MOTU MAUU Private Island, French Polynesia South Pacific

$7,500,000 Offered Exclusively by DejaView Residential

The Opportunity

Some places exist only in dreams. Motu Mauu is one of them, and it can be yours.

Set on the north side of Arutua Atoll in the heart of French Polynesia, Motu Mauu is the largest private island still available for sale in Polynesia. At 31.4 acres across 127,232 square meters, stretching approximately 2 kilometers in length and 460 meters wide, this is not a retreat. It is a sovereign world unto itself.

The south side of the island faces the lagoon, where turquoise water in every shade of blue imaginable meets white sand beaches and coral heads teeming with marine life. The north side opens directly to the ocean. Between them lies lush, untouched tropical landscape covered in coconut palms, native vegetation, and the kind of silence that cannot be manufactured or bought anywhere else on earth.

A Canvas Without Limits

Motu Mauu is partially developed with existing structures on the lagoon side, offering an immediate foundation for whatever vision you bring to it. And the vision can be anything.

A private residence of uncompromising scale and privacy. A high-end ecological resort. A pearl farm. A copra plantation. All of these, simultaneously, are possible given the island's surface area and development rights.

French Polynesia has drawn the world's most discerning individuals for generations. Marlon Brando built his legacy here. Diana Ross called it home. The director of Cirque du Soleil sought its shores. They understood what few do, that true luxury is not an amenity. It is a place that belongs entirely to you.

Location and Access

Motu Mauu sits approximately 8.5 kilometers northwest of Arutua's airfield, a 10-minute boat ride from the island. Rangiroa Atoll, one of the world's most celebrated scuba diving destinations and the largest atoll in Polynesia, is just 25 minutes away by boat with daily flights to and from Tahiti. You are remote without being unreachable. Private without being isolated.

Arutua Atoll itself spans 31 kilometers in length and 24 kilometers wide, with a lagoon of 484 square kilometers featuring a navigable passage on the southeast side. The lagoon is among the most spectacular in the region.

Security of Ownership

The sale of Motu Mauu will be executed before a French and Polynesian Notary under full French law ownership. This is not a long-term lease or an occupation contract, the model that governs 90 percent of private island sales worldwide. You will own it outright, completely, and permanently.

A survey commissioned by the French and Polynesian State confirmed that Motu Mauu has actually gained surface area over time due to sea currents, sediment deposits, and coral growth. A French public scientific organization has documented this in a detailed report available to serious buyers. The island is not threatened by rising sea levels. It is growing.
