FRENCH POLYNESIA
A trip to the South Pacific is on many people's Travel Wish List - and of all the South Pacific islands, French Polynesia is probably the most photogenic.
South Sea Paradise
Translucent lagoons, volcanic peaks and long stretches of beach are the key ingredients here. Overwater bungalows stand above a neon-blue sea, where you’ll find pristine coral and marine life species in their thousands.
Mountainous Interiors
On most of the French Polynesian islands it's definitely worth venturing away from the coast where you'll find jagged mountain peaks, virgin rainforests and laid-back villages.
Polynesian Culture
Ancient Polynesian culture still underpins everyday life here, reflected in a rich collection of songs and dance performances, traditional cooking methods, and the tiare flower tucked behind the ear.
LOCATION HIGHLIGHTS
TRAVEL GURU SUMMARY
Each island has its own draws, from the art galleries of Bora Bora to hiking trails through Tahiti’s jungle. A holiday here doesn't come cheap - it's remote with limited flight connections and the resorts are unashamedly luxurious and intimate. But you only live once, right?
DONT MISS...
Leave the beach and go hiking - Tahiti has some wonderful trails passing waterfalls and dense forest, while Moorea has some amazing Instagram-worthy panoramas.
