Taria camping

You come here for a straightforward island stay rather than a resort routine. Taria camping is a small camping property in Te-Fare-Arii, with a garden, terrace and free WiFi across the property, giving you outdoor space to sit, eat and let the day slow down.

The setting suits you if you prefer a simple base with practical facilities close at hand. There is a 24-hour front desk, concierge service and full-day security, while pets are welcome without an additional charge. A mosquito net is also provided, which is the sort of detail you appreciate more at bedtime than when choosing the booking.

Taria camping sits in Te-Fare-Arii, French Polynesia, on Maupiti. Tereia Beach is around 1.1 miles away by road, with a drive of about two minutes. Pension Auira Beach is roughly 1.3 miles away and can be reached on foot in about 24 minutes.

You also have several other beaches around the island: Pension Rose Des Iles Beach and Pension Papahani Beach are about 2.6 miles away, while Le Kuriri Beach is around 2.8 miles away. For a meal away from the property, Snack Chez Mimi is about 1.3 miles away by road.

Maupiti Airport is around 2.8 miles away by road, with a journey of about five minutes. Bora Bora Airport is 33 miles away, across the water, so the useful airport for this address is the one on Maupiti.

The accommodation is a single-bedroom chalet for two, with its own bathroom and shower. It is compact, so you will want to keep your bags sensibly organised rather than unpack as if you had a suite. In return, the layout gives you the basics in one place: a dining table, dining area, refrigerator and microwave.

The refrigerator matters when you return hot and hungry, and the microwave gives you a simple option when you do not want to turn an evening meal into a project. An outdoor dining area adds somewhere to eat beyond the chalet, while the terrace, garden and outdoor furniture make it possible to sit outside with a drink or a book.

A mosquito net is included for the night. The chalet also has a view, although the specific outlook depends on the accommodation itself. Free WiFi covers all areas, useful for checking the next day’s arrangements or sending the obligatory photograph to anyone who stayed at home.

Breakfast is served daily as a buffet, with local specialities, juice and fruit. That gives you a useful start before heading out, without turning breakfast into a ceremony requiring a timetable and a jacket.

The on-site coffee shop adds an easy stop during the day, with outdoor seating available. You can also use the chalet’s dining table, refrigerator and microwave when a simple meal suits you better.

Special diet menus are available on request. The nearby Snack Chez Mimi, around 1.3 miles away by road, gives you another option when you want to eat away from the property.

When you are not in the water, the property keeps things uncomplicated: garden, terrace, picnic area and outdoor furniture. You can sit outside, take a slower breakfast or turn the interval between two outings into proper downtime. No elaborate entertainment schedule is needed when the island is the main event.

Snorkelling is available, and walking tours offer a way to see more of the surroundings without making the day another endurance exercise. Bicycle hire is also available for exploring at your own pace. Hiking and fishing are offered as paid activities, giving you alternatives when you want something more active than a chair in the garden.

Families can make use of the outdoor play equipment, while laundry is available for keeping salt, sand and travel clothes under control. The property is pet-friendly too, so your four-legged companion can join the island routine.

A shuttle service is available, including for transfers arranged around your journey. The 24-hour front desk and concierge service give you a contact point at any time, while an on-site ATM or cash machine is useful for the practical business of island travel.

Check-in runs from 12:00 to 15:00, and check-out from 10:00 to 12:00. Plan your arrival around those windows, particularly if you are connecting through Maupiti Airport and want the transfer to run smoothly.

Free WiFi is available throughout the property. Laundry is available as a service, and the chalet includes a refrigerator, microwave and dining area for the moments when you would rather keep things simple. A designated smoking area is also available.
