About this house rental

Escape to your private Polynesian Villa on Motu Ahuna and enjoy the luxurious, isolated sanctuary of your exotic fare on Bora Bora, considered one of the most exclusive and beautiful island destinations in the world. Separated from the main island, Motu Ahuna was the traditional retreat of Bora Bora’s high chiefs, and where Puni, a fierce warrior-chief, exchanged gifts with Captain James Cook, the first European visitor. The exceptional location of the islet, with its incredible view of mythic Mount Otemanu across the turquoise lagoon, never lost its attraction and served as natural decor in several classic South Seas films like “Tabu” or “Mutiny on the Bounty” with Marlon Brando. Ancient Bora Bora royalty certainly knew how to relax and now, you too can experience the ever-present soothing powers of this enchanted island. Your morning will start invariably with a magnificent sunrise unfolding right in front of you. To fill your day you can walk the early morning beach where the only footprints will be your own. Go swimming or snorkeling in the lagoon, your natural spa, which, due to the nearness of the only pass to the open Pacific, is charged with invigorating ocean minerals. Explore the reef, or paddle your outrigger canoe to marvel at the coral and multitude of colorful fish. Or, indulge the ultimate farniente, and just daydream in your hammock to the sound of rustling palm leaves in a breeze. Private and discreet, Villa Ahuna offers two fare (thatched roof bungalows) and one large fare pote (thatched roof open air lounge with bar and kitchen) situated on four acres of landscaped beach property. It has its own rain water supply and solar electricity. Perfect for two couples or a family who are looking for a secluded getaway on beautiful Bora Bora.

This property is perfect if you are looking for a secluded and relaxing place to get away from it all. The hoists were spectacular and the property even more so. The only slightly stressful experience is shipping for provisions. Make a list in advance. Otherwise book immediately.

The accommodation & situation were wonderful but isolated. Sunset was magical & feeding scraps to fish at the end of the dock was fun. Sharks & rays swim by. Jerry took us to the shop on arrival (bring your own bags). There’s a pharmacy close too. Tea had ample drinking water for us at the fare. We waited about an hour for the boat ride to the motu but Tatiana checked & the boat arrived. The return boat ride with SouLouLou was very prompt & he piloted carefully due to one of us having a sore back. Tatiana was very welcoming. When our French & English struggled she used a phone translation. The information book said that she could cook an evening meal; wish we’d known before shopping. She needs a couple of days’ notice. Confirm the cost – the booklet said 40,000 XPF per person, a typo? Reviews say a small boat is available. Tatiana said to talk to Tea about arranging it. Be aware that you need a boat license to use the boat; getting details ahead of time would be wise. There are well-behaved dogs that roam freely; lots of barking when you arrive but they’re friendly. Carpenter bees & geckos are part of the charm. We were there in July – hardly any mosquitos. This was during the Heiva period & cruise ships were in, which meant the performance drums were loud till about 10 pm. Being careful of water and electricity usage wasn’t hard; charge your electronics during the day. The wifi was fine for emails, Google etc.

The place is amazing and beautiful. A dream come true! We absolutely loved Motu Ahuna! To be surrounded by nature away from the world while feeling safe is the best. Tea, Tatiana and Joel were so helpful. Thank you for making it so easy to get to and from. We will definitely come back. John

An absolute stunning location and one of the highlights of our trip. This property is not for everyone, but if you're looking for something a little off the beaten path and don't mind "roughing it" a little bit, cooking your own meals, not having TV, etc. then you might want to consider this one. The snorkeling off the beach and around the reef is fantastic, the views of the surrounding islands and mountains are picturesque, and all the coconut you could possibly want. The bungalows and tiki hut give off a Swiss Family Robinson vibe, you could host a killer party at the Tiki Hut. We moved around French Polynesia and stayed on different islands and various VRBO's and resorts, and at the end we all agreed this was our favorite.

Amazing Girls trip which included my adult daughter and friend and still in awe of our recent stay at Fare Ahuna. Detached ourselves from our daily work life and just relaxed and explored the gorgeous waters of Bora Bora at any time of day! Joel and wife Tatiana are wonderful caretakers of the property and always easily available for any needs. Grocery shopping to the main island is available by boat per Joel. Fresh French bread, beautiful cheeses, fresh fish, local fruits graced our refrigerator. Don’t forget to load up on Water and mosquito coils as well. We are locals from Hawaii so this lifestyle was easy for us. Beautifully decorated bungalows with plenty enough of space for 2 in each room. Outside showers in front of each bungalow to rinse. The main living room/kitchen/bar area is such a large lovely space for dinners and gatherings. French press for coffee and all kitchen supplies are provided. Every sunset hour we all would hop in the double kayak and the one paddle board and go around the motu. We would play board games and hang out on the little deck over the water and jump in the water with our snorkel equipment throughout the day. We also made friends and miss our watch dog, (Totu) he was always by ourside. Such an magnificent escape to Fare Ahuna cannot wait to rebook and bring a guitar this time! Absolute perfection of a location🌺

This is a wonderful place to relax and unwind. It’s private and has one of the best views of the mountain. The caretakers Joel and Tatiana are easy to work with and are very helpful and welcoming. It’s a great space clean and comfortable. Motu Ahuna is one of my favorite places to stay in Bora Bora
