Why Ultimate French Polynesia Escape: Private Islands & Overwater Villas

In detail

  • Days 1-4: Tetiaroa

    Days 1-4: Tetiaroa

    Begin your journey on Tetiaroa, a private atoll known for its pristine beauty and conservation focus. Reachable only by air, the island feels a world apart – a place where turquoise lagoons meet untouched white sands.

    Stay at The Brando, an eco-luxury resort once owned by Marlon Brando and now considered one of the most exclusive retreats in the Pacific. Spend your days swimming in clear water, exploring the island by bike or kayak, and learning about its thriving marine life, including green sea turtles that nest on its shores. Evenings are peaceful and unhurried – dining outdoors as the sound of the ocean fades into the night.

  • Days 5-8: Raiatea & Mo’orea

    Days 5-8: Raiatea & Mo’orea

    Fly by private helicopter to Raiatea, where your catamaran awaits. This incredible vessel will be your home for three nights, fully staffed with a skipper, chef and crew. Stocked with your preferred food and wine, it offers both freedom and home comfort – the luxury of movement at your own pace.

    Sail between Raiatea, Tahaa and Mo’orea, anchoring in quiet bays and untouched lagoons. Swim, snorkel or paddleboard directly from the deck, or simply relax in the shade as the islands drift by. Each day brings a new landscape – expect coconut-fringed shores, coral gardens, and uninhabited motus where you can enjoy a picnic lunch in perfect seclusion.

    Evenings aboard are best enjoyed with a glass of wine, dinner prepared by your chef, and an open sky filled with stars.

  • Days 9-11: Bora Bora

    Days 9-11: Bora Bora

    Your final stop is Bora Bora, the jewel of French Polynesia. Arrive by private transfer and check into one of the island’s leading resorts, providing you with unbeaten views of Mount Otemanu.

    Choose from two of Bora Bora’s most distinguished stays:

    The St. Regis Bora Bora, known for its vast overwater villas, private Lagoonarium and exceptional service.

    The Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, offering elegant villas, a tranquil spa and private beachfront residences designed for complete seclusion.

    Spend your days swimming in the lagoon, visiting coral gardens or simply resting by your pool with uninterrupted ocean views. As your journey ends, a private helicopter will return you to Tahiti for your onward flight – a final chance to take in the islands from above.
