Taha’a & Raiatea, French Polynesia

Taha'a and Raiatea share a single turquoise lagoon in the Society Islands: one perfumed with vanilla plantations and rum distilleries, the other guarding Taputapuatea, the UNESCO-listed marae that is the spiritual heart of Polynesia. Barely touched by mass tourism, they reward travellers with private-motu retreats, coral gardens to drift through and uninterrupted sunsets with Bora Bora on the horizon.
