In this episode, we talk about Niu Beach Hotel in Moorea and why it appeals to travelers who want simplicity, calm, and a strong connection to place. Sylvia Martino shares how this boutique hotel was designed to feel more like home than a resort, offering modern bungalows, lagoon access, and freedom from rigid schedules.

We explore what it means to travel without overplanning, how kitchens and quiet surroundings create a more natural rhythm, and why the west coast of Moorea is ideal for slowing down. This episode is for travelers who value experience over excess and prefer peaceful settings over busy resorts.
