A private coral atoll in the remote Tuamotus, a ring of reef around one huge lagoon with a single motu of villas, taken by one party at a time.
Nukutepipi is a private atoll deep in the Tuamotus, once the retreat of Cirque du Soleil’s founder: a coral ring enclosing a vast lagoon, with a single motu of villas and a private airstrip. Taken exclusively, the whole atoll is your party’s alone.
A main residence and beach villas sleep a large group; the reef, the lagoon and the birdlife are shared with no one. It runs on solar, grows its own food, and sits about ninety minutes by private plane from Tahiti.
Every experience begins with a single click. Tell us when and with who and we'll design a world around you.
The main residence anchors the motu with open living onto the lagoon; beach villas add bedrooms and privacy along the sand. Together they take a large family or group in true exclusive use.
Solar-powered and self-sufficient, the motu is comfortable and low-impact in equal measure.
A chef cooks to your party alone: Polynesian and French, reef fish and lobster from the lagoon, produce from the atoll’s garden. Meals happen wherever you like, on the sand, on the reef, over the water.
There is no menu but yours, and no other guests to plan around.
The lagoon is for snorkelling, kayaking and sailing with no one else on the water; the passes and outer reef are for diving among sharks, mantas and dense coral. Fishing, both fly and blue-water, is exceptional.
Seabird colonies and the empty far motus fill the exploring; the crew take you wherever the light is best.
Treatments are arranged in a beach fale or on your deck, and the atoll’s remoteness does the rest, no flights overhead, no other guests, no schedule.
Yoga on the sand, a swim before dawn, and stars with no light for a thousand miles.
The atoll runs with its own crew, chef, guides, dive team, boat captains, for your party alone. Service is complete and unhurried, with nobody else to share it.
Behind them sits your Satopia travel designer, who holds the atoll, times the private flights and stays one call away throughout.
The Tuamotus are the world’s largest chain of atolls, low coral rings scattered across the South Pacific, most uninhabited. Nukutepipi is one of the few in private hands.
To stay is to have a whole atoll, and the ocean around it, entirely to your party.
Everything here is to help you picture it. Your travel designer handles the arranging: the flights, the cars, the guides, the tents held for you alone.
A residence, beach villas and a private crew for a milestone almost no one can match.
A lagoon with no other boats, reef off the sand, and an atoll to roam.
Drift dives, mantas and dense coral, all from your own atoll.
Total isolation with a chef and crew, and the Pacific for company.

Every day composed by one travel designer: the lagoon and the dives, the private flights and the Tahiti nights, present when wanted, unseen when not.

Give yourself enough days to properly settle into the remote island environment. Prioritise a flexible daily schedule so you can balance the wide range of outdoor activities with quiet downtime. This approach ensures you appreciate the natural surroundings fully without feeling rushed through your stay.
