Moorea Golf ResortExperience the difference

The islandJust 17 kilometers off the coast of Tahiti lies an island where the finest property development in the history of French Polynesia is being brought to life. The island is Moorea, one of the most treasured of all the islands in the -world-so colorful, so pure and so idyllic that it can only be described as Paradise. Linked to the mainland via a short air or ferry trip, Temae fits in perfectly with the government’s desire to develop yet preserve the special Polynesian way of life.

Crystal-clear water, flourishing green forests, pearl-white beaches and a dominant volcanic peak, Moorea is postcard perfect year round. An average temperature of 27°C with very little fluctuation ensures mild tropical conditions. Mirror-flat oceans and a laid-back island attitude slow time to a pace befitting a well-deserved holiday.

It is a destination few have the chance to enjoy, and a journey of discovery that will surprise even the most seasoned traveler.

The projectMoorea Golf Resort is a very exciting project and a unique opportunity for Polynesia to become a major player in the high-end tourism market not only for its golf course but also for its other leisure activities such as diving, submarine photo safari, big game fishing, sea sight-seeing tours, and many other water sports.

Fittings, facilities, an exceptional geographical location and a 5 star operator, will make Moorea Golf Resort the first luxury resort in Polynesia.

In addition to the 18-hole Nicklaus Design championship golf course, which should open in the first part of 2007, the resort will include :

- A spa and fitness centre to provide full sophisticated care and massage services

- A 154-room hotel in the pure Polynesian style managed by a 5 star hotel company, giving a wide and complete range of high-end catering and leisure services.

- Plots for 115 unique and residential units located on the hills of the northern coast of Moorea, or directly in the golf course giving stunning views of the resort, the golf course and the Southern Pacific.

Situated on nearly 165 hectares of virgin land with 650 linear metres of white sand beach , the resort is only a few minutes away from the Moorea airport. Clients will be able to get to it by means of taxi-boats commuting with the airport

The Golf courseNicklaus Design, recognized as the world leader in golf course design, is the privately owned company founded by golf legend Jack Nicklaus. Nicklaus Design represents a team of the world’s most accomplished golf course design associates, industry consultants, and experts in golf course development and marketing. Just as its founder once raised golf to a higher level, Nicklaus Design has elevated the standards of golf course design. The firm has been involved with close to 300 courses open for play in 28 countries and 37 states. At least 47 Nicklaus Design courses have been ranked in various national or international Top-100 lists, and by the end of 2006, at least 79 Nicklaus Design courses will have hosted a combined total of over 500 professional tournaments worldwide or significant USGA national championships.

As unique as each design is, they all share the Nicklaus Design philosophy of working closely with clients, enhancing the natural environment and creating courses that are both challenging and enjoyable for players of all levels. With the name Nicklaus Design behind a golf course, its value is enhanced tremendously. And that value will only grow with time.

These are just a few of the reasons why Nicklaus Design was the first choice for the Moorea Golf Course :

Nicklaus Design’s first venture in the South Pacific French Polynesian Islands is an 18-hole championship course at Moorea that has been created to preserve the unspoilt natural heritage of one of the most beautiful coastlines in all the world, while providing a challenge for the professional and inspiration to the amateur.

Nicklaus Design has taken full advantage of this spectacular site. The splendid tapestry on which Moorea Golf Course has been created includes lush grassed islands, carefully crafted water features, magnificent mountain views, and a stunning contrast of the azure ocean water with glistening white sand beaches.

Hôtel & SpaMoorea will be French Polynesia’s most exclusive hideaway, set within the serene confines of a coastal forest reserve on the South Pacific Coast-a natural sub-tropical paradise and home to myriad of sea and bird life.

The hotel, overlooking 650 metres of the incredible Pacific Ocean’s beach, is surrounded by lush vegetation, beautiful indigenous gardens, a championship 18-hole Nicklaus Design golf course and naturally occurring lakes and wetlands. Whether inside at the bar, relaxing at the poolside or beach, or being pampered at the spa, this is the place to watch magical South Pacific sunsets year long.

The 5-Star, ultra-luxury hotel and all the guest rooms will offer unrivaled levels of service and accommodation. Designed to complement the natural surroundings and to reinforce the charm of Polynesian Classical architecture, the hotel will consist of a total of 154 rooms, situated in individual villas, located away from the main hotel facility and set in magnificent subtropical gardens.

We aim to deliver beyond our guest’s expectations-striving to make a significant difference with a strong emphasis on personalized service, grace, attitude and care. Apart from providing luxurious accommodation and culinary delights prepared by world-renowned chefs, we believe that guests should be able to choose how they spend their leisure time.

All rooms are equipped with the latest technologies and have permanent Internet access.A Room Service is available 24/24H.
