Verdant mountains rising up from turquoise coral-fringed lagoons, French chic and a touch of luxury all contribute to making The Islands of Tahiti irresistible. What we often simply refer to as Tahiti is actually five archipelagos known as French Polynesia, officially still part of France. Tahiti is the largest of the Society Islands, which also includes the gorgeous islands of Moorea and Bora Bora. The iconic beauty of The Islands of Tahiti is well known. Coral reefs, abundant with marine life, protect impossibly blue shallow lagoons - perfect places for swimming, watersports or simply admiring from an idyllic stretch of beach. Make a dream come true and find yourself in an overwater bungalow, waking up in luxury and diving into warm turquoise waters straight from your own deck.
French Polynesia’s untouched beaches, mighty reefs, lush mountains and impossibly blue lagoons make it the perfect tropical island paradise. With a wide array of beautiful resorts, deluxe accommodations and endless water and land activities, trust us to give you an unforgettable holiday getaway tailored to your needs and wants. Be it laidback beach retreats, dream luxury holidays, or mind-blowing experiences, you can count on us to make your stay in French Polynesia a truly memorable one.
