Review: Sofitel Kia Ora Moorea Beach Resort

"One of the first resorts to open on Moorea—the second-largest of French Polynesia’s Windward Islands—this luxe yet laidback hideaway combines an idyllic location with a long list of amenities, plus authentic experiences imbued with the singular exoticism that famously lured luminaries like Herman Melville and Paul Gauguin to the far-flung region’s storied shores."
