French Polynesia

Bora Bora, Tahiti, Moorea: the names that invented tropical paradise and overwater villas

French Polynesia is the dream come true. Bora Bora with its impossibly blue lagoon and Mount Otemanu backdrop, Moorea with its dreamy bays, Tahiti with its Maori culture... Here overwater bungalows were invented, and here they remain the world's best.
French Polynesia isn't a destination: it's THE destination. The place where the concept of tropical paradise as we know it today was born. The first overwater bungalows were built here in the 60s, and since then the whole world has tried to imitate them without quite succeeding. Bora Bora is the crown jewel: a lagoon of impossible blues surrounded by white sand motus (islets), with dramatic Mount Otemanu dominating the horizon. Luxury resorts compete to offer the planet's most spectacular overwater villas. But Polynesia is much more than Bora Bora. Moorea, just 30 minutes by ferry from Tahiti, has the Pacific's most photogenic bays. Tahiti itself is an island with vertiginous mountains, waterfalls and living Polynesian culture. And beyond are Gauguin's Marquesas, Tuamotu atolls for diving, Huahine and Raiatea with their ancient temples...
