Tiki Village

Tiki Village Tiki Village Tiki Village is an open-air museum and a symbol of Polynesian arts and culture. Carlos Rodrigues

Located at milestone PK 31 on Moorea's west coast, Tiki Village is all at once an open-air museum, a community of artists and craftspeople, a place for traditional shows and a village that preserves Polynesia's past. In the daytime, you can go from one fare to another and admire the handicraft being made as you watch (mother-of-pearl engravings, tiki carvings, sarong paintings). One of the fares (the one with the sign 'la maison du jouir' or the 'house of pleasure') is a replica of painter Gauguin's house, built in 1901 on Hiva Oa island, on the Marquesas. Traditional wedding ceremonies are regularly organised, as well as evening shows, along with Polynesian buffet meals presenting a Tahitian oven, where meat and vegetables are prepared 'à l'étouffée' between two rows of hot stones.
The village is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 11:00am to 3:00pm; entrance fee applies. Evening shows are organised every Friday with the dancers of the Tiki.
