Varua Te Ora Polynesian Spa is a sanctuary nestled in the embrace of the atoll. The entry is a portal to elevated pathways that wind through tropical undergrowth, diverging here and there like the branches of a tree, and leading to secret abodes for relaxation, meditation, contemplation, and healing.

In this serene retreat, one encounters the essence of mana, the life force revered in Polynesian culture. This connection, once experienced, endures beyond a stay on Tetiaroa, binding one to the elements of nature, the bonds of family, and the deep-rooted traditions of the Polynesian way.

Just up a few steps off the sand, Fare Mana presents itself: a modest structure shrouded from the sun and rain yet inviting the restorative embrace of the surrounding nature and water.

Fare Mana emerges as an altar of serenity, embodying Tetiaroa’s spirit, a sanctuary where souls are purified and the rituals of meditation, yoga, and sound baths are observed, offering a path to inner peace.

Fare Manu, “the bird house”, rises as a lofty sanctuary within the embrace of Varua Te Ora Spa. In the nested seclusion, love birds are beckoned to bond amidst nature’s tapestry, secluded from the world’s gaze.

Here, amidst the rustling fronds and avian calls, time retreats, allowing traditional Polynesian rites to soothe and invigorate. This nest, more than a shelter for therapy, extends an invitation to linger in the shared dreams that only a place such as this can nurture.

This sanctuary is perched where once Tahitian elites gathered for ceremonial rites. Now, clothed in pareu, guests meander elevated paths within the embrace of nature, engaging in therapeutic practices that draw from the well of ancestral knowledge. On Tetiaroa, the essence of massage expands into a holistic voyage, a search for oneness with the environment, the Polynesian way of life, and its people.

The spa’s approach to facial rejuvenation marries the old with the new. The traditional relies on ocean-derived substances and the tactile artistry of massage, following the Polynesian ethos of beauty care.

The modern approach embraces the precision of science, deploying advanced tools and active compounds to sculpt a visage’s future, granting guests the power to select a path that aligns with their personal narrative and aspirations.

Additional services including children’s treatments, manicure, pedicures & beauty treatments are available upon request.
