It also has a great swimming pool, a small lagoon style with a private white sand beach, and enough deck chairs to allow everybody to sunbath on a sunny day.

Carlton Plage the most exclusive residence in Tahiti

The best place to stay in Tahiti is however the Carlton Plage residence, which also is the most exclusive residence in Polynesia - because of two reasons.

First of all, it is situated right next to the best white sand beach of the whole island of Tahiti, the PK18 Vaiava beach in Puna'Auia, with transparent clear blue lagoon, and has even two private gates to access this amazing beach in the backyard.

But also because the residence hosts the longest swimming pool of the whole Polynesia, with 180 meters long, and this pool is a pure pleasure for swimmers.

Any of these reasons actually is enough to book a stay at the Carlton Plage residence, but on top of that, the residence is pretty new, secure, not so far from shops, airport, and center, and the flats conditions are usually very good.
