Delicious Dining Experience

During my stay, I was delighted by the culinary offerings at Ninamu Resort. Chef Jean-François created mouth-watering dishes with a focus on fresh, local fish. Each meal was a treat, from the daily catch served elegantly to the good desserts that capped our dining experience. I particularly enjoyed a fish served at lunch that was visually stunning and tasted like heaven! The attention to flavors and presentation was simply unmatched.

Unique Bungalow Retreat

The bungalows at Ninamu are truly one of a kind! Each one is handcrafted from local materials, blending beautifully with the natural surroundings. I stayed in 'Miki Miki' and loved waking up to the sound of waves lapping at the shore and the sight of reef sharks swimming by from our outdoor deck. The design promotes natural ventilation and comfort, which made my stay even more enjoyable.

Perfect Relaxation Environment

Spending time by the lagoon was the highlight of my days at Ninamu. The tranquility was unmatched, and I enjoyed the private beachfront cabanas where I could relax and soak in the gorgeous surroundings. I also took advantage of the excellent snorkeling right off the beach, encountering vibrant marine life and stunning coral gardens. It felt like a true paradise retreat.

Adventure Awaits

From snorkeling with manta rays to paddleboarding in the crystal-clear lagoon, Ninamu offered plenty of opportunities for adventure! I was thrilled to explore the beauty of the underwater world almost daily, going on excursions to various snorkeling sites. The availability of kayaks and paddleboards made it easy to enjoy the water at my own pace, and I loved every moment of physical activity in such a stunning setting.

My stay at Ninamu was a mixed bag. The beauty of the resort and the unique bungalow experience were incredible, but the service left much to be desired, particularly in terms of communication before arrival. While the activities, like snorkeling, were fantastic, the lack of reliable contact made everything stressfully complicated. Overall, I'd recommend this place for the natural beauty but be prepared for possible admin headaches.

Ninamu is a hidden paradise where you can immerse yourself in nature and enjoy some of the best snorkeling I've ever experienced. The bungalows are uniquely designed, beautifully integrated into the lush surroundings. However, while the ambiance is perfect for relaxation, accommodations may not suit families due to some issues with ventilation and mosquito control. Dining also had its ups and downs, which could be better for families with children. Overall, it’s a stunning escape for those looking for a tranquil getaway.

Our stay was truly exceptional, and we were enveloped by the beauty of the island and the warmth of the local community. The bungalows provided a unique and serene setting, making us feel at home in nature. However, those expecting a more conventional luxury experience may find it isn't quite what they had in mind. The variety in dining was enjoyable, but some might crave different options. Overall, the peace and adventure here are unbeatable.

Ninamu is an absolute paradise where I enjoyed privacy, natural beauty, and delicious food. The unique island experience and the range of activities made it truly special. However, the dining schedule might not align with everyone's preferences, and the presence of bugs is a typical part of island life.

Ninamu is an extraordinary place located on a motu, surrounded by stunning water and offering a unique resort experience. The bungalows are cozy but show signs of needed maintenance, with the dining options being especially enjoyable but portion sizes could be improved. The atmosphere is relaxed and the available activities are fantastic, but the lack of consistent communication from the staff can be a downside for some visitors.
