Tahiti, Mo’orea, and Bora Bora

Mo’orea is an epicentre of heritage culture within French Polynesia, and a highlight for many visitors is the opportunity to witness and partake in a traditional dance performance. It’s also great for thrilling ATV tours and watersports. Whether you’re dreaming of unwinding lagoonside to the sound of gently lapping waves or hiking through the emerald forests of Moorea’s mountain ranges, there really is something for everyone.

This trip can be tailored to suit your needs exactly – and each step of it is entirely up to you. There’s two resorts we’d recommend for stays in Mo’orea – the first is the Hilton Mo’orea Lagoon Resort and Spa. This property boasts a beautiful white sand beach and vibrant marine life, perfect for snorkelling – as well as the only overwater bar in French Polynesia. You’ll stay in a gorgeous garden bungalow, offering a plunge pool to cool off from the tropical heat – or upgrade to stay in an overwater bungalow.

The second hotel we’d recommend is the Sofitel Mo’orea Kia Ora Beach Resort. Nestled by a vibrant turquoise lagoon, this resort lets you admire the ocean vistas and views of Tahiti’s silhouette. Experience French-inspired luxury and Tahitian warmth in the hotel’s two acclaimed restaurants, offering intimate settings, panoramic views, and live entertainment. Embrace chic luxury with South Pacific charm.

Just a one-hour flight from the tranquil shores of Mo’orea, Bora Bora is perhaps French Polynesia’s most iconic island – perfect for ending your holiday in style. Home to a towering (and thankfully extinct) volcano, Bora Bora’s soils have been enriched from centuries of volcanic activity to create an ecological profile that is incredibly friendly to flora and fauna. This fact means Bora Bora is one of the most abundant and naturally flourishing destinations on earth, boasting an array of world-class beaches, jungles, and coral reefs. It also offers guests the pinnacle of luxury, making it a great place to finish your trip. We recommend enjoying a delicious canoe breakfast, served to you by a friendly Polynesian local dressed in traditional islander garments.

The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort is a luxurious 5-star resort that sits nestled beneath the dramatic Mount Otemanu. This resort boasts the largest overwater villas in French Polynesia, with the smallest measuring 1,550ft – each with glass panel floors so you can witness the marine life without even getting your feet wet. The thing that really sets this resort apart however is the level of service. No request will be too big or too small for the butlers here, who are available 24 hours a day.

Another resort we’d recommend is the Conrad Bora Bora Nui. This fully renovated retreat has a more design-focused interior than the more traditional resorts on the island and sits tucked away in the private cove of Motu To’opua. It features the longest white sand beach in Bora Bora, offering unrestricted sunset views – and the spa here is absolutely breathtaking.

The island of Bora Bora is French Polynesia’s crowning jewel of luxury. Ringed by an aqua lagoon and coral reef, this scenic atoll’s lush peaks rise dramatically from the sea.

Stay in an overwater bungalow with glass floors that let you peer into the colourful underwater world beneath you. Savour sunset views from your private plunge pool or the resort’s open-air restaurant. Go snorkelling with gentle manta rays, or book a private boat tour of the island. Pamper yourself with massage and body treatments at the spa. Bora Bora’s beauty, isolation, and indulgent resorts make for a luxurious tropical escape.

Mo’orea is Tahiti’s nearest island neighbor, just a short ferry ride away. With pine-covered mountains and curved white sand beaches, Mo’orea retains a natural beauty that feels truly special. Luxury resorts blend seamlessly into the landscape, with overwater bungalows perched above coral gardens.

Dine on the catch of the day at a beachside grill, before watching the sun sink into the sea. Explore Mo’orea’s verdant interior on guided hikes past waterfall pools and through lush plantations of vanilla, pineapple, and coffee. Snorkel with sea turtles in the protected bays. With fewer crowds than Tahiti, Mo’orea offers a more peaceful Polynesian paradise.

Tahiti is the largest island in French Polynesia and a top destination for luxury holidays. With stunning black sand beaches, lush interior valleys, and world-class resorts, Tahiti offers an idyllic tropical escape.

Spend your days snorkelling crystal clear lagoons, relaxing with a tropical cocktail, getting pampered at an overwater spa, or enjoying gourmet French-Polynesian cuisine. Don’t miss the vibrant Papeete Market to shop for black pearls, vanilla, and local handicrafts. At nightfall, listen to ukulele music and watch traditional Tahitian dance under the stars. With its alluring mix of natural beauty, Polynesian culture, and romantic ambiance, Tahiti is a luxurious island paradise.
