FRENCH POLYNESIA
Often considered as one of the most magical places on earth, French Polynesia is as close to perfection as one could possibly hope to reach. Halfway between California and Australia, this mosaic of moods spans 118 small islands and more than a thousand miles of ocean. Think rainforest-covered peaks with their lush verdant green carpet of foliage and sparkling clear turquoise waters that stretch as far as the eye can see, it’s not difficult to understand 66
why this stunning archipelago has attained an almost mythical status as one of the world’s few remaining unspoilt destinations. From Moorea, rated the world’s third-best island by Condé Nast Traveler, through to Huahine, one of the region’s best kept secrets and a veritable Garden of Eden, there is so much to discover. Heading onwards to sacred Raiatea, vanilla-scented Taha’a and the iconic and legendary island that is Bora Bora, this nature-laden itinerary offers a window into some of the most spectacular and beautiful corners of the natural world.
