Le Méridien Tahiti is located 20 minutes (10km) from the airport and 30 minutes (15km) from downtown Papeete, overlooking the lagoon and island of Moorea with direct access to a natural white sand beach. Renovated in 2010 with a new modern décor and design, this resort is ideal for a longer stay. Only a few minutes walk to a local shopping centre, home to a very well stocked supermarket and to a variety of boutiques and restaurants. The Museum of Tahiti & her islands is also within walking distance, not to mention direct access in front of the resort to a protected coral garden, fabulous for snorkelling. Or if you prefer to kick back and relax, the unique sandy bottomed swimming pool is a great spot and enjoy a cocktail as you appreciate a sensational sunset.

There’s a vibrant international arts scene taking shape at Le Méridien Tahiti. L’Atelier, a new onsite art space, features contemporary artists from across French Polynesia and around the world. Unlike most galleries, L’Atelier draws creative guests with exhibitions as well as with artists themselves. An inviting setting for lectures, art workshops, and where guests will find fresh opportunities to peruse contemporary art, as well as learn techniques and be inspired by artists while creating their own original works.
