Premium Beachfront Suites:

We're especially proud of our 32 new Premium Suites, which offer a stylish departure in décor ''from'' our original Caribbean-style rooms. These suites have a luxurious feel, with gleaming granite, tropical photographs and dark acacia wood furnishings that are both understated and refined. Step down into the sunken living room and open the sliding, floor-to-ceiling doors, then perch on a stylish sofa to enjoy the sea breeze and stellar views. You'll also notice the opulent feel of 400-thread-count sheets and the cozy throws that grace our new king beds.

Cottages:

Our Gauguin cottages reflect the artist's lifestyle in Tahiti, with privacy that represents a departure ''from'' many of the constraints of civilization, along with the comfort you'd expect of a stay at Galley Bay. Settle in close to our peaceful lagoon, a sanctuary for beautiful native birds and wildlife, and enjoy the solitude amid the deep greenery that surrounds the cottages. As you approach, you'll see the peaked, thatched roofs poking above the foliage and a few hints of the thick, round walls of each unit - twin "rondoval" cottages joined by a sheltered breezeway. They're especially popular with newlyweds who wish to unplug ''from'' the world for awhile. In the bedroom, cool, whitewashed walls, woven bamboo ceilings, louvered windows and terra-cotta tile create a rustic, Tahitian ambiance, with bold splashes of bright color that echo Gauguin's absorbing natural palette, and the deep cool provided by individually controlled air conditioning units.

Beachfronts::

Superior Beachfront Rooms

These traditional single level rooms are located directly on the beach and feature vaulted ceilings, private terraces and ensuite bathrooms with showers only. A few seconds is all it takes to get ''from'' bed to sea, whilst rattan furnishings, louvered windows and colorful local art create a mood that is quintessentially Caribbean.

Deluxe Beachfront Rooms

Located in one or two-storey buildings on the beach, these more spacious rooms feature walk-in closets, bathrooms with showers and large beach patios with beach showers. Guests can walk straight out onto the sands ''from'' the lower level rooms, whilst upper floor rooms boast spectacular views over the
