Raimiti, a small piece of Paradise, right under the “Southern Cross”. For years I heard about this place, a place lost somewhere in the South Pacific, a place maybe Jack London would write about, or Melville stopped by on his way to Tahiti after he jumped ship in the Marquesas. Surely Paul Theroux would have stopped by on his “Falt... More

We have been visiting Raimiti two years before and liked the place and the way the pension was managed very much. The food was excellent, the place nicely kept, everybody was very friendly and helpful. So we decided to come back. Seeing the place now, only two years later, was a real disappointment. The place looked neglected and run down.... More

The trip from Fakarava north to Raimiti, which is close to the south pass, is one of the highlights. 1h15m on a fast boat bordering fantastic and post card perfect beaches. I couldn't stop taking photos it was simply amazing. After 1h and 15min give or take you arrive at Raimiti. I was expecting a beach maybe similar to the... More

raimiti was the best experience we had during our stay in french polynesia. the magic of this place is that you will feel like being at the end of the world and yet be pampered by the caring hands of a lovely crew. radical chic with a great taste.

My financé and I spent 6 nights at Raimiti this November (unfortunately we could not reach Fakarava before as planned to spend 8 nights) . This was one of the best vacation ever for the possibility to stay so close to nature and appreciate the 'small little things' which we are loosing of sight in our (typical) European stressful lifestyle..but...

If you are looking for a high end hotel with all amenities and services this is NOT the place for you. However, if you are looking for experiencing the genuine Tahitian and above all Fakaravan life and a Nature that is beyond the extraordinary, then this is the place for you. If anywhere in the world it can be said... More

I’m embarrassed that it’s taken me over 2 years to write this review. My husband and I spent our honeymoon at Raimiti and I wouldn’t have chosen anywhere else in the world to be. It was magical. One of those places that it’s hard to believe exists – it’s surreal. Beautiful thatched roofed huts, deserted beaches, the best snorkeling in... More

In June 2011 I visited with my girlfriend on the islands of French Polynesia (Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora and Fakarava). The greatest pleasure we get from staying in the pension Raimiti in Fakarava. Maybe we are too tired from the big cities, perhaps because we really wanted to be on the edge of the world among unspoilt nature, but we... More

Escaping from all the benefits a modern western environment provides was a test for a scuba diving workoholic. It's a 1.5 hours boat transfer from the airport to Raimiti (if the weather is good) and that's all it takes to chill out. The warm welcome upon arrival and the living in beautiful bungalows without electricity and internet helps to ground... More

I've seen some of the mixed reviews Raimiti has gotten, and they make me sad, because they might turn people off. If you know what you are signing up for, it's heaven. It's a quirky, small property that really emphasizes going with the rhythm of the island -- they have created something truly charming in spite of the difficulties posed... More
