GAUGUIN COTTAGES
Our Gauguin cottages reflect the artist’s lifestyle in Tahiti, with privacy that represents a departure from many of the constraints of civilization, along with the comfort you’d expect of a stay at Galley Bay. Settle in close to our peaceful lagoon, a sanctuary for beautiful native birds and wildlife, and enjoy the solitude amid the deep greenery that surrounds the cottages. As you approach, you’ll see the peaked, thatched roofs poking above the foliage and a few hints of the thick, round walls of each unit – twin “rondoval” cottages joined by a sheltered breezeway. They’re especially popular with newlyweds who wish to unplug from the world for awhile. In the bedroom, cool, whitewashed walls, woven bamboo ceilings, louvered windows and terra-cotta tile create a rustic, Tahitian ambiance, with bold splashes of bright color that echo Gauguin’s absorbing natural palette, and the deep cool provided by individually controlled air conditioning units.
Across the breezeway is a bath equipped with a shower and dressing area. Enjoy the refreshing sensation of a beach shower to complete the feeling of being immersed in nature. You can brew your morning coffee in your room, then step outside and relax on your concealed patio, with its adjoining private plunge pool, the perfect spot for a romantic dip.
