The three-pearl Opoa Beach Hotel is an oceanfront property with nine rustic-chic bungalows, run by a French couple. Its location on the southeastern end of Raiatea lends seclusion and a quiet atmosphere, but there's nothing within walking distance and the airport is a 45-minute drive away. The sandy stretch on-site isn't a real beach, but guests can head to a private island a 10-minute boat ride away. Split between the garden and beach, bungalows have stunning, airy decor, couches, minibars, kettles, and showers, but no air-conditioning or tubs. Each unit has a spacious patio with a hammock and loungers. Delicious cuisine is served at the all-day restaurant, and meal plans are available. A garden-set pool, free-to-use snorkeling equipment and kayaks, and free Wi-Fi round out amenities. This is a beautiful, romantic pick, but the Raiatea Lodge Hotel is closer to the airport.
