French Polynesia
in Australasia

Bora Bora's lagoon really is that colour. Moorea's jagged peaks really do rise straight from the water. French Polynesia has a habit of living up to its reputation and then some. Tahiti is the cultural and culinary hub, but the real magic happens on the outer islands: the Tuamotu atolls for diving, the Marquesas for raw untouched drama. Come for the scenery; stay for the poisson cru.

Tikehau

Tikehau is a coral atoll in the Tuamotu archipelago and it is, quite simply, one of the most beautiful places on earth. The lagoon is a colour that resists description, somewhere between turquoise and pink depending on the hour, and the marine life beneath it is extraordinary. Studies have recorded more fish species here than almost anywhere else in French Polynesia. There are a handful of small resorts and guesthouses, no crowds, no traffic, and nothing much to do except snorkel, eat fresh fish, and watch the sun drop into the Pacific. Which is, frankly, enough.
