When the gods create holiday destinations, they are most successful when they forget about humanity and let nature write the story. Where the blue of the sky merges endlessly with the blue of the sea, where vanilla is not just a taste but a scent in the air, and where time moves more slowly, lies an island that is not just a place to stay, but a revelation.
Welcome to EDEN Private Island TAHAA – formerly La Pirogue Api. Yes, it has changed its name, but it has retained its divinity. And in a style that would charm even the most demanding guests.
Five bungalows, five reasons to forget how to use a phone
Book a villa: La Pirogue ApiThere are exactly five bungalows on the private island of EDEN Private Island TAHAA. Each of them is designed as if an interior designer had collaborated with nature and architecture from a James Bond movie. There is no need for “influencer lighting” here – the light comes from the sun, and the view of the lagoon… well, let’s just say that you will wake up thinking: “Is this really my life?” The bungalows offer direct access to the lagoon, spacious terraces and interiors, and a special “hammock room” – a space with a hammock where you can watch the sunset over the Bora Bora.
A restaurant where the main course is served with a view of Bora Bora
Every bite is a story – about fish that swam carefree in the lagoon yesterday (and then became carpaccio), about fruit that was kissed by the sun just right, and about cocktails that smell of tropical sin at Poe Bar. Dinners are often served on the communal terrace, where guests enjoy a three-course meal accompanied by the sounds of the ocean and views of the lagoon.
Snorkeling, kayaking and the art of slowness
If I wanted to show the world what relaxation looks like, I would show them EDEN Private Island TAHAA: a morning jump into the turquoise lagoon, an afternoon kayak among the coral, an evening meditation under the palm trees. And if it's all too much for you – no problem. The private beach is always available. Sometimes you have it to yourself. Sometimes you share it with a seagull.
Luxury with a green heart
EDEN is one of those rare places where “eco-friendly” isn’t a marketing ploy. The island runs on solar energy, the water is triple-filtered, and even though there’s air conditioning, you might not need to use it – because the breeze breathes with you.
How to get there? By boat, of course.
Land on Raiatea, then take a 20-minute boat ride and you're there. Due to the limited number of bungalows, it's advisable to book in advance, especially during high season. This exclusivity ensures peace and privacy that's hard to find elsewhere.
Conclusion: treat yourself to paradise
Because paradise exists. Because luxury is not in crystal, but in silence. And because life is not measured in days, but in moments when you run out of words. If you were looking for a reason to finally turn off all apps except one – Booking.com – you found it.
