Honeymoon Delights in French Polynesia

A honeymoon is a special occasion, and should linger in the memory for a lifetime. Later in life, you may have more exotic or expensive vacations, but that honeymoon still always stand out as the perfect trip. French Polynesia, with its beautiful beaches, green valleys, secluded islands, azure seas and towering peaks, is a perfect destination for that first romantic holiday.
In such a paradise, you can hold hands and walk on a white beach, scuba dive into water replete with sparkling coral and colorful fish, eat at a tamara’a, a Tahitian celebratory feast, and have a massage together at one of the exotic spa resorts. The options are many and the delights endless. Such is French Polynesia.

Watching the Ocean in your Own Overwater Bungalow

Do you want something different from the ordinary hotel room? Something that goes beyond the king-size bed and in-room coffee pot? Do you want to stay in a room that’s like no other, where you can see the fish beneath your feet and the ocean outside your window? Then come and stay in a thatched hut that is planted right in the middle of the lagoon, where you have your own private little world where nobody can disturb you. Your breakfast comes to you in a canoe and as the sun sets over the azure waters, both of you will feel as if you are in a new Garden of Eden.

Luxurious cruises in French Polynesia

This is the perfect way to travel to the remote islands in wonderful luxury. There is a choice of cruises ranging from cruise ships with balcony cabins and excellent meals, to the smaller yachts owned by local Tahitian tour guides. The catamarans offer a vacation at sea, which is both romantic and adventurous. As you sail into the lagoon and reach the remote isles, you will both wonder at the spectacular landscapes and the tranquility.

Motu Sojourn

The motus are the small, remote islets scattered around the main island groups. You can pick an island and your cruise ship or hotel will organize a day trip for you. You can spend the day on the beach and a gourmet meal will be served under a coconut tree or on the beach. You can enjoy your own secluded island resort, where you and your companion can have a quiet day in the most incredible environs, far from the madding crowd.

Spas

French Polynesia is renowned for the superb spas and the treatments offered in this exotic location. Experience true rejuvenation and revival at any of these well-equipped spas and feel a surge of freshness and energy. Treatments range from massages, facials and Jacuzzis to aromatherapy, Vichy showers and body wraps. There are couple treatments available at these spas, where both of you can lie side by side, as you gaze at the tropical paradise before you, while drifting away on the wings of pure relaxation.

Water Sports

French Polynesia is renowned for the range of water sports available in the islands. There are fantastic beaches and lagoons at Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea, Huahine and Rangiroa. You can enjoy scuba diving, snorkeling, kite-surfing and swimming. As you go underwater, you can see the gorgeous gardens of coral and colorful fish, with the occasional sea turtle and manta ray. Or if you both wish to take it slow and easy, the beach beckons with shady palms throwing long shadows, for both of you to lie down in and feast on the glorious surroundings.
