Polynesia

It begins with a desire for escape—for sunshine, for pure, endless horizons. Then comes the departure, postcard-perfect landscapes already forming in your mind. But French Polynesia surpasses even the most vivid imaginings. Blues and greens come to life in the lagoons, on the beaches, across the forests and mountain peaks. They slip beneath the surface, where the sheltering coral reef cradles a world teeming with life. And at last, you can match those long-whispered names—Tuamotu, Marquesas, the Leeward Islands, Bora Bora—with the beauty before your eyes. And simply revel in it.
