This very exclusive Villa overlooking the crystal blue waters of the lagoon offers incredible romantic sunsets as well as a lot of privacy making it the perfect spot for both honeymooners and families.

This unique, recently built, 1200 square-foot (110 m2) home is part of a famous luxury complex started by Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson. The villa accomodation includes 2 bedrooms with air conditioning, 1 bathroom, a modern full kitchen fit for a chef, a living room and a large covered terrace-lanai overlooking the lagoon.

The interior of this luxury wooden built house is particularly roomy thanks to a cathedral ceiling with a spacious living room and one of the bedrooms opened into it allowing exclusive views right from your king sized bed. The house has been completely redesigned and remodelled in 2020 with maximum comfort and relaxation in mind.

This piece of paradise is very much in demand. So book early in advance your South Pacific vacation and contact us today : with the pleasure of having you as our guests at VILLA VAHIMANUI!

Tahiti, the port of entry of French Polynesia is linked by non stop scheduled flights to Los Angeles, NZ, Japan, Hawaii, Australia and with one stop to Paris and most European cities. From Tahiti, a 45-minute-flight takes you to Bora Bora.
The internal airline company in French Polynesia is AIR TAHITI. There are 9 flight connections per day between Tahiti and Bora Bora. You can directly book your flights on the website of Air Tahiti.

The plane from Tahiti lands in Bora Bora on Motu Mute, an offshore islet.Then a free shuttle brings you across the lagoon to VAITAPE, Bora Bora's main village. On the wharf in Vaitape, you will pick up your rental car and drive in 15 minutes to our house.

CAR RENTAL
Because there is no public transport service on Bora Bora, you need to rent a car to be independant on the island during your stay . It is essential to go shopping, to go to the restaurant or to visit Bora Bora. You can directly book your rental car online on AVIS or EUROPCAR car rental website.

Honest review
Myself and 3 other adults have just returned from our stay in this villa. This is our honest review: Villa Pros: Home from home with the most amazing view of the lagoon. Spacious living area with tv and collection of DVDs. Well equipped kitchen, cooker, brand new fridge, microwave Air conditioned bedrooms Clean bathroom Lovely deck area Beautiful landscaped gardens surrounding the villa Brand new washer and dryer. Cons: Reason for giving this villa a 3 star rating are: Villa is located on a very steep hill with lots of stone stairs to navigate to get the villa. No air conditioning in living area (it was very humid). Lots of mosquitos (due to tropical climate). We used a range of sprays and repellants but still got lots of bites. We followed the owners instructions, keeping doors closed and insect screens across all windows including the french doors leading to the decked area. Which we hardly used due to mosquitos. The kitchen was over run with ants (due to tropical climate). We were meticulous about clearing away after ourselves and not leaving rubbish, but the ants were everywhere including inside the kitchen cupboards (which we cleaned out daily). The inside of the villa could do with a freshen up (paintwork) and possibly new windows/doors. It's a beautiful villa, in a beautiful setting, but it is now in need of a little TLC. There was a villa on-site that was being upgraded whilst we were there and it looked amazing. If this villa was upgraded we would consider renting again, but in its present state we wouldn't.

5 Stars!
My husband and I stayed at Villa Vahimanui for a week at the end of August 2018. Communication from the owner was fantastic, he answered all the questions and even gave some recommendations of places to eat etc. We took advantage of the car hire service Pierre offers and had a little Hyundai to zip around the island. He organises the initial taxi to the Villa and back to the wharf when you leave and the hosts were there to meet us, help with the luggage and show us around. They were absolutely lovely! The house itself was beautifully clean and exactly like the pictures. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking your meals and the appliances were very new including an induction cook top and a dishwasher! The main lounge looks out over the lagoon and the deck is off to the side. The bed was comfy for us (it is a firm bed) and we didn't overheat due to the air conditioning in the bedrooms. We even had our own laundry to do a mid-holiday clothes wash. A few things that may affect some people (didn't worry us hence the 5 stars but to consider) - you do have to go up 4 sets of stairs to this villa. The location was sheltered from the trade winds but you are on the opposite side to Matira Beach which is the main public beach in Bora. There are no restaurants near here, the closest is in town so you do need a car to get around. There are geckos that eat the bugs and make their cheeky noises as well as roosters which is typical for tropical islands. If you're a light sleeper you may need ear plugs. All in all it was a fantastic stay for us and we loved relaxing on the deck with the perfect views. Magic spot, great house and lovely owner and hosts. Highly recommend!

Second Stay in this villa
This was our second stay at this house. It has a wonderful view from inside the house and also on the patio. It also has a sunset view. It is well-equipped and has beach towels. There is a washer and dryer. The bedrooms have a/c which is needed, as the house can get very hot during the day. This time none of the tour operators would pick us up from the pier so we had to drive to town to get picked up.

Paradise - exceeded our wildest expectations!
We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay at Villa Vahimanui and definitely hope to return! The views were so beautiful that it took our breath away …and the villa itself was a very clean, comfortable, well equipped, and relaxing place to stay! Pierre was extremely conscientious and organized in regard to communication…and provided us with very comprehensive information in advance …which helped us prepare for, and enjoy our stay. Pierre was also quick to provide answers to any of our questions! This was our first trip to French Polynesia and Bora Bora. My husband & I stayed at the villa with my parents (in their 70’s/early 80’s … and in good shape ). We had no problem managing the stairs, although, as others have mentioned, it’s a bit of a workout to bring your luggage up in the hot sun …lol…but believe me - it’s totally worth it! We spent our days exploring the island in our rental car, and enjoyed trips to Matira Beach, and snorkeling! We were happy to return back to the villa in the late afternoon to cook meals and enjoy the view from the deck. We had a fabulous time at Pierre’s Villa and are very grateful to have had the opportunity to stay! Thank you ❤️

The property and the view was very nice.
The property and the view were very nice. We staid 5 nights. The only problem it is on the other side of the Island and if you want to eat or do any grocery shopping or go to the beach you have to drive around 20 - 25 minutes each way. So must be organized. Again, nothing wrong with the place, just be sure you have a car.

Tolle Villa mit fantastischem Ausblick.
Die Villa ist groß und wunderschön. Es ist alles vorhanden was man benötigt und alles ist in einem guten Zustand. Wir haben jeden Tag die Aussicht vom Balkon und aus dem Wohnzimmer genossen. Für die Aussicht lohnt sich jede einzelne Stufe die man für den Aufstieg zur Villa überwinden muss. Leider sind die Fliegenschutzgitter bei der Villa nicht mehr ganz dicht. Wir hatten jeden Tag 2-3 Hornissen in der Villa, trotz geschlossener Fenster und Türen. Auch hat ein Hahn, der auf dem Gelände lebt jeden Morgen ab 05:00 am dafür gesorgt, dass wir auf keinen Fall den wunderschönen Sonnenaufgang verpassen. Es wäre auch schön gewesen, wenn 2 Kajaks zur Verfügung stünden damit man die wunderschöne Lagune auf dem Wasser erkunden könnte. Alles in allem hatten wir eine sehr schöne Zeit in der Villa und können die Villa auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.

A dream in Bora Bora
The house is part of a complex on a small hill. The only negative point (if i can find one) is that there is no sign indicating the complex. Anyway, the house is fabulous: a great view with a very nice terrace, very nice forniture and high attention to details. The owner (Pierre) is extremely detailed and he gave us any possible information we could need. It was an excellent choice for staying in Bora Bora and i would highly recommend it.

He has great recommendations on places to go and visit that made our trip even that more memorable. Our only regret is we didn’t stay longer:)

Struggling to leave this place :)
We have just arrived home after two weeks in French Polynesia where my husband and I stayed the last four nights at this beautiful house. The owner represents the house beautifully and it is super clean with great views. He is very particular about keeping the place clean which helps you to keep it bug-free. The air conditioning worked great for sleeping at night (if needed), as there is a constant breeze which is especially lovely in the evenings. He had a great set-up for laundry if needed. Previous reviews balked at the steps. My husband and I are in our early 60s and in good health but a bit chinky and found the steps to be no problem at all. We didn't do any cooking as we preferred to grab a coffee and croissants from the Ptisseried at St. James as we had early starts with Eleuthera Diving. Really world-class dinners at Villa Mahani and St. James. Thank you, Pierre. We'll be back and want to stay much longer. We loved not being in a place full of other tourists and being in your home allowed us such peacefulness. PS: I gave the location 4 stars only because it is a bit pf a drive into town - nothing more than just letting people know.

Hillside view over the lagoon
Let me say this first: If you don't mind daily steep walk and 80+ steps towards the villa, you will love it! It is everything your eyes deserve - incredible view and relaxing shades of blue. And just wait for the sunsets :). The villa is maintained and designed very well. The deck is spacious and you will enjoy it. The living room is naturally ventilated and there is no need for AC (in July). Pierre is great host and helpful with tips and recommendations. Needless to say we had one of the best vacations ever. Merci Pierre! P.S. Don't be afraid of the geckos - they are awesome creatures!

Bora bora bungalow
The bungalow itself was quite well furnished nd clean. My only complaint was the number of steps we had to climb every day to go anyplace. The views from the deck were outstanding, the evenings were lovely with gentle winds and not much noise. The unit did not have my washcloths and only two bath towels which we had to wash frequently. The beach towels were nice for our trips to Matira beach. Pierre was very responsive to our questions.

Unbelievable View!
This property sits up on the mountainside. Once up there, the view of the lagoon, barrier reef, and ocean is unbelievably gorgeous. The deck is large and is the perfect place to enjoy meals and cold drinks. The villa is well appointed and we had everything we needed. To enter, you must climb many steps so be aware of that. We thought the climb was rewarded with the magnificent view. Excellent property!

Stay in Bora Bora
We enjoyed our stay at this property. View was beautiful, location was very nice (out of main tourist area which was what we wanted) and hosts were excellent. Our only issue with this property was the heat. The bedrooms were air conditioned so sleeping was comfortable but the living room and kitchen were not air conditioned, and the heat during the day was so intense that we could not stay in the condo during the mid to late portions of the day. We booked during the hottest month for Bora Bora (March) so maybe this would not be such an issue during another time period. Other than this issue we loved the place.

Pleasant stay in Bora Bora
The property was clean and spacious with tremendous views as advertised. The kitchen was well appointed, with sufficient pots and pans to prepare and serve a meal. The bedrooms were both air conditioned as advertised but the rest of the house was not. Mosquitoes were not a problem during the first week of February when we stayed. The property was a little difficult to locate, but Natalie the property manager was there and came out to greet me.
