With dramatic volcanic peaks and an aquamarine lagoon backdropping expansive lush gardens, the InterContinental Tahiti Resort & Spa is your gateway to the archipelago of French Polynesia. On the vibrant main island of Tahiti, two kilometers from the airport, our exotic overwater bungalows and tropical accommodations are a sublime jumping-off point for must-see cultural events and enviable panoramas.

Restaurant

La Casa Bianca, located five minutes from the Resort at the Marina Taina, serves Italian cuisine. They are well known for their 1 Meter Pizza and local events that change every week at their Dinghy Bar. Take a stroll to walk off your dinner on the marina and see local "Poti Marara" boats and super yachts.

Dine beside our splendid infinity pool with views to Moorea island at Te Tiare restaurant. Decor is relaxed and stylish, and the Tahitian menu specializes in fresh fish and prime New Zealand meat. The bustling open kitchen and Polynesian theme nights ensure a memorable dining experience.

Le Retro Restaurant serves French and local cuisine, and is situated on Boulevard Pomare, in front of the Vaima shopping center. It is a fantastic spot for lunch after visiting downtown Papeete, or to simply sit and watch others walk along the sidewalk.

This lively bar features typical Polynesian carvings, a woven roof and a gorgeous poolside setting. Gather with friends and family, and sip freshly mixed cocktails from coconut shells, or choose from a menu of international beers, wines and spirits. Live musical entertainment creates a vibrant mood.

Jimmy's, located in downtown Papeete next to City Hall, is said to have the best Asian cuisine in Tahiti. If you're looking for Chinese, Thai or Vietnamese cuisine, look no further; this is the spot for you. Try one of the deliciously fragrant curries.

An unforgettable restaurant with an elegant ambience, Le Lotus serves gourmet French cuisine accompanied by fine wines. Perched on stilts above the water, the two intimate circular rooms feature refined timber furnishings, a woven roof and open sides that ensure unspoiled views of Moorea island.

This stylish lounge is the perfect venue to enjoy the best sunset views, for after-dinner drinks or guests arriving later in the evenings. You can choose from aperitifs, cocktails and premium champagnes in a refined atmosphere, enjoying panoramic views of the lagoon and Moorea. The Lobby Bar Terrace is open 24 hours a day, and offers a menu of light meals and snacks.

Nowhere on the island but in Le Lotus can you swim up to the bar, take a seat and cool off with a beer or soft drink without ever leaving the water. Tropical cocktails and freshly squeezed island fruit juices are the featured attractions, but there’s a refreshing drink for everyone in the sand-bottomed infinity pool. Of course, landlubbers are also welcome in the relaxed bar environs.

Try the grilled fish, fresh from the sea. Take your pick from one of the many local roulotte restaurants on the waterfront. These mobile restaurants actually gather every evening on the port of Papeete and set up their restaurants. You can actually see your dish being cooked in front of you. They serve everything from chow mein to steak with french fries.
