Your Guide to an Unforgettable Honeymoon in Tahiti

There is nowhere on Earth more romantic, more seductive, more perfectly suited to an unforgettable honeymoon than Tahiti in French Polynesia. Imagine indulging in a massage while watching the fish swim beneath you, and enjoying your own overwater bungalow with free Wi-fi, mini bar and an American Buffet Breakfast daily on an idyllic private island. In Tahiti your dream of an unforgettable honeymoon turns into reality.

Overwater Bungalows

On Bora Bora, indulge in an overwater bungalow at the luxurious InterContinental Resort, Thalasso Spa Bora Bora or St Regis Resort Bora Bora. Enjoy complete privacy in the enclosed patios, complete with sun deck and splash pool, at Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort.

For an authentic French Polynesian experience, stay at Tahaa, at Le Taha’as Private Island and Spa, with its views to Bora Bora. On Huahine, Te Tiare Beach Resort offers intimacy and overwater bungalows with thatched roof shaded decks.

Beaches

Tahiti’s islands are surrounded by coral reefs, providing spectacular underwater vistas and sheltered lagoons, ideal for swimming and snorkelling, or walking hand in hand along the water’s edge, where tiny waves lap onto soft white sand against a backdrop of swaying coconut palms. The best beaches include Tahiti Iti’s La Plage de Maui and Moorea’s Temae Plage Publique.

Bora Bora’s best, Matira Beach, is a stretch of white sand with views to Raiatea and Tahaa. For complete seclusion visit Plage Tereia on Maupiti and find the remote Les Sables Rose – The Pink Sands – on Rangiroa.

Dining

In French Polynesia there is no bad dining experience, especially for couples, with fine French and Polynesian cuisine served in some of the most romantic settings in the world, including Le Coco’s on Tahiti’s west coast and Le Lotus, located in an overwater dining room at the InterContinental Resort. On Bora Bora have a fun night out at the famous Bloody Mary’s Restaurant & Bar and bring back the romance at Chef Damien Ridaldi Dovio’s La Villa Mahana.

Spa

Tahiti’s spas offer indulgent couples’ pamper packages, featuring Polynesian flowers and oils in signature treatments such as a Fresh Flower Bath for two, body wraps, massages, flower remedies and aromatherapies, rain showers and river baths.  A luxury spa session will have you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Enjoy a fragrant couples massage at Bora Bora Pearl beach resort’s Monoi Maitai, a body treatment at the Sofitel’s Le Spa, or an unforgettable Deep Sea Water Treatment at Bora Bora InterContinental Resort & Thalasso Spa’s Deep Ocean Spa.

Activities

Take the time to travel to the more remote islands, the ends of the earth; visit the mysterious Tuamotu Islands, the secluded Austral Islands, the Marquesas or the Gambier Archipelago. Trek together to the top of Mt Pohue Rahi on Huahine Iti or Mt Tapu on Huahine Nui. Try traditional Polynesian dance, or enjoy kite surfing, parasailing, kayaking, snorkelling or scuba diving. Swim with dolphins, or take a safari tour together through the lush rainforest.

Start planning your honeymoon in Tahiti and enjoy one of the most romantic getaways for you and your partner.
