Tahiti hotels is amongst the most glamourous in the world and you'll find several large hotel chains with beach resorts throughout the islands. The islands are renowned for their beautiful overwater bungalows, perched a few metres above a crystal turquoise lagoon full of colourful fish, with a glass floor or fish feeding trap and a private veranda with steps into the water. There are more than 20 resorts in Tahiti with such beautiful accommodations, some boasting over 100 overwater bungalows. However, the cheapest overwater bungalow costs over US$600 per couple per night so if you don't have that sort of money to spare, start thinking of another dream! Thankfully there is more affordable room categories at most resorts in Tahiti as well as a good network of Pensions or guesthouses for those on a budget. However, compared to the other South Pacific destinations, prices here are a lot more expensive.

The other Society Islands include Raiatea, uahine and Maupiti which are all far less commercial and offer a more authentic holiday experience. However, the further you go from the main tourist centres, the less English spoken by the resort patrons.

The other popular tourist area is the vast Tuamotu Group about an hour flight to the east of Tahiti. Although there are over 50 islands in this group, all vast low lying atoll islands, only a handful of them have tourist infrastructure. The largest of the atolls, and the second largest atoll in the world, is Rangiroa and is renowened as one of the best diving destinations in the South Pacific for marine life, natably sharks and rays. Pearl farming is its only other commercial industry. Other exeptional but less commercial diving atolls with hotels include Fakarava, Tikehau and Manihi, all connected by regular flights from Tahiti. Hotels in the Tuamotu Group ranges from luxury small boutique resorts to pension guesthouses on the beach. Dive operators can be found throughout the islands.
