Surrounded by a tropical garden and elegant bamboo trees, relax and enjoy full sunset views over Bora Bora during your massage. Signature rituals and treatments at Le Spa by Taha’a include Balneotherapy, Le Taha’a Royal (which begins with a warm coconut whirlpool bath), and Vanilla Dream, with healing tamanu oil. Couples can also take or renew wedding vows with a traditional Polynesian ceremony and dance.

5. Fare Spa at Vahine Private Island

Secluded and tranquil, this exclusive one-room spa offers couples a true escape in paradise.

It’s just you, the spa, and your native Tahitian practitioner. No sound machine necessary—just relax to the natural sounds of the lagoon. Fare Spa offers a full menu for the face and body using homemade coconut massage oil mixtures. After a treatment, couples can unwind in the Jacuzzi or go for a swim in the private lagoon.

Perched upon a hilltop, Hina Spa has 360-degree views of lush landscapes, dramatic volcanic black rock, and crystal-clear turquoise lagoon views. Indulge in al fresco Polynesian treatments, body scrubs, wraps, and, of course, the Ta’u couples massage. You’ll be immersed in the tropical scents of Tahitian grapefruit, the tiare flower, and vanilla. Open-air treatment bungalows feature private Jacuzzis that are perfect for couples.
