The quintessential luxury island, French Polynesia is an artist’s palette with its sapphire lagoons, ivory sands, waving palm trees and isles topped with tangles of vanilla and coconut. Discover its five archipelagos: Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea, Rangiroa - and the most remote, Marquesas - accessed only by plane or ship.

Tahiti is the first point of call for visitors, captivating with lush peaks, black-sand shores, and rich culture. Wander Papeete, take scenic roads to Venus Point, where Captain Cook first set foot in 1769, marvel at Teahupo’o’s waves, and embrace island life – paddling a va’a, snorkelling, or simply lazing by the pool.

The Marquesas, the “Land of Men,” is a majestic paradise of misty peaks, lush valleys, and ancient tikis – a powerful cultural symbol. Nuku Hiva, the literary inspiration of Herman Melville, and Hiva Oa, the final resting place of Paul Gauguin, inspire with wild beauty, and artistic legacy, happily shared by friendly locals.
