There are world-class resorts

There’s a reason Tahiti attracts lovebirds and honeymooners. French Polynesia has some of the world’s finest luxury resorts, including the Conrad Bora Bora Nui, which has romantic overwater villas and sea-facing infinity pools.

Elsewhere, The Brando, on Tetiaroa, best known as the late Hollywood legend Marlon Brando’s private island, is a beacon of sustainability with air conditioning systems that run on water pulled from the deep sea and electricity that is partially run on coconut oil biofuel.

Another spectacular option is Ninamu, a secluded island retreat on a remote atoll of Tikehau, which features eight handcrafted bungalows embedded within the palm trees.

If travelling with children, some resorts offer dedicated kids’ clubs and babysitting, including the Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora and the St. Regis Bora Bora Resort.
