Nukutepipi Atoll to get a Resort
By Islomaniac | February 16, 2007
Here is some exciting news for private island resort lovers. Nukutepipi Atoll, in Bora Bora is about to get a beautiful new resort. I am always thrilled when these small new resorts will be built on islands. Since my wife and I were true islomaniacs we always got a kick out of traveling to these remote islands.

The Council of ministers announced Wednesday that two new hotel projects on Bora Bora (Leeward Islands) and on the tiny atoll of Nukutepipi in the Tuamotu archipelago have received French Polynesia’s agreement.
“The investor is a French-Canadian businessman who has created in 20 years a company specialized in culture and entertainment with a staff of more than 3,000 working in several countries”, the Council of ministers press release states.
“This company would like to extend its activities and has chosen French Polynesia to launch original hotel projects”, the press release adds.
The first part of the project should be built in the Faanui district, on the island of Bora Bora. This new hotel should include more than 40 units.
The cost of this hotel will be around US$ 66 003 000/50 280 000 euros and the rooms should be open to the public in 2010. A staff of 70 to 90 are expected to work at this new hotel.
The second part of the projet will be smaller and located on the remote island of Nukutepipi, in the Tuamotu archipelago. A budget of around US$ 16 500 000/12 570 000 euros will be necessary to buy the land and build an hotel.
This get-away hotel will accommodate from 25 to 40 persons and is scheduled to open in 2007.
In Bora Bora and Nukutepipi: more than seven billion investment
The Council of Ministers authorized an investment concerning the development of a tourist project important and innovating for French Polynesia. Important by the amount of the investment but also innovating by the philosophy of the project and the personality of its carrier.
The investor is a French-speaking businessman Canadian who went up in 20 years, a cultural company of fame international, counting more than 3.000 employees and present on several continents.
This company, which in addition devotes part of its sales turnover to social action programmes and cultural, decided to extend its field of activities and chose French Polynesia to develop an original project of hotel trade.
This project will have the characteristic to develop on two sites. On the first, located at Faanui, Bora-Bora, of a surface of more than 7 ha, will be built a hotel program, cash forty units. The estimated investment is 6 billion XPF and it will induce the creation from 70 to 90 employment. The beginning of exploitation is envisaged in 2010.
The second site is the atoll of Nukutepipi close to the atoll of Anuanuraro. The promoter acquires the totality of surface, that is to say approximately 60 ha. This land transfer is done of anybody private with anybody deprived and relates to a total amount of 600 xpf million. It is in the long term considered the construction of a holiday resort making it possible to accomodate from 25 to 40 people. The investment will be approximately 900 xpf million, but it is envisaged an exploitation of the site in its current state since 2007.
It appears clearly that the complementarity between the resources of a high island (Bora-Bora) and those of the atoll isolated from Nukutepipi constitutes an advantage for the development of this project which rests on an ecological approach, cultural and ludic and being a first in a crenel is raised of top-of-the-range hotel trade but with human size.
The validation of this project, presented by the ministry for the Economy, marks at the same time the return to confidence on behalf of private investors and the will of the government to continue to develop the tourist sector.
