Where is Maeva Hoa located in Bora Bora?

Maeva Hoa is on the quiet northwest shore of Bora Bora, in the village of Fa'Anui — away from the busy town and resorts, with direct lagoon access and panoramic lagoon views.

How many guests does Maeva Hoa sleep?

Up to 6 guests — 2 bedrooms plus a loft, with bathrooms on the main floor and downstairs.

How do I get from the airport to Maeva Hoa?

A free shuttle boat from the airport to Vaitape is provided by your airline (Air Tahiti or Air Moana). From the shuttle boat dock you will need a car to get to Maeva Hoa.

Is there a minimum stay?

The standard minimum stay is 4 nights. A 3-night minimum applies for the Last Minute deal.

What's included with the rental?

The bungalow is fully equipped for your stay — see The Bungalow page for the complete, accurate list of amenities and what is included.

Can I book Maeva Hoa direct instead of through VRBO?

Yes — direct booking is preferred. You work with us directly, with no middleman fees and often a better rate than third-party platforms.

Is the bungalow truly private?

Yes. Maeva Hoa is a single private bungalow with its own balcony and lagoon dock — your party is the only one on the property.

What's the difference between Maeva Hoa and a Bora Bora resort?

Maeva Hoa is a private home in a quiet local village (Fa'Anui), not a resort. Guests get an authentic Bora Bora experience, the whole property to themselves, and personal recommendations from the owners — typically at a fraction of resort prices.

Can children stay at Maeva Hoa?

Families are welcome, but no children under 10 years old.
