Top Resorts for Your Honeymoon in Moorea
The Best Moorea Honeymoon Resorts
Just a short hop from Tahiti, Moorea is everything couples picture when they think of French Polynesia: jagged green mountains, calm turquoise lagoons, and a slower, quieter pace than Bora Bora. It's ideal for couples who want a mix of adventure and pure relaxation, and it's often easier on the budget.
Why Choose Moorea for Your Honeymoon?
- Dramatic scenery. Moorea's volcanic peaks and two famous bays make it one of the most photogenic islands in the South Pacific.
- Easy to reach. It's close to Tahiti, so it's simple to add to a Bora Bora honeymoon.
- Adventure and calm. Snorkeling, hiking, lagoon tours and sunset cruises, plus plenty of time to do absolutely nothing.
- Warm, welcoming island life. Moorea feels local and relaxed, not built-up.

How to Fit Moorea into Your Trip
- Pair it with Bora Bora. Many couples spend a few nights on Moorea, then finish with an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora. See our Bora Bora overwater guide.
- Give it time. With long flights to French Polynesia, we recommend at least 10 nights overall. Here's a sample French Polynesia itinerary.
- Know the logistics. Flights, inter-island hops and ferries all need to line up. Start with everything you need to know about traveling to Tahiti.
"Moorea is where couples slow down. Bora Bora is the postcard, but Moorea is often the part of the trip they talk about most."
