honeymoon couple. Thirty bungalows across the property, every bungalow built in the working traditional-Polynesian fare (thatched-roof stilt-house) architecture, and the upper-tier Lake Bungalow (overlooking the working freshwater lake on the property) is the working flagship. The asset is the working Huahine-island scale and the working off-the-grid Polynesian-village positioning — Huahine is the least-touristed of the working Society Islands (the working population is 6,000, vs Bora Bora's 9,000 and Moorea's 16,000), and the working Maitai Lapita Village property is built around the working Polynesian-fare architectural language. Hotel Maitai Lapita Village is the right pick for the working multi-island French-Polynesia honeymoon couple who wants the working off-the-grid Society Island extension — the trip's working pattern is 4 nights at Bora Bora plus 3 nights at Huahine for the working calmer-Polynesian-village extension.
Lake Bungalow (the working freshwater-lake flagship) or Garden Bungalow for the working couple-of-friends option.
The working freshwater-lake on the property is the working morning swim asset — empty until 9am. The working Huahine archaeological-site programme is the working day-three cultural-immersion.
Hotel Maitai Lapita Village Huahine sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Bora Bora for a Honeymoon list. It scored an aggregate 9.2/10 across the three editorial criteria — competitive against the field but, on a honeymoon-specific factors, the angle above is what earned its rank. For the alternatives in the same Bora Bora neighbourhood, see Huahine and adjacent. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.
If you have already chosen the dates, our editor recommends booking the room twelve weeks ahead. The best suites with the right view orientation go first, and inventory for the popular months is quoted in months, not weeks. Suite-level rooms with private plunge pools or terraces — the ones that earn this rank — are typically the first to sell out.
