The most sensual holiday of all! Tahiti, the largest of the 118 islands and atolls in French Polynesia, and her Islands of Moorea and Bora Bora is the place for white sand beaches, waterfalls deep in the jungle and crystal clear lagoons.
Captivating the imagination of history's great artists and melting the hearts of the worlds' great romantics, these islands are a concoction of rugged landscapes, Polynesian warmth, and French chic.
Regarded by many travellers as the last great holiday paradise, the stunning “islands of love” offer high-quality thatched roof bungalows set in a tropical garden or over a gin-coloured lagoon, Polynesian dancing and singing and dramatic island backdrops.Tahiti has long been a quality holiday choice, it is no longer the exclusive (and expensive) place it once was with packages competitive with other South Pacific and Australian resorts making paradise available to all.
Whether you want a private island picnic near Bora Bora or a canoe delivered breakfast in your overwater bungalow, Tahiti is the ultimate South Pacific island paradise.
