About This Island

Secluded and unspoilt, the 56 acres of Urelapa island offer one of the most exciting development opportunities in the South Pacific. With either the whole island or as many as ten, individual parcels offered for sale, no vision is too big or too small. Boasting more than a kilometre of white sandy beaches, calm coastline waters, verdant tropical vegetation, and an extensive coral reef, Urelapa is the perfect spot for an ambitious tourism development or private retreat. Only a 12-minute boat ride from the mainland, the property boasts a four hectare freshwater lagoon – an ideal space for the development of a sheltered marina. Meanwhile, panoramic deep water access presents an abundance of mooring opportunities. An 800-metre former airstrip may also be restored for the landing of light aircraft.

Cyclone season runs opposite to the Atlantic. Best months are dry, calm seas, and prime visibility for diving. Tahiti and most of French Polynesia are largely outside the cyclone path.
