Luxury French Polynesia Yacht Charter
Luxury yacht charter in French Polynesia
A superyacht charter in French Polynesia is like no other on earth. Its crystal-clear, warm waters play host to an incredible natural aquarium, impossibly pristine beaches are bordered by tropical palms offering picture-perfect shorelines. This really is paradise.
Lying northwest of Tahiti in the Society Islands, the heart-shaped island Moorea is set in a coral reef and ringed by lush green mountains. The protected waters of Moorea’s Lagoonarium offer the opportunity to swim with an abundance of colourful marine life. For an unforgettable experience, snorkel through the warm water of Opunohu Bay as stingrays and reef sharks bask on the shallow sand bar below.
Secluded and tranquil, Fare is one of the most exclusive private spas in Tahiti. The beautiful spa is set on the Miki Miki Motu and linked to nearby Vahine by a wooden bridge. Relax with an open-air massage and escape from the world in this tiny tropical oasis. Unwind with a traditional Taurami massage treatment before taking a dip in Fare’s private lagoon as the sun sets over the South Pacific.
The island of Raiatea is traditionally thought to be the original birthplace of Polynesia. Set in a vast sheltered lagoon, it’s also one of the best sailing destinations in the South Pacific. Hop in a canoe or kayak and explore the Faaroa River which winds through the island’s lush rainforest.
