French Polynesia Signature Itinerary

Bora Bora & Taha’a

Iconic Beauty, Quietly Reimagined

Design Your Tahiti Vacation

Overview

French Polynesia is defined by water—its color, clarity, and calm. This Signature Itinerary pairs the unmistakable beauty of Bora Bora with the understated charm of Taha’a, creating a journey that balances cinematic luxury with genuine sense of place.

Designed for travelers who want more than a postcard-perfect stay, this itinerary moves beyond the obvious. Bora Bora delivers scale and spectacle; Taha’a introduces rhythm, intimacy, and texture. Together, they create a Polynesian journey that feels intentional rather than expected.

This is classic beach front luxury, refined through contrasts of mountains, islands and ocean.

Why Choose French Polynesia (Bora Bora & Taha'a)

Bora Bora and Taha’a share one of the most beautiful lagoon systems in the world—but offer very different experiences.

  • Bora Bora provides iconic scenery, dramatic scale, and refined resort luxury

  • Taha’a, often called the Vanilla Island, offers a quieter rhythm and authentic connection to daily Polynesian life

  • Together, they create balance: visual drama followed by immersion and ease

  • Logistics are seamless, allowing the journey to flow naturally rather than feel segmented

This pairing transforms a well-known destination into a considered experience.

 

10 Day Classic Romantic Itinerary

Days 1–4: Bora Bora

Arrive in Bora Bora, where Mount Otemanu rises sharply from a lagoon of impossible blues. Stay in a romantic overwater or beachfront resort designed for privacy, comfort, and uninterrupted views.

  • Enjoy an invigorating anti-jetlag massage then settle into island pace

  • Lagoon exploration and gentle water activities

  • Sunset moments framed by mountain and sea

  • Space to simply be, without agenda

Bora Bora sets the tone, cinematic, effortless, and visually unforgettable.

Days 5–7: Taha’a
