Romance, luxury, and unforgettable island escapes
With turquoise lagoons, iconic overwater bungalows, and a relaxed island pace, French Polynesia is one of the world’s most romantic honeymoon destinations. Each island offers its own mix of adventure, seclusion, and luxury, making it the perfect setting to celebrate the start of married life.
French Polynesia is one of the most romantic places on earth, and it’s easy to see why. With its iconic overwater bungalows, shimmering lagoons, and soft island pace of life, it feels made for honeymoons. Whether you’re waking up to breakfast delivered by canoe in Bora Bora, snorkelling with reef sharks in Moorea, or sipping champagne at sunset on a private motu, it’s all about creating unforgettable moments together.
What makes a honeymoon here so special is the choice. Bora Bora has the postcard-perfect luxury resorts and dreamy lagoon views, while Tahiti offers vibrant culture, waterfalls, and black-sand beaches to balance the romance with adventure. Moorea is ideal if you want a mix of relaxed island life with plenty of activities, from hiking to diving. And if you’d like something more secluded, the Tuamotu Islands deliver pristine coral atolls and barefoot seclusion.
Bora Bora Honeymoons
Bora Bora is the classic honeymoon choice, with its turquoise lagoon and luxury overwater villas. Wake up to panoramic views, spend lazy afternoons on your private deck, and take boat trips to hidden motus. The island is all about romance and indulgence, whether that’s a couples’ spa treatment or a sunset champagne cruise.
Moorea Honeymoons
Moorea is a little more laid-back, with lush volcanic peaks and a relaxed island atmosphere. Honeymoons here mix adventure with romance: snorkel with rays and sharks, hike forested trails, or enjoy beachside picnics. It’s perfect if you want luxury without losing that authentic, barefoot island charm.
Tahiti Honeymoons
Tahiti offers a lively balance of culture, adventure, and relaxation. Couples can explore waterfalls and black-sand beaches, discover colourful markets in Papeete, or head inland for rainforest walks. By night, stay in stylish beachfront resorts and dine under the stars. It’s a great choice if you’d like variety alongside romance.
Tuamotu Honeymoons
For pure seclusion, the Tuamotu atolls offer a dreamy escape. Crystal-clear lagoons and quiet coral islands make this region ideal for couples who want privacy, world-class diving, and a slower pace of life. It’s the ultimate barefoot luxury honeymoon.
