In search of the ultimate escape: Tikehau

Of all the atolls that make up the vast Tuamotu archipelago, Tikehau is arguably the most perfect. Here, everything you’d hope for can be found: a turquoise lagoon, abundant and healthy marine life, virgin rose-colored and white sand beaches and a delicate ring of low-lying, palm fringed islets.
From the center of this coral ring that floats in the middle of the immense South Pacific, you’ll find a the view of the lagoon looks like a giant, natural swimming pool. The landscape is magnificent but it also is a place of abundant life that is one of the most fish-filled regions in Polynesia. Visitors to Tikehau can expect to swim amongst Manta rays, sea turtles and parrotfish.
With a surplus of beauty and calm, Tikehau offers the perfect compromise between a Crusoe-esque experience and one of modern comfort – on one of the atoll’s private islets is a high-end resort offering luxury and isolation. Less than an hour’s flight from Tahiti, Tikehau is simply an inimitable destination.
