The largest island in the Marquesas is known for towering spire-like peaks; secluded, lush valleys; ancient religious sites; fjord-like bays; and waterfalls so high that most of the falling water evaporates as it descends.



Built on a hillside, with stunning panoramic views on the bay and the village of Taioha’e, Le Nuku Hiva, the only hotel of the island, is nestled among a lush tropical garden. Its 20 bungalows blend perfectly into the natural surrounding. Local craftsmen’s art work (wood carving, tapa cloth…) displayed within the property, gives to the overall a distinctive Marquesan atmosphere, reminding where you are.
