Majestic mountain profiles, sublime lagoons, reef islets called motus with immaculate sand, or silent bays... the fascinating beauty of the islands of French Polynesia owes as much to the wild nature of this earthly paradise as to the ancestral traditions that have remained intact for thousands of years. Encircled by lagoons with infinite shades of blue, each island celebrates Polynesian culture and invites you to discover the charm of these mystical lands lost in the heart of the Pacific Ocean.
Meet the Polynesians, explore the coral reefs, and let yourself be carried away by the bewitching magic of the Society and Marquesas Islands.

Hotel and restaurant on the seafront. In the heart of the Marquesas Islands, one of the most remote archipelagos in the world, the twenty wooden bungalows of Nuku Hiva by Pearl Resorts offer a breathtaking view of Taioha’e Bay and the dramatic peaks of the mountains that encircle it. The property, built from natural materials and decorated by artists from the island, has made “respect for Marquesan traditions” its watchword. The sophisticated and extremely fresh cuisine, which honours the work of local fishermen and hunters, is a testament to this. Offering customised expeditions and stays, the lodge takes you from sea to mountain, where you can explore the island’s four majestic valleys, meet locals at the artisan craft markets and discover sacred sites guarded by ancient sculpted statues known as tikis. Afterwards, you may even find yourself inspired to try your hand at wood carving during one of the workshops held on the island. ... Learn moreless
