Motel Nanihi Paradise
The transfer
The airport in Manihi has just been remade (May 2007). It has been extended by several hundred yards following its destruction in 1993, following an attack on a large swell frm the Pacific Ocean. When the aircraft lands at the Manihi airport, the adventure begins. Your luggage recovered, you will be directed to the dock at the marina adjacent to the terminal, where the speed boat is waiting to regain the motu. The transfer, which will take about 30 minutes, depending on the condition will allow you to forget the twenty-first century and enjoy Nanihi Paradise, a new World…
The Motu
The motu covering an area of 1.3 ha is private. It has three farés (bungalows) for you. The motu, and the terrace of your faré are oriented to the west so you can appreciate the cocktail at the sunset. The beach in front of the motu is ideal for snorkeling into turquoise waters shallow. Further, a coral reef with an area of 3.8 hectares is available for snorkelling, fishing and other shellfish and clams.
The bungalows
Each bungalow features two bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom and a terrace. Each room can accommodate two adults (double bed) or three children (1 bunk bed and a single bed). The rooms have two windows for ventilation (1.5 m wide and 1m high), and each bed is equipped with a mosquito net for a comfortable night and a door opening onto the terrace. The terrace is 20m ² and is front of the beach, lagoon and sunset. In the Tuamotu, people live mainly outside, this is why the terrace are so spacious. Between the two rooms, there is a kitchen with a refrigerator, a gas stove, and all the necessary equipment for those who have chosen the option Guest hosts or Motel. At rear house, there is the bathroom. It can be reached by the kitchen or from the garden, which is more handy when we returned from the sea to gain access in the bathroom without going through the Fare.
The grocery
A grocery is available on the motu, even for those who have chosen the option Guest hosts or Motel. You can find non-perishable products, frozen and fresh occasionally. You can also visit the small supermarket in the village according to your wishes.
Drinks
Water is the most important element in the Tuamotu. Rainwater is collected on the roofs of Fares, and kept in tanks. This water must be saved in the showers, toilet or kitchen. It is drunk by residents but can be difficult to digest for visitors not used to it. A parallel circuit supplies the toilet and the sink for washing with water from a well drilling non-potable but perfectly suited to dishes, laundry or flush. The motel has a little stock and can give you at any time a bottled mineral water. In addition to soft drinks, beer, wine, snacks, digestive and cocktails will be served.
