Sometimes, all you need is space. A stay in a Moorea holiday home gives you luxurious accommodation, lagoon views and a relaxed island base. Catering for up to 12 guests.

Beachfront villas, lagoon-front homes, quiet residential retreats, tropical cottages and larger private villas. Plenty of choices to suit couples, families and groups celebrating any special occasion.

We can genuinely state that Moorea is the dream island stay — scenic, relaxed and easy to reach from Tahiti. It is the perfect place to slow down for longer, especially when the priority is space, beach access, lagoon views or a private villa setting rather than a traditional resort room. Staying in a Moorea holiday home can be especially appealing for families and groups who want shared living space, outdoor areas, their own pool or beach access, and the freedom to explore the island at their own pace.

From intimate one-bedroom homes for two guests to larger villas sleeping up to 12, we can help find the right Moorea holiday home for your travelling party.

How do I get to Moorea from Australia?

Moorea is reached via Tahiti, the main international gateway to French Polynesia. Australian travellers fly into Faa’a International Airport (PPT) near Papeete on Tahiti, then continue to Moorea by local ferry or, less commonly, by domestic air.

From Australia, journey times vary depending on the departure city, airline and connection pattern. As a general guide, travellers can expect approximately 8 to 9 hours from Sydney on the quickest routings, and around 11 to 14 hours from Melbourne or Brisbane, depending on connections. Flight schedules change seasonally, so Island Escapes can advise on the best available route at the time of booking.

Once you arrive in Papeete, the most common way to reach Moorea is by ferry from the port of Papeete to Moorea’s Vaiare ferry terminal. The ferry crossing is short and scenic, usually taking around 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the vessel and service used. Moorea is also served by a small domestic airport, though most holiday home guests travel by ferry because it is practical, frequent, and well-suited to vehicle or private transfer arrangements. General destination information: Moorea is commonly reached from Tahiti by ferry, with travel from Papeete taking about 45 minutes.

After arriving on Moorea, guests continue by road to their holiday home. Transfer time depends on the property’s location. Homes around Teavaro, Temae, Maharepa and the airport side of Moorea are generally closer to the ferry terminal, while homes around Papetoai, Tiahura and the quieter west/north-western side take longer but can offer a more tucked-away island feel.

Island Escapes can arrange the full journey, including international flights, ferry connections, Moorea transfers and holiday home accommodation, so the arrival process feels straightforward from Australia to the front door.
