Want unique? This is the place!

Vanira is a perfect retreat for a rustic getaway - no room service, no hand and foot service. In short- perfect for us! Excellent staff and pristine grounds to enjoy.

We had a magical stay at Vanira Lodge. We loved the jaw-dropping views from out perch. Some members of the family enjoyed the open-air feel of the bungalow more than others, but the pool was amazing and food at the restaurant was delicious.

Great place to stay

A lovely place to stay Rooms are very nice natural design and quite comfortable. Dinner in the restaurant is excellent. The grounds are lovely. We only spent 1 night because of our return flight but would stay longer next time just to enjoy Vanira Lodge. If you are going to stay in Teahupo’o this is where I recommend to stay

Beautiful, unique resort in the jungle

Vanira Lodge was a great choice for our last night in French Polynesia after a great trip. It's about a 1 1/2 hour drive from PPT but well worth it. Great restaurant, amazing views from the hill and a gorgeous jungle setting. Each bungalow is one of a kind. If we came back with kids it would work great.

This place is very unique and cool to stay at. We stayed in a partially open plan unit, slept under mosquito nets, and the shower and kitchen were open to nature. The views were spectacular. the nature units are not for those timid with little creatures. This felt like ultra luxury glamping, loved it!

Don

The grounds are beautiful and the bungalows are a fun experience but….. understand if you stay here, you will be sleeping with bugs and critters, they are open rooms. The screen around the bed helps. Also, there is no air conditioning. If you book this on Expedia, do not expect to be able to change the dates or rooms. It makes you cancel and rebook, and keep in mind, the room you originally booked will not show up. The Kava room was beautiful. The Ofai room not as much.
Beautiful sunsets.
Centipedes, spiders, armies of ants all over our bungalow. We kept all of our luggage closed and off the main tables (ants). A critter also ate through my backpack and a sealed granola package.
Beautiful, but if mobility is an issue, consider the walking, hills and stairs.

This is like a hillside garden paradise overlooking Teahupo’o and surrounding ocean. Staff is as accommodating as one can get. They are marvelous. The chef is a young man that cooks excellent meals. The bungalow was immaculately clean and one also feels living in nature. Like high quality glamping but perhaps better. The shampoo and shower gel is divine (Tiare).
