HOTEL LE MAHANA HUAHINE
Our Resort Report
Our Thoughts on Hotel Le Mahana Huahine, Baie d'Avea - Parea - Huahine Iti, French Polynesia
Previously known as "Hotel Relais Mahana", this great little resort located on the south-west Coast of Huahine-Iti Island on a big, curving bay it faces west enjoying superb sunsets. The resort fronts a perfect beach with tropical lawns and gardens in profusion. Apart from the authentic-style South-Seas Bungalows, the piece de resistance of the whole place is the waterfront restaurant and bar which has an open, covered sandy area out front facing the pier which is a perfect location for long, lingering lunches and evening sunset cocktails as the visiting yachts ride quietly at anchor out in the lagoon. The coral garden in the lagoon just off the end of the resort’s pontoon jetty, ensures that snorkelling is a major attraction for guests at Hotel Le Mahana Huahine and snorkel gear with fins is available for complimentary use by guests as are kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, beach towels and beach chairs. Free Wifi is available in the lobby. Huahine is a super laid-back sort of a place, so there are plenty of relaxing activities available here. Hotel Le Mahana Huahine has a rental vehicle desk in the foyer lounge where it is easy to hire cars, bicycles and scooters. For those staying more than a day or two, a scooter is a great way to get around and mingle with the local scooter riders. A bicycle is a good way to reach the local village which is located just around the headland from the resort and if you want to experience something really special, consider a horse ride on the beach or a lagoon cruise which includes lunch at tables under umbrellas set up in the waters of the lagoon. There are plenty of more active pursuits too - such as hiking, 4WD Tours, Scuba Diving, Kite Surfing, Jet-Ski riding and Fishing. The restaurant is well known for its food quality and the location is ideal.
