One evening we will join the Polynesian culture and see a live show with fire dancers and tahitian traditions!A great opportunity to connect and learn from the open heartedness, pure joy and wisdom of the native polynesians - these people are so immaculate in their capacity to give and receive.

We will enjoy pescatarian food prepared by a private chef from local sourced ingredients.

There will be several dishes at each meal and always dessert. In the morning, there are usually smoothies, fruits, “Yum-o-fruits”, buckwheat pancakes (for those with gluten intolerance), local bread, jams, vegan spreads.

In the evening the chef will prepare a fresh vegetable soup accompanied by several other light dishes.

There will be options of vegan steaks made from uru and cassava (several flavors: Indian/Provençal/Mexican and 100% local) and specialties made from cassava. Also a whole range of very original vegan tapas ideal for light and fresh meals.

The products are 80% local, from the garden and the Lycée's organic farm. The rest comes from “ma’a en pot” (bulk groceries) or organic dry.

*All meals will be provided with the exception of 2 dinners - you will have the opportunity to explore the island and try a local restaurant.

On the edge of the lagoon overlooking a stunning white sand beach accessed by a private staircase. The villa is located directly on the lagoon - it is ideal for kayaking, swimming or sunbathing sessions. The provided kayaks will allow us to explore the crystal clear waters.
