This is the occasion to meet with all the resort's team and to appreciate a tasty cocktail or glass of champagne and canapes overlooking the infinity pool. A black pearl fashion defile is also held during the cocktail reception.
Thursday we offer the Tahitian buffet and traditional dances. Saturday, Otemanu Restaurant offers a fabulous buffet of the best lagoon seafood as well as grilled meats, salads, etc. The buffet is followed by the famous Fire Dance show.
The Tahitian Buffet and Show
If the weather permits, guests are seated outdoors on the terrace of the Otemanu Restaurant, with a fantastic view of Otemanu Mountain. The terrace is semi- circular in shape, with several tiers that descend to a firelit ring of sand where the shows take place.
Each show is an hour-long spectacle of exquisite singing and exotic, rhythmic dances. These include the tamure, a very fast dance accompanied by frenzied drum beats, and the aparima, where the women perform soft, gentle hand-dances, each movement telling a story. During high season, Otemanu restaurant offers every Saturday night a terrifying and magnificent fire-dance, fearlessly performed by a male trio effortlessly wielding huge wheels of fire. A full orchestra playing traditional Tahitian musical instruments accompanies the dancers and singers.
The buffet features typical Tahitian dishes and local produce. For Saturday's Special buffet night, fish is generously featured. The buffet is displayed in individual fares decorated with palm leaves and flowers, with at least three chefs in attendance to grill the guests' choice 'à la minute' and to explain the various dishes.
The dress code for guests is the same as for the Otemanu Restaurant - slightly formal. Men are requested to wear long trousers. Neither jackets nor ties are required. The Staff in typical Tahitian fashion are always in uniform.
