Summary
There’s getting away from it all, and then there’s taking a vacation to Nukutepipi.
Introduction to Nukutepipi
Located some 6,000 kilometers from the closest continent, in the very middle of the Pacific Ocean, sits one of French Polynesia’s smallest atolls, the Tuamotu archipelago. Within this stunning archipelago, measuring approximately 5.6 kilometers and designed by the co-founder of Cirque du Soleil, is the private island paradise of Nukutepipi.
Accommodations and Amenities
The ultra-luxury property offers accommodations for up to 52 guests, spread across its master villa, which includes a two-bedroom home and two separate one-bedroom bungalows. In addition, there are two junior villas with their own plunge pools and 13 bungalows perched on the island’s pristine sugar-sand beach.
While the villas are undoubtedly beautiful, the island’s natural allure is the true highlight. Nukutepipi boasts a unique collection of rare, tropical flora and fauna, alongside unspoiled beaches that seamlessly flow into crystalline waters. Moreover, these exceptionally clear waters feature a protected lagoon and vibrant natural coral reefs.
Island Activities
Despite its size, the island offers a wealth of activities. Guests can indulge in therapeutic Tahitian oil massages, take part in outdoor lunches on Motu picnics, enjoy coral garden tours, go deep-sea fishing, or even partake in whale watching when the season is right. Furthermore, guests can explore the scenic beauty of the island by foot, bike, or even golf cart.
For those interested in more experiences, late-night stargazing programs allow guests to explore the night sky, while daytime telescope use offers a glimpse of native birds. The island also provides rich cultural immersion programs where guests can learn about local traditions, including making pareos and discovering the island’s pearls.
Getting to Nukutepipi
Travelers wishing to visit can easily access the island via year-round direct flights to Tahiti from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Honolulu, Paris, Tokyo, and Auckland, with airlines such as Qantas, Air Tahiti Nui, and American Airlines. Transfers to and from Tahiti (via Papeete domestic airport) to Nukutepipi are accomplished through private chartered flights.
