Featured Holidays in French Polynesia
Classic French Polynesia
Turquoise lagoons that shift color through the day, overwater bungalows suspended above coral reefs, volcanic peaks rising straight out of the ocean: French Polynesia has drawn honeymooners, celebrities, and discerning travellers for decades, and remains the most photographed destination in the South Pacific for good reason.

Ultimate Luxury: French Polynesia
Tailor-made HolidayThis itinerary is built around the highest tier of accommodation French Polynesia has to offer, and around the freedom to move between islands without waiting on ferry schedules. Private planes and helicopters cover the inter-island transfers, which on an itinerary spanning several atolls saves real time otherwise lost to inter-island logistics. The islands themselves remain the point.

Bora Bora Snorkelling & Reef Trip
Tailor-made HolidayYour journey begins on Mo'orea, where a turquoise lagoon shelters black tip reef sharks, turtles, and stingrays within easy reach of the shore. From there, you continue to Bora Bora, where Mount Otemanu rises over a lagoon best seen from a private catamaran, glass of champagne in hand. The route continues to Rangiroa, the second-largest atoll on Earth, where the pink-tinged sands of Vahituri catch the afternoon light.

Polynesian Paradise: An Overwater Villa Escape
Tailor-made HolidayThis itinerary is built around one thing: waking up over the water, on three of French Polynesia's most iconic islands. Every hotel here is chosen specifically for its overwater accommodation, not as an upgrade option but as the room type itself, from the first night in Tahiti through to the last night in Bora Bora. Tahiti opens the trip in an overwater bungalow at the InterContinental, with coral reefs visible directly from the deck.

Gay Honeymoon in Bora Bora: Tahiti, Taha’a & More
Tailor-made HolidayBora Bora is the honeymoon most couples picture when they imagine French Polynesia: overwater bungalows suspended above a lagoon that shifts through every shade of blue, Mount Otemanu rising behind it, and a level of privacy that has made the island one of the most reliably LGBTQ+ welcoming honeymoon destinations anywhere in the South Pacific.

The Ultimate French Polynesia Grand Tour
Tailor-made HolidaySome destinations ask you to choose one experience over another; French Polynesia does not. This sixteen-day journey moves through five islands across two archipelagos, each with its own character and pace, connected by short inter-island flights, a scenic ferry crossing, and a private boat transfer. You will begin in Tahiti, the territory's cultural and geographic heart, before crossing the Sea of the Moon to Moorea, where jagged volcanic peaks rise directly behind the lagoon.

Secluded Tahiti & Rangiroa Tour
Tailor-made HolidayThis itinerary moves through three of French Polynesia's quieter islands, each reached only by boat or short inter-island flight, and each rarely appearing on a first-time visitor's itinerary. It suits travellers who have already done Bora Bora, or who would rather skip it, in favor of a slower, less-photographed route through French Polynesia. The journey begins on Tahiti, where volcanic peaks meet a coastline still shaped by the island's original Polynesian settlements.

French Polynesia: The Out Of Office Collection
French Polynesia Tailor-made HolidayFrench Polynesia remains one of the most extraordinary luxury destinations on earth. More than a hundred islands spread across the South Pacific, each with its own character, connected by short flights and the kind of lagoon water that makes everywhere else feel like a consolation prize. Marlon Brando discovered it filming Mutiny on the Bounty in the 1960s and liked it enough to buy an island.

Tahiti, Tahaa and Bora Bora Escape
Tailor-made HolidayTahiti, Taha'a, and Bora Bora each hold a different overwater bungalow experience, and this itinerary moves through all three. It suits a honeymoon or a straightforward romantic escape equally well, without needing to be framed as one or the other. The trip opens with a single night on Tahiti, enough time to recover from the flight before continuing on.

Tahiti and Mo’orea Island Escape
Tailor-made HolidayThis itinerary covers two of French Polynesia's most visited islands, Tahiti and Mo'orea, connected by a thirty-minute ferry crossing rather than an inter-island flight. That makes it the least logistically demanding of the French Polynesia itineraries: no early departures built around a plane schedule, just a short crossing between two islands that are genuinely different from each other.

Tailor-made HolidayFor the perfect wedding, look no further than Bora Bora. The idyllic location is like no other when it comes to romance. Everyone is welcome to get married in French Polynesia and we'll help ensure you get that perfect beach wedding and the best Bora Bora honeymoon you could hope for.

The Benefits of Visiting The Islands of Tahiti in the Low-Season
The Islands of Tahiti experience only two main seasons; the May to October Summer and the November to April Winter. Whilst the former is generally preferred for its lower levels of humidity and lack of rainfall, it’s also the most expensive and busiest time to visit any of the islands.
