This strikingly contemporary InterContinental in the French Polynesia consists of 80 identical over water villas, which extend in to the warm lagoon like two claws, with the only differences being the views–of the lagoon, the beach, or Mount Otemanu. Floor-to-ceiling windows, Lucite ceiling fans, bug tubs overlooking the water, and bathrooms with black slate floors relect the clean modern aesthetic throughout.
The atmosphere is more South Beach than South Pacific, down to the stylish clad reception staff and shirtless cabana boys by the infinity-edge pool. In a savvy environmental move, the sort pimps in cold seawater to feed the air-conditioning system and for use at the spa.
A stay here might run you run you $1500/night with a minimum four-night stay, but you’ll be hard pressed to find a more exclusive and exotic retreat.

Water villas are always beautiful, it secludes you from where ever else you want to be by the white sand and the turquoise colour water. The positioning of the villas makes it great for privacy and nice enough to make conversation with surrounding neighbours. The view is fantastic to see the mountain side, reminds me of Cast Away.

The birds eye view of the Resort is beautiful, its very, geometric too. The scenery/environments are so beautiful, I’d certainly LOVEEE to live in the Resort, but the pricing is a bit high for my blood. The rooms seem very open, and comfortable, if I had Oprah’s salary, this would be a common stay for me!
