We hesitated to post a review for Villa Corallina because we want to keep this gem for ourselves!! Villa Corallina was our last stop on our 4-week trip throughout French Polynesia and it was fantastic.
The hosts and owners, Marco and Tatiana, are absolutely delightful people. Marco picked us up at the beach across the motu and kindly took us to the market for some provisions. He knows all the good spots! After a short boat ride across the lagoon, we arrived a the peaceful motu and made our way to the quaint little cottage nestled in the lush tropical surroundings. The cottage is well equiped and just the perfect size for a couple. We spend a week there and we didn't want to leave! Marco and Tatiana are on-site and available for anything at anytime, but they are also very discreet and they let you enjoy your solitude. Kayaks are available to tour the motu, or you can simply tour it on foot. There are other residents on the motu, but we didn't see anyone. Boat tours come almost everyday for ray feeding and snorkeling on the otherside of the motu, but it's far enough that no tourists come around to disburb your peace at the Villa. The snorkeling around the area is great and there's even a small restaurant on the adjacent motu for a great lunch. The location is perfect and we spent every night on the beach admiring the beautiful sunsets.
We can't say enough of the place...You'll have to experience it yourself!
