Hotels near Rangiroa Airport (RGI), Avatoru

The hosts were fantastic. Very welcoming and inviting. I arrived around midnight, I did not want to wake the hosts so I decided to walk over 3 miles to get from the docks to the hostel. Being such a small island, someone contacted the hosts (unbeknownst to me) and let them know I was walking… They picked me up around one in the morning and saved me about 2 miles of walking. Super friendly. A decent place to snorkel (relatively speaking based on my Snorkeling experience on this Motu) is right across from the hostel. BTW, the best place IMO (on this Motu) is “the aquarium “ … you’ll need to hire a small boat to get you there though. Super clear and tons of fish.

It was great having free bicycles at our disposal with safety vest and lights. The private beach was a big plus too. And the laundry machine.

We loved our stay here! We found everything clean and organized. There was a bottle of Tahitian wine, 2 typical necklaces and very charming towels arrangement upon arrival! So lovely touches! We had almost all we needed to cook some meals and breakfast! It was a dream to have our meals on the porch table with the lagoon view! Everything worked properly. The house was silent and we slept very well! Cintia was always easy to contact and ready to help in any matter. Having bikes is huge bonus. We went everywhere in Avatoru with them. To reach the water from the house you have to walk over some rocks and reefs, so don’t forget your water shoes. Once in the water, you can have nice snorkeling experience! Also we literally walked from the airport to the house. It was very easy!

Perfect little private oasis. There’s a separate small building for the bedroom with air conditioning. The private bathroom and kitchen are in their own building with no air conditioning (we moved a floor fan from the bedroom to the kitchen). There is a picnic table under a thatched roof and a hammock, and an outdoor shower and clothesline. Laundry machines and pedal bikes were a great perk. We biked all over the island. If you’re a scuba diver, 6 Passengers dive shop is nearby (and they have a shuttle). We were able to wash and dry our gear fully before heading home thanks to the amenities at the tiny house. Hosts were responsive and helpful.

The food was excellent and the staff was wonderful.

loved everything about this lodge… Everything from the dinner, the View, and especially the wonderful staff.

Blue Lagoon Villa exceeded every expectation we had for our stay in Rangiroa. Jonathan and Kateryna don't simply provide a beautiful place to stay—they genuinely care about helping you experience the very best of the island. Before we even arrived, Jonathan took the time to recommend activities that completely changed our trip. Because of his advice, we booked Rangiroa Jet Ski Tours with Tapu instead of one of the typical boat excursions. It became one of the highlights of our entire French Polynesia adventure. This wasn't a "ride around the resort" experience. We explored places many visitors never see, including Bird Island, the Green Lagoon, Blue Lagoon, drift snorkeling at Avatoru Pass, and even swimming with large sleeper sharks. It was an unforgettable adventure that our daughter and I will remember for the rest of our lives. Jonathan also recommended Leon's Reef Tour, another outstanding experience. Seeing dolphins both on the way out and on the return made it one of Rosa's favorite days of the entire trip. The villa itself is exceptional. Everything is modern, thoughtfully designed, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. The welcome amenities were appreciated, especially the little essentials we didn't even realize we'd need. We also loved learning that the property is powered by solar energy and batteries and that Jonathan is actively involved in coral restoration projects. It's wonderful to stay somewhere that genuinely cares about protecting the environment that makes Rangiroa so special. The location is ideal, placing you almost perfectly in the middle of the atoll, making it equally convenient to explore either direction. Then there's Kateryna's cooking. Do yourself a favor and book at least one dinner at the villa. Better yet, book several. The fresh fish—caught that very morning—was among the best we've ever eaten anywhere in the world.

Very peaceful and quiet. Great location. The host and their family were very friendly, helpful and thoughtful people. We would definitely recommend staying there. They also offer excursions. Thank you so much Hanna for all your help during our stay and your dad was a huge help with us not knowing any French. He is a very caring person. We appreciate you. Thank you both!

Beautiful, quiet spot not far from Avatoru village. Easy bike ride (provided by host) to good restaurants - Chez Rua, Antoinette and a pizza wagon. Super lovable dog and cat, Kahlua and Meme (see pics) on property. Tauhere has done an amazing job on the space and the grounds.
