Ideally situated near the village of Fare, the Maitai Lapita Village offers 32 comfortable bungalows set in a tropical garden atmosphere. The site of the hotel is lined with a natural lake and a beautiful white sand beach allowing you to take advantage of the tranquility and the rich culture of Huahine.

The ancestors of the Polynesians established the village of Lapita on this site. As potters and fishermen, they left numerous traces and archaeological artefacts which were excavated during the construction of the hotel. These artifacts are now displayed in the hotel reception: jars and dishes, as well as fishhooks, weapons (casse-têtes literally translates as head breaker) or coconut graters. Your stay at the Maitai Lapita Village will not only be a relaxing one but, in part, a discovery of Polynesian history.

During your stay, you shall observe the underlying theme of this ancient village in the architecture of the hotel and in the bungalows as also observed in the artifact found on site: the roofing of the bungalows recall the form of ancient canoes, replicas of furniture in the style of the chair of the renowned adventurer Omai, whale bones…

In the midst of this historical discovery, you will stay in a comfortable and spacious bungalow overlooking the lake or the gardens from your terrace. The décor is of the finest handcrafted quality, the gardens are restful and the lake beckons you to relaxation. Plus, a white sand beach is nearby for an equally peaceful ocean scape.

Local shops in the village of Fare are nearby for more exploration.
