Located in Papeete, Tahiti’s capital, the InterContinental Tahiti Resort frames views of rugged Moorea
across the cobalt-blue lagoon. Thirty-two of the
property’s 258 rooms are overwater “fares,” Polynesian thatch-roofed bungalows. These stilt-supported
cottages feature off-the-deck access to snorkeling
among tropical fish and vibrant corals.
The entire 30-acre resort celebrates the outdoors,
from the beachfront and overwater restaurants to
the swim-up pool bar and waterfront Tiki Bar. For
those not content to laze away the days under a
palm tree, the resort offers a checklist of watersports. Scuba diving and snorkeling, kayaking,
deep-sea fishing and water-skiing keep you busy
outdoors. And activities like pareu (sarong) dyeing,
basket-weaving and visits to the “lagoonarium,” a
natural aquarium containing 200 species of fish and
stingrays, will attract those who prefer lower-key
pursuits. The seaside spa offers the quickest means
to acclimate to island time, with jet-lag massages,
ocean-inspired scrubs and seaweed wraps to help
you sink into rapturous bliss.

At the all-inclusive boutique Koro Sun Resort
& Rainforest Spa on Vanua Levu in Fiji, staffers
greet guests with a heartfelt song of welcome and an
invitation to consider the 160-acre former coconut
plantation their island home. The accommodations—29 “bures” or traditional homes, and
villas—are outfitted with canopy beds, palm wood
furnishings, outdoor showers and, in waterfront
villas, swimming pools and roof decks.
The lush property’s garden supplies much of the
produce served in its two restaurants. Between
meals, guests are encouraged to snorkel, kayak to
Bat Island to poke into caves, hike the rainforest
seeking glimpses of colorful birds and learn to fish
with a handline.
Natural bird calls and rushing streams are the
soundtrack at the spa, which uses indigenous
ingredients such as papaya and banana leaves to
therapeutic ends. Off the premises, guides lead
the way to a local school or a Sunday church
service so that visitors can hear the melodic songs
Fijians are famous for.
