“Nous avons vécu sur le Motu Ahuna un sejour unique. Vivre dans une maison traditionnelle offrant tout le confort nécessaire, décorée avec goût, au rythme des polynésiens, loin des touristes: quel luxe! Merci à Tea pour cet échange. Merci à Tatiana et Joël pour leur gentillesse. Aprendre à leur contact à faire du lait de coco pour prépare des recettes typiquement polynésiennes fut pour nous une expérience délicieuse. Grâce au bateau prêté par Tea nous avons pu faire de nombreuses activités snorkling, visite de l'île par la mer, baignade avec les raies et requins à pointe noires...Nous avions repéré les meilleurs spots lors d'une excursion organisée dès le début de notre séjour. Bora Bora et son lagon est une destination de rêve mais vivre sur ce motu idéalement situé pour admiré de magnifiques couchers de soleil avec pour seuls bruits, le vent la pluie et la mer est une expérience exceptionnelle que nous espérons pouvoir revivre. ”

More details:
Villa Ahuna is situated on the southern end of Motu Ahuna islet.
There are no direct neighbors, but about 7 Polynesians live on the northern part. As you may have seen on our website, Villa Ahuna consists of 3 fare (traditional Polynesian houses) built right on the beach facing the prevailing trade winds, which provide ventilation and keep mosquitos away. The middle fare is quite large and serves as lounge, bar and kitchen, its sides are open but equipped with blinds. The kitchen has a simple gas stove and a solar powered refrigerator.
The are two comfortable fare, one on each side of the main house, with bedroom, king size bed, mosquito netting, ceiling fan, a small desk, as well as private bathroom with hot water shower. Other electrical appliances like washing machine or hair dryer work only with the generator, but it is best to do without. Included in your rent is a 14 feet motorboat with a 15 HP outboard motor to use at your leisure for sightseeing, going to different snorkel areas, hotels, restaurants or the grocery store - only 15 minutes away - in the main village of Vaitape.
There is also a Tahitian outrigger canoe and a Kayak that you can use.
Villa Ahuna has no home phone service. However, we will lend you a small vini local cell phone on arrival, so you can be reached from overseas and make calls for restaurant or excursion reservations. You will need to purchase a phone credit card at the local post office or in a grocery store. Only outgoing calls are charged, incoming calls to your vini are free.
Should you have a laptop computer with USB port, we can provide you with a key and code for internet access. It is not as fast as what you are used to, but for e-mails it works just fine.
The islet Motu Ahuna is not connected to the main island’s electricity or water. We collect rainwater, stock it and use it in our bathrooms.
Brackish water is used in the kitchen, toilets and in the garden.
Our electricity is from solar panels during the day and, if needed, from a generator at night. The generator must be switched on and off manually. We will brief you on this. To be a modern Robinson Crusoe,
It is very important to manage electricity and wisely save the very precious water!
About the owner:
I grew up on the island of Bora Bora and will always remember the many happy moments when my parents would take my two brothers and myself for boat rides to snorkel, explore the reefs or to fish. Often, we would beach the boat on Motu Ahuna islet, where I loved to comb the beaches for shells or driftwood. We cooked freshly caught fish on hot coral stones and climbed palm trees for coconuts to drink their pure water. Years later, when I studied Biology in France, I would dream about Bora Bora and having a home on one of its pretty islets. When I returned, my parents urged me to pursue my dream, so for years, I’ve slowly been creating my own little island Paradise. The result is Villa Ahuna, and I am happy to share it with you.

Tea's reviews
As a host (2)“We swapped with Tea for our honeymoon. It was above and beyond what we imagined. Simply stunning, pure relaxation and we will be back at some point. I have a boating background so the idea of a little tinny to run around the lagoon in on our own schedule without having to take expensive tours was a huge draw card. We fell into a nice routine of a morning explore to a new snorkel location, lunch somewhere nice on the mainland, a quick shop to pick up some fresh fish for the fire-pit bbq and then we'd race home to enjoy the tranquility of the island and sunset drinks at the end of the jetty. Our 18 month old was captivated by the wildlife under the sea and on land (hermit crab hunting was her fav). A data sim kept me just in touch enough to keep things running at home but didn't work well enough to have to look at it much....that's my excuse anyway! A few good lunch spots around and we did one of the resorts for a day pass and swim with the rays. Found a great new snorkel spot every day and made it all around the lagoon. Good mix of adventure and chill. The real secret is time on the island itself. Magical.”
