About
Location
Tikehau Atoll
About 200 miles north by northeast of the main French Polynesia island of Tahiti lies the Tikehau Atoll, a spectacular crown of coral and sand 16 miles long and 14 miles wide. The atoll is a thin white line of coral, sand and palm tree, no more than half a mile wide, but it encircles a lagoon of pristine, otherworldly beauty – a place Jacques Cousteau visited in 1987 and found a greater variety of fish species than any other location in French Polynesia.
The Resort
Ninamu Resort
Hidden away on a private island in the southwest corner of the atoll, Ninamu (Nee-Nah-Moo) Resort is a luxury minded outdoor enthusiasts’ retreat. We cater to surfers, divers, fishermen, kite surfers, paddle boarders or anyone who loves cruising in tropical waters that are bursting with life and energy. Everyone should experience a pristine atoll in the middle of the South Pacific once in their life.
Guest Reviews on TripAdvisor
“My husband and I just spent 4 nights at Ninamu Resort. We stayed in an open air waterfront bungalow. We had an amazing time. The food was fantastic. The croissants are some of the best I've ever had, including ones from patisseries in France. Each bungalow is uniquely designed. Chris, the owner, is definitely a construction genius.”

“We throughly enjoyed our 8 day stay at Ninamu, the daily excursions were exactly why I chose Ninamu Resort. The snorkeling on the reef outside the passage way contained the highest concentration of tropical fish I have ever seen in a lifetime of freediving. All the meals prepared by Cheffy were excellent!!”

“We had a lovely time at the Ninamu resort in Tikehau. The staff were so nice. The food was incredible and we loved our bungalow! Happy hour was a lot of fun. Wish we could have stayed longer, but such good memories.”

“I had the most wonderful experience at Ninamu. There was a large group of us (14 people) booked there to celebrate a birthday. The owner and his wife could not have been better hosts. We were taken on excursions to explore the surrounding islands.”

“This place is heaven on earth! We loved the solitude we found on this private island. Whether hanging out in a cabana or swimming in the stunning blue water, we felt like we had the island all to ourselves. The service was outstanding and the food was always phenomenal.”

“Ninamu Resort is the only resort on a small island. Very small and beautiful. Perfect location. A lot of fish in a beautiful coloured lagoon. A lot of Mantas. Awesome meals, very traditional. Good for watersports and to relax.”
