Discover paradise in the South Pacific, where French elegance and Polynesian culture create a territory that defines tropical perfection. French Polynesia is a collection of islands of extraordinary beauty—from the pristine beaches of Bora Bora and Tahiti that rival the Caribbean, to the dramatic landscapes of the volcanic islands that seem to have been crafted by the gods themselves, from the sophisticated resorts that offer world-class luxury to the peaceful villages where traditional Polynesian life continues unchanged, from the world-famous diving sites to the dramatic coastline that stretches across the Pacific Ocean. This is a territory where every island has its own distinct character and culture, where every meal is a celebration of Polynesian hospitality and traditional flavors, and where the concept of 'Polynesian time' reflects the island's relaxed pace of life. From the spiritual heart of the Polynesian culture to the modern energy of Papeete, from the historic streets of the old towns to the peaceful beaches that offer perfect escapes from city life, from the world-famous resorts to the traditional restaurants that serve the best of Polynesian cuisine—French Polynesia offers experiences that range from the deeply cultural to the delightfully indulgent. Whether you're exploring the pristine beaches of Moorea, enjoying authentic poisson cru, or simply watching the sunset over the Pacific while the traditional ukulele begins to play, French Polynesia has the power to transport you to a world where every moment feels like paradise.
