Why Travelers Love La Villa
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Villa Mahana is an absolute gem in Bora Bora. The setting is intimate and romantic, with only a few tables, and the service is warm and attentive. The food is on another level—easily Michelin quality. Every dish we had was creative, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The wine pairings were spot on, and the whole evening felt unforgettable. It’s pricey, but worth every penny. Hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in French Polynesia. An intimate and unique dining experience. We had an evening meal during our Honeymoon at Villa Mahana, and enjoyed an intimate VIP experience in a private dining area with 3-courses by their very-skilled chef. The atmosphere and service was incredibly special, with a speciality of seafood - especially the Lobster & Prawn risotto which was a real standout. The owner clearly takes great pride in the experience they offer, ensuring everything runs smoothly and going out of their way to make guests feel looked after. The seamless pickup and drop-off service also made the evening feel completely effortless. Thank you for accommodating us - it was a very special evening. Staying across the street, I couldn’t help but be drawn in by the warm, inviting ambience radiating from this beautiful little restaurant. The staff and chef were incredibly welcoming, and it ended up being one of the best culinary experiences of my life. The beef was cooked to perfection: tender, flavorful, and topped with the most incredible wine sauce. The wine pairing was absolute perfection as well. I didn’t know exactly what I was walking into, but I left with memories — and flavors — that will stay with me forever. A true hidden gem in Bora Bora that is well worth the visit.

My wife and I have traveled to many incredible places around the world, but our experience at La Villa Mahana truly stands out. Every dish was a masterpiece — beautifully presented, perfectly balanced, and bursting with flavor. Chef Damien Rinaldi‑Dovio’s passion and skill are evident in every bite. The service was impeccable, and the intimate atmosphere made it feel like a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience. Simply put, this is the best place we have ever been. We cannot recommend it highly enough and will cherish this memory forever
