Ultra Luxury French Polynesia Holidays
Covering more than two million square miles and made up of five archipelagos, French Polynesia has a sparse population, ensuring a secluded stay wherever you turn. For an even more private affair, head to Bora Bora. Here you’ll find gorgeous overwater villas and bungalows, spectacular views and plenty of over-the-top indulgence.
For a more laid-back getaway, check out Tahiti. Home to both black and white beaches and extinct volcanoes. Whether you’re after a typical Polynesian island escape or a more adventurous trip that features hiking and a host of watersports, you won’t be disappointed here.
We couldn’t talk about French Polynesia without mentioning its number one selling point: its gorgeous lagoons and the exotic marine life. Fish, dolphins, rays, sharks and turtles all call this paradise home, so be sure to grab your snorkel. The crystal-clear waters and consistent waves also make for good surf, so don’t forget to pack your wetsuit.
But what about the food? Expect to be sampling raw fish with coconut milk, a lot of tuna, and a host of other fruits from the ocean, including sea urchins, giant clams and coconut crab. For dessert, enjoy a choice of tropical fruits such as papaya, mango, pineapple and grapefruit. If you’re in Tahiti, be sure to try ‘Poe’, a famous Polynesian dish made from mashed banana or pumpkin and starch that’s cooked in wrapped banana leaves inside a traditional Tahitian oven.

French Polynesia in a nutshell
The Island of Bora Bora has some fantastic white sand beaches and a dazzling turquoise lagoon that looks like it's straight from a postcard. Tropical marine life is in abundance here, with colourful fish darting around your feet as you paddle in paradise, so be sure to pack your snorkel. Some of the best beaches on Bora Bora include Matira Beach, Conrad Bora Bora Nui Resort, Motu Tapu, Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora and Motu Tane.
Meet some of the creatures of the deep while snorkelling with sharks and rays in Mo'orea, a short ferry ride from Tahiti. Diving experiences can take you down as far as 50 metres, so expect to see a range of marine life that you’ve never been close to before. Don't worry, the sharks and rays are friendly. You'll likely see stingrays as well as blacktip and whitetip reef sharks.
Want a little more than picturesque golden sands? For a change of tempo, head to the volcanic black sands of the beaches of Tahiti. Venus Point, Lafayette and Vaiava Beach are worth visiting.
Tastes To Try
The Lagoon Restaurant at The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort is classed as one of the best fine dining experiences in Bora Bora. Boasting a menu of Polynesian classics fused with French flavours, expect your palate to be titillated from starter through to dessert… accompanied by some breathtaking views, of course.
While in Bora Bora, Bloody Mary’s restaurant is an absolute must. Whether you're sailing or looking for somewhere elegant to eat, Bora Bora Yacht Club is a premier dining destination. Shuttles are available if you don't have your own boat. Saint James is another fantastic restaurant in Vaitape's centre (Bora Bora's main city). It's right on the coast and has a top-notch wine cellar.
L’O à la Bouche is Tahiti’s top gourmet offering, serving up fabulous traditional cuisine that’s hard to beat. Expect superb presentation and world-class customer service with every mouthful. Chez Loula et Remy is a family-run French-Polynesian restaurant known for its delicious grilled meats.
Adventure Awaits
If you fancy exploring, Mount Otemanu in Bora Bora is the highest mountain on the whole island. Climb your way up to its shoulders for breathtaking views before taking a helicopter ride to reach the summit.
The Sacred Cave of Anau is a six-hour round trek with plenty of climbing for budding explorers. Once you reach the top, relish the magnificent views that very few have seen, and with the chance to dine al fresco here too, it’s a wonderful and unique experience.
The picturesque island of Mo'orea is only 10 miles wide, yet it has an intriguing landscape of jungles, lagoons and waterfalls. Follow one of its hiking trails through the rainforest with panoramic viewpoints such as Col des Trois Cocotiers. Remember to bring your swimwear as there are beaches and waterfalls to make the most of.
