Mota Mauu - an Island Paradise
Located on the northern edge of Arutua Atoll, Motu Mauu balances seclusion with accessibility. The island lies just 8.5 kilometers from Arutua Airport and approximately 17 kilometers from the atoll’s central settlement, offering easy access while maintaining total privacy. Calm lagoon waters border the southern shoreline, ideal for swimming and snorkeling, while the northern coast opens to the deep Pacific, providing open-ocean vistas and cooling trade winds. Rangiroa Atoll, a globally renowned diving destination, is only a short boat journey away.
Motu Mauu remains largely untouched, defined by white sand and coral beaches, flourishing coconut palms, and native vegetation that supports a vibrant natural ecosystem. Its surrounding reef and lagoon are home to abundant marine life, making the island ideal for low-impact ocean activities and conservation-minded exploration. The land’s natural composition allows for sustainable water collection, solar integration, and regenerative agriculture, offering an ideal foundation for an off-grid or low-impact development model.
The island’s generous scale provides the flexibility to accommodate a range of visionary uses, from a private ecological sanctuary to a discreet boutique retreat, pearl cultivation, or regenerative farming initiative. Any project can be designed to align with traditional Polynesian values while protecting the delicate balance of the land and lagoon.
Motu Mauu is offered with full ownership rights under French law — a rare advantage in the global private island market. Independent scientific surveys confirm that the island continues to grow naturally through sediment accumulation, reinforcing its long-term stability in a changing climate.
Priced at £5,700,000 GBP Motu Mauu is not simply an acquisition, but an invitation to steward a living landscape — one that supports sustainable vision, ecological responsibility, and the creation of a meaningful island legacy in French Polynesia.
