2 Best Bars in Moorea, French Polynesia

Background Illustration for Nightlife

While Moorea doesn't really rock well into the wee hours, there's more entertainment here than any other island, with the exception of Tahiti itself. Some restaurants have live music—singers and bands—while the resorts (and some smaller hotels) stage Polynesian dance shows. The Pearl Resort has traditional performances on Wednesday and Friday, and Bali Hai stages its cultural shows on Wednesday as well. It's best to check with individual resorts. The Tiki Village turns on a cultural extravaganza, complete with fire dancing, four nights a week.

This newly refurbished lounge bar has wonderful views over the pool and the lagoon, making it perfect for evening cocktails. There's live music most nights.

Motu Iti Bar

Hauru Point

Savoring a breathtaking sunset sinking into the lagoon at this lovely little spot on the island's northwest corner is a great end to the day.
