Raimiti

If you are considering visiting this beautiful part of the world just do it!! You need to be ok with leaving a few creature comforts behind and have a sense of adventure but you won’t regret it! We had a large bungalow on the ocean side with the sound of surf crashing on the reef to lull you to sleep at night. The view from our deck was never ending looking out at the blue blue pacific ocean. We sat on the deck and watched the hermit crabs going about their very busy lives, the sea birds and atoll doves flying by, the incredible coconut crab eating urchins and other delights of the sea in the shrubs out front. At night the carpet of stars overhead was incredible. The staff here were warm and helpful, the food coming out of the kitchen for lunch and dinner was surprisingly great (surprising because of how far away from everything we were), the daily excursions were simple, well organized and fun. Our snorkel through the South Pass will never be forgotten because of the abundance of sea life and crystal clear water. We were here 4 nights and wished we could have stayed longer. With each day the stress of daily life began to melt away a little more. I hope to be able to come back here again some day and stay longer. Thank you Raimiti for sharing your paradise 💙💙💙

Our stay in Raimiti was an incredible experience. This remote location on Fakarava is a true paradise. The staff is amazing. The service, food and all the staff are top notch. I highly recommend visiting it. For us, Fakarava's stay would not be the same without Raimitti. Here you really feel like in Paradise at the end of the world.

Just wanted give a huge shoutout to the team at Raimiti. While there were fully booked and couldn't accommodate us, they continued to respond to our emails, providing alternate suggestions and even helping us with excursions. Customer service world class! Next time we will book way in advance and actually stay here!

This was so amazing and refreshing. Mahlua has created an off the beaten path paradise. Everything is so charming and you really feel welcomed. There’s a dog welcoming crew and you eat fresh fish daily. The open air bungalows with the white noise of the ocean are exactly what was needed.||A few tips: bring a refillable water bottle, bring ear plugs to sleep if the ocean waves are too much for you, bring bug spray. Book in advance especially if you plan to partake in their amazing diving !||This is the perfect setting to unwind and unplug. I highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

I had such an amazing time at Raimiti:)||*location is very remote and beautiful. saw a lot of sharks and other fish swimming just in front of the pension:) The water looked so clear there that you would not need to snorkel since you can just see through them over the water:)||* a diving store is located in the raimiti guest house. I took a 30 min diving tour for beginners. I had no idea such a beautiful world existed underwater. Corals there are huge/tall and soooo beautiful. I also saw a lot of sharks swimming there (south pass area). The beauty I saw there will stay in my head forever:)||*the food there was very good. I loved everything they made especially fish salad:) all guests ate at the same place. It was so good to get to know other guests as we dined:)||*Mahlua (the owner) and all staff there were very kind. All excursion trips (diving, pink sand beach) and check-in/out were very well coordinated with the timing of dinner/lunch.||*I stayed both in south fakarava ( where raimiti is) and north fakarava. I think the beauty is in south!! Next time I’ll just stay in south:)||Maururu

What a wonderfully wild and isolated escape , with no WIFI , no windows , no aircon. Just the ocean and all its has to offer. |We didn’t need any of the mod cons of today . The food was fantastic with typical French breakfast , baguettes of corse . |Lunch and was the freshest of fish with a different recipe everyday . |Best of all was our host Muluha and her staff who looked after us every step of the way .|There is a certain spirit that exists at the Pension that needs to be e experienced rather that written.

Pension Raimiti is an incredible place. We have been to many places in French Polynesia, and Pension Raimiti will stay in our heart for ever. As advertised, it's a rustic and remote place, but that's what you are looking for when you go there. Maluha and her staff are all very friendly and nice people. The food is amazing. Last dinner was a fish caught by a guest grilled on the bbq: just incredible! The tours on the pink sand beach, and the remote moth are great , as well as the south pass, are just 10-15 minutes away from the pension (versus 1.5 hours from the main village near the north pass where most accommodations are located). We snorkeled in the south pass: best snorkel ever: dozens of giant Napoleon fish, manta rays, lemon sharks, eagle rays, thousands and thousands of tropical fish. We will go back. Such a fantastic place. Highly recommend.

Fantastic! This place is worth the journey. The setting is beautiful with access to incredibly good diving. The food was delicious. The ocean-facing bungalows were comfortable and had great views and breezes. Maluha is an amazing host! She has taken on the task of making this place even more comfortable, fun, and modern without losing the small and remote vibe.
