The most popular archipelago is Society archipelago which includes islands of Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora.

Tahiti is the largest Polynesian island, with Papeete being its administrative capital. The only international airport of Tahiti is located in Papeete - Faa'a International airport.

Moorea, the magical island, is separated by 17km long channel from its sister island of Tahiti. It is one island, where the resorts are scattered around the edge of it. Apart from water activities (such as ray feeding, snorkelling, jet skiing, dolphin experience etc), there are loads of land activities as well to do on Moorea, such as quad biking, visits to Polynesian cultural shows/dinners, 4WD safaris, hiking, horse riding etc.

Bora Bora, the romantic island, is only a short flight away from Tahiti (55 minutes). Bora Bora has undoubtedly one of the most beautiful lagoons in the world, where majority of the resorts have been built on the small ‘motus' (islands) in this same lagoon. Views from overwater bungalows are spectacular, all around is pristine water and each bungalow offers privacy to each and every guest.

Tahiti enjoys a tropical climate, with relatively constant air temperatures of 27C and lagoon temperature of 26C throughout the year. To top it off, Tahiti gets around 3000 hours of sunshine each year! Please see below a table that serves as a guide to average temperatures and also average rainfall in Tahiti for the year:

In our view, the best resort in Bora Bora is Le Meridien Resort. Overlooking Bora Bora's exquisite lagoon, Le Meridien Bora Bora has become the most romantic, paradise getaway for travellers as it sits on Motu Piti Aau offering dramatic views of Mt Otemanu. The luxurious resort spreads across the private island and lagoon where tropical fish and exotic turtles play. Le Meridien is also a home to turtle sanctuary, where guests can swim with these amazing endangered species.

Le Meridien Resort has recently been closed for few months to undergo a complete renovation. Each bungalow still has a traditional Polynesian feel, but a new modern twist has been added. Overwater Bungalows at Le Meridien Resort Bora Bora are extremely large and spacious and the glass bottom floor is the largest in Bora Bora.
