Motu Fara is a "jewel of the Tuamotus," offering an intimate escape on a 16,000-square-meter private island. The resort is specifically designed for travelers who want to immerse themselves in the raw marine beauty of Rangiroa without sacrificing modern comforts like air conditioning and private pools. The island has recently shifted toward a more versatile guest experience, offering "Airbnb-style" independent stays with fully equipped kitchens for those seeking autonomy, while still maintaining the infrastructure for high-end, full-service retreats. It is an ideal base for world-class drift diving and snorkeling in the Avatoru Pass, located literally at your doorstep.
Accommodations & Design The island features two distinct luxury villas constructed from exotic hardwoods, blending contemporary comfort with authentic Polynesian charm.
Villa Fara Nui: The larger residence (approx. 300 sqm), accommodating up to 8 guests across three bedrooms and a mezzanine level for children. It features a private infinity pool, a large living area with a 190-cm flat-screen TV (Netflix/Cable), and a foosball table.
Villa Fara Iti: An intimate villa (approx. 250 sqm) for up to 6 guests. It features two elegant bedrooms, a private pool, and its own fully equipped kitchen and spacious terrace.
Design Elements: Both villas are soundproofed and individually decorated with local art, featuring "sea-to-island" views and expansive indoor-outdoor living spaces.
Amenities & Inclusions Service levels at Motu Fara can be tailored to the guest's preference:
The "New Formula" (Self-Catering): Provides full access to the villas' gourmet kitchens, private pools, and laundry facilities. One complimentary boat crossing to the main village per day is included.
Full Service (Optional): Can include a private chef, breakfast service, and a 24-hour concierge. The on-site "Restaurant Bar Motu Fara" is a stilt-based structure over the water, specializing in French and Polynesian fusion.
Recreation: Guests have access to snorkeling gear, kayaks, and canoes. The island also features an attached winery, a small boutique shop, and a library for quiet afternoons.
How Private Is This Island? Privacy at Motu Fara is exceptional due to its low density. With only two villas on the entire 4-acre property, guest groups have vast stretches of the shoreline to themselves. The island is separated from the main village by the Avatoru Pass, creating a physical moat that ensures zero uninvited foot traffic. For those booking a full island buyout, the staff provides a "ghost service" model—available immediately via WhatsApp or radio but otherwise maintaining a discreet distance to ensure the island feels entirely like your own private family estate.
