Island Experience – Hanakee Lodge Hiva Oa
Suspended above the Pacific and embraced by the majestic Mount Temetiu, Hanakee Lodge is a tranquil hideaway where time slows and nature inspires.
Surrounded by lush gardens that feel like stepping into a Gauguin painting, each bungalow offers sweeping views of Hiva Oa’s rugged beauty.
Inside, Marquesan artistry infuses every corner, from striking tiki sculptures to hand-carved accents that honor the island’s rich cultural soul.
The culinary scene at the Hanakee Lodge is infused with local products, from the land and the sea… straightforward and delicious, and rewarding after a day exploring the island.
The infinity pool will be the perfect place to cool off and unwind wrapped in the nurturing arms of Mount Temetiu. At night, from this central location of the lodge, stargazing will be magical and will transport one to a world beyond imagination.
Hanakee Lodge offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility, an intimate retreat where guests reconnect with nature’s rhythm, rich culture, and their own inner stillness and peace.
We love:
• The sweeping ocean and mountain views
• The artistic, cultural touches throughout the lodge
• Its peaceful setting just minutes from the main village and airport
