A room-only base, with dining across the lagoon-facing restaurants.
About the Resort
Between Moorea's two bays
Hilton Moorea Lagoon spreads across the north coast between Cook's Bay and Opunohu Bay, so the sun rises and sets over the water from the bungalows. The overwater bungalows have glass floors, claw-foot tubs and lagoon ladders, and the house reef brings stingrays and black-tip reef sharks within snorkelling distance. Toatea Bar & Creperie sits over the water — Moorea's only overwater restaurant — and a 4x4 safari climbs into the island's interior of lookouts and pineapple plantations.
