A top five worldwide diving spot

Rangiroa is known as a top five worldwide diving spot where you absolutely have to practice either snorkeling or diving. In the passes, between ocean and lagoon, you meet a very rare concentration of oceanic fishes and cetaceans: Grey sharks, hammerhead sharks, manta, barracuda, sailfish, dolphin and so on…

Diving centres in Rangiroa are all professional and all diving instructors are certified by local French authorities. Most of them are also part of the PADI organization.

The Maïtaï collaborates with the Six Passenger which is highly professional with a modern and comfortable centre where it is pleasant to stay awhile after or between two dives.

The Raie Manta club is also recommended and more especially if you are found of nature and if you are the cineast or photograph. This club was the first to open a long time ago by its actual owner Yves Lefèvre. Yves has been involved with its other company Cinémarine to the making of very well-known documentaries. He also took part in the edition of books dedicated to the local sea fauna and flora.

A few other clubs have also a solid experience like YaKa Plongée, which is very well located among coconut trees along a fantastic white sand beach. Marco Delecluse is diving in Rangiroa’s waters since more than twenty years and they are  with his partner Katy the right people to contact if you want to go for a quiet and safe day at sea.

A French restaurant with local Polynesian products

First of all, the restaurant is very well located. You can eat inside or outside but from everywhere you are very close to the sea and the landscape is gorgeous.

The menu is very well balanced between Tahitian and French recipes. Your stay at the hotel is a very good occasion to eat for lunch and dinner local fishes and sea food that cannot be fresher.

Don’t forget to taste the Tahitian raw fish prepared with local cocos milk and raw vegetables. Fish, in Rangiroa’s waters, is leaving at a place where pollution is very small or inexistent.

Breakfast is complete with eggs, fish, ham, bacon, fruit, vegetable, cereal, bread, honey, pastries and so on… Expressos can also be ordered for breakfast! You can go kayaking for a full day after this coffee…!

For lunch you can order from the menu but daily new dishes are suggested.
For dinner you can choose either the delicious and very complete buffet that is proposed at a very reasonable price or from the menu. The bar is a very comfortable place to stay for sunset or after dinner. Anyway, it is open at any time of the day and closes late.

A location with a taste of paradise ★★★

The hotel is very well located along a white sand beach on the inside shore of the atoll where the swell is rare and the snorkeling is good.

The rooms and bungalows have been nicely built among coconut trees and several of them are located along the beach with a very nice sea view.

This is a very convenient place to practice outdoor activities like diving, kayaking, sailing, fishing or snorkeling. The hotel has bicycles available to reach nautical and diving centers or the transfers can also be organized by the operators. Most of them are located at less than 5 kilometers from the hotel.

A sustainable development policy for several years ★★

Maïtaï Rangiroa Hotel is Earth checked bronze certified which means that environment is a key concern in the development policy for both the Maïtaï Hotel and the Beachcomber Group that manages locally the famous InterContinental Hotels in the islands of Bora Bora, Tahiti, Moorea and on the atoll of Tetiaroa.

Due to its location, the hotel is not able to manage its air-cooling system with a deep sea collecting system like it is the case for other hotels of the group. However attention is paid to the energy management either for lighting or for water heating which are operated with solar panels.

The group is socially responsible and the hotel staff is operational for a long time. Most of them are local and can give you all necessary advice to organize your stay or to choose your activities.

The restaurant offers local food and a great variety of fishes ; local wine is surprisingly available from the only worldwide vineyard that has ever been grown on an atoll!
