French Polynesia Weather and Resorts in January


January is not the best time to visit French Polynesia if you’re looking for dry, sunny weather. The archipelago experiences its wet season from the beginning of the year until April. Despite increased rainfall, this also means hotels aren’t as busy, and rates are more competitive.
