Our Story
Pacific Beachcomber SC (PBSC) boasts three decades of experience in extending quality hospitality to visitors to the islands of French Polynesia. Here is a brief look at our history:

1970 Pacific Beachcomber’s predecessor entity is created with the opening of the Tahiti Beachcomber Hotel in the township of Faa’a, near the international airport and approximately five miles outside Papee

te. At the time of construction, the hotel features a capacity of 211 lodging units (179 rooms and 32 overwater bungalows).

1987 Moana Beachcomber Hotel, one of the most famous hotels in Polynesia, opens on Bora Bora. Built at the edge of the exceptional lagoon off Matira point, it offers 51 bungalows, 41 of which are overwater.

1989 PBSC is sold to the Japanese group EIE. Under this new ownership, the company acquires the Moana Beachcomber Hotel on Bora Bora, as well as the Moorea Beachcomber Hotel, located on Tahiti’s idyllic “sister” island of Moorea. The Moorea hotel has a capacity of 142 units, including 44 garden bungalows and 50 overwater bungalows.

1993 The Tahiti Beachcomber Hotel is expanded, with the construction of a new bar restaurant at the edge of the lagoon, called The Lotus, and a sand bottom swimming pool.

1998 Richard Bailey purchases PBSC.

1998 The Maitai Polynesia Hotel in Bora Bora opens under the management of Hotel Management Services (HMS), a subsidiary of PBSC.

1999 The Tahiti Beachcomber Hotel is further expanded with the construction of two buildings, including 61 rooms and an additional bar.

2000 The Maitai Polynesia Bora Bora is expanded with the addition of 20 oceanview rooms, a beachfront restaurant, and a boutique.

2001 Bailey rebrands PBSC’s hotels under the InterContinental name.

2000-2004 An extensive refurbishment and expansion program is undertaken at PBSC’s three hotels in order to meet the 5-star standard of InterContinental hotels. These include:

InterContinental Tahiti Resort
Renovation of 174 rooms (out of 179) whose construction dates to the early 1970s
Renovation of the hallways
InterContinental Moorea Resort and Spa
Renovation of all bungalows
Renovation of buildingscomprising 51 rooms

2004 PBSC begins construction of a fourth hotel, the InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa.

2006 The InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa opens, with 96 overwater bungalows and 12 dayrooms. It is the first hotel in the world to use a pioneering system of deep-sea water air-conditioning (SWAC), which is also used in the Thalasso, Deep Ocean Spa, installed within the hotel.

2009 PBSC assumes operation of the m/s Paul Gauguin, the highest rated and longest continually-sailing luxury cruise ship in the South Pacific. PBSC also creates Pacific Maritime Agency (PMA), a division of Hotel & Management Services (HMS), to provide maritime services to the Paul Gauguin and other ships in French Polynesia.

2009 PBSC begins construction of The Brando on Tetiaroa

2010 PBSC acquires the 38-bungalow Maitai Rangiroa, located on one of the largest lagoons in the Southern Hemisphere.

2011 The Maitai Lapita Village in Huahine opens under the management of Hotel Management Services (HMS), a subsidiary of PBSC.

2011 PBSC sucessfully implements the 2nd SWAC installation on Tetiaroa. The pipe is the deepest in the world at 950 meters.

2012 PBSC acquires a new ship, the m/v Tere Moana, which began sailing in December 2012 to the Caribbean, Europe and Latin America.

We offer our sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.'

800 écoliers de Tahiti ont pu voir mardi dernier le documentaire « Bleu, un Océan de solutions » réalisé par la navigatrice Maud Fontenoy, première femme ayant traversé l’océan Pacifique à la rame.

Le documentaire met en lumière des intervenants engagés localement. Hinano Murphy, figure emblématique de Polynésie explique le lien presque charnel qui existe entre les Polynésiens et l'Océan. Il est notre garde-manger et notre pharmacie. L’étude des différentes espèces marines permet de grandes avancées scientifiques. Des chercheurs en partenariat avec Tetiaroa Society examinent les algues ou encore la cicatrisation chez les requins.

L'océan est une source d'énergie. Richard Bailey, président du groupe Pacific Beachcomber y présente le SWAC. Ce système utilisant l'eau des profondeurs pour climatiser l’eco resort de luxe Le Brando.

L'océan, c'est aussi une source d'oxygène et d'eau potable : sa distribution sur l’île de Bora Bora est assurée grâce à un désalinisateur.

Enfin, l’océan est une source d’émerveillement. L’association mana o te moana nous présente le monitoring des tortues à Tetiaroa, de la ponte au lâché des bébés.

Ce film souligne l’importance de préserver et s’inspirer de l’océan…
