A little history
In Polynesian culture, Teanaiva is a star. Star gazing enabled Polynesian navigators to chart sea routes throughout the Polynesian triangle. Among all the constellations, ten particularly sparkling stars were the pillars of these interstellar navigations. They appear in turn in the sky to indicate the route to follow. Teanaiva is the ninth star in this group.
Like Teanaiva, who guided the Polynesian navigators, we can guide and advise you during your stay. Villa Teanaiva will be the best starting point for your escapades on the island of Tahiti or your trips to the other islands of Polynesia. We look forward to welcoming you in the tradition of Polynesian hospitality. Haere mai!

The famous white-sand beach of Vaiava is less than 15 minutes away by car. The airport is a 10-minute drive away and Papeete, the capital, is a 15-minute drive away (outside rush hour).

Magic views and great location, not too far out however gains an expectational view of the ocean and reef. Spacious and well looked after through out the stay.
Villa Teanaiva was wonderful. We were greeted with flower lei by our hostess Maire and her daughter-in-law. The entire house was clean and spotless. All the furniture and beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed. She even made us some homemade chocolate chip cookies and banana bread. Every detail was exquisite, right down to the extra large, fluffy towels. Highly recommend this place for larger families or a bigger group.

The hostess Maire was wonderful. She made cookies and baked banana bread during our stay. The villa was filled with fresh flowers and fresh fruit upon our arrival. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Maire!!
This is an amazing place and the owner and her family were just as amazing. We came in late and they were there to greet us and make us feel at home. The house is modern, clean, well supplied and well built. We highly recommend this rental.

We were very happy to welcome Alan and his wife. They are pleasant people with whom we communicated well. When they left, they left us the accommodation clean and tidy. We highly recommand Alan and his friendly family
Very nice home with an even nicer hostess unfortunately Airbnb last minute it canceled our reservation so we had to find the last minute lodging. We were lucky to find this place. The pool was nice. They saw their hot water didn’t work the whole time, so they had to turn on the electric water heater and then the water was nice and hot.
Beautiful home and pool with view.
Outstanding owner support and meticulously groomed property.
Five Star review well deserved for our 3 day visite. Kent

Our group was composed of three couples. This was a fantastic property, with great owners living just below the rental. We enjoyed beautiful views, terrific outdoor lounging and dining area, as well as a swimming pool. We stayed on property for three nights, but everyone agreed we should have booked an additional night to enjoy the property further. We found the owners to be extremely friendly and helpful. We look forward to enjoying this property again when we return to Tahiti in the future.
A beautiful home, outfitted with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The hosts made the stay comfortable and welcoming. There are maps, local guides and list of resources that will help you make the most of your stay. On the down side, it is not easy to find, but the hosts are accessible and helpful if you need assistance. I would also recommend that you have a car if you want to use the home as a base for tourist activities. It is a long walk up/down a steep hill to get to public transportation.
We stayed for a week in Tahiti at Teanaiva, which was well appointed and a wonderful property. Maire and Tekura went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. The stay was a highlight of our vacation. On arrival at 6am we found out that they had been checking flights for arrival times since the previous day, they welcomed us at the gate, had homemade foods for us, and were always available for any questions and requests. Maire brought games for our children, made banana bread, bought chocolates for the kids, etc, etc. we hope to return their warm hospitality one day!
This is truly one of the best places my family and I have ever stayed.
We had the pleasure of spending a week at Marie’s accommodation, and it was an absolute delight.
The newly renovated property is stunning, and the hospitality rivals that of a five-star hotel.
With tasteful decor, comfortable beds, and an abundance of treats like fresh yogurt and fruit from the hosts’ garden, it was an exceptional experience.
I cannot recommend this property highly enough and would definitely book again on a future visit to Tahiti.
Thank you, Marie and family, for a wonderful stay!
Our experience at Villa Teanaiva was outstanding. The Villa is in a beautiful location overlooking the sea and the island of Morrea.Everything was vey clean and in excellent condition. We felt like we were staying at a resort. We arrived in the evening and the host greeted us with her family. They were so gracious and kind. They had made delicious yogurt for us to have and provided coffee for our first morning . They had also made chocolate chip cookies. Throughout our stay, they were available to help with anything we needed . We can’t say enough great things about both the host and beautiful home and location. We will definitely book there again when we return to Papeete and will highly recommend it to our friends.
