The only overwater on Rangiroa

Hotel Kia Ora Resort & Spa is the only overwater accommodation on Rangiroa — one of the world's largest atolls and French Polynesia's premier diving destination. The overwater bungalows sit above a lagoon so vast it could contain the entire island of Tahiti. Rangiroa's Tiputa Pass is famous for dolphin pods, hammerhead sharks, and some of the best drift diving on Earth. The Blue Lagoon — a lagoon within the lagoon — is one of the most photographed spots in the Pacific.
