MANIHI...PEARL RESORT

The tuamotu of Manihi is home to this stunning property. There are 22 beach bungalows on a white sand beach and 19 overwater bungalows. All have a verandah and the overwater bungalows have glass coffee tables for underwater fish viewing. There is a bar next to the horizon pool and a lovely restaurant that is small and intimate. The food at this restaurant was wonderful! Loved the vanilla fish here! A quiet resort for snorkelers or those just wishing to get away from it all. A PADI dive center is onsite and massage is available.
