## Our read

The resort is the motu. Breakfast by canoe, overwater yoga, and the Taurumi ritual are how you use an islet that faces Otemanu, rather than a hotel that happens to be in French Polynesia.

## Come here for

- A bungalow on Motu Tehotu, with Otemanu across the water
- Breakfast brought by canoe
- The Taurumi ritual in a spa with a 22 metre ceiling

## Skip it if

- You want to walk into a town for dinner
- A boat from the airport feels like a hurdle rather than the arrival
