InterContinental Resort Tahiti

Just the thought of Tahiti evokes calming images of a Polynesian paradise, and InterContinental Tahiti Resort lives up to the dream. Far from everyday life, yet only eight hours by air from the U.S. West Coast, guests share a 30-acre garden set with Polynesian colonial–style guest rooms, infinity-edge pools, and a natural lagoon aquarium. Thirty-one thatched-roof guest bungalows perch on stilts over the crystal lagoon.

While meeting rooms host groups of up to 280 indoors, outdoor venues entertain up to 1,500 under starry skies. The acclaimed Tahitian dance group Grands Ballets de Tahiti regularly earns rave reviews from meeting guests. Other favorite group experiences include snorkeling and PADI five-star dives over the coral reefs and excursions around Tahiti and to sister islands Moorea and Bora Bora.
