7 Dream Islands (You Haven't Heard of Yet)

One of the seven is the Tahitian island of Fakarava!

Escape to one of these, and you're guaranteed to get there before anyone you know

French Polynesia

Fakarava Island

The island's single road wasn't paved until 2003, in anticipation of a visit by then-French president Jacques Chirac (he never arrived, nor did he give a reason why). But that certainly helped put Fakarava on the map — unlike its more populated neighbors Bora-Bora and Tahiti, Fakarava is home to about 500 residents. In the center of Rotoava village is the Relais Marama, the one pension in town with oceanfront bungalows. For divers and snorkelers, the northern Garuae Pass and the southern Tumakohua Pass have pristine coral reefs that are accessible through outfitter Te Ava Nui. You'll have to travel for a full day to get to and from Tumakohua — the pass is only reachable by boat — but it's worth the trip. The nearby village of Tetamanu has a church built entirely out of coral, as well as several black-pearl farms that give free tours. A pension on the outskirts of Rotoava, Pearl Guest House Havaiki, will even allow you to snorkel to its oyster farm with the owner and keep any pearls you find. One-hour flights to Fakarava depart from Papeete, Tahiti, once daily. — Lynwood Lord

Often called "The Island of Love," Tahiti is the largest of the islands. Born in a series of volcanic upheavals nearly three million years ago, the island of Tahiti is a range of lushly forested peaks plunging deep into the sea. The island's interior is astounding; waterfalls cascade over sheer cliffs into rainforests below and rivers cut through dense valleys of giant ferns, wild fruit trees, and iridescent flowers. Most hotels are on the northwest coast of the island on a 6-mile stretch between Punaauia and Papeete. While a visit to the town itself doesn't constitute a true visit to the island, there are interesting things to do there - - shop at numerous boutiques or the open-air marketplace, visit one of several waterfront cafes and restaurants, or tour the Museum of Tahiti and Her Islands nearby.


Moorea is a stunning jewel of jagged peaks, rising majestically from a sapphire sea. Completely encircled by coral reef, the island was originally a volcano whose caldera has eroded over time, allowing the sea to flow deep into the interior to create Opunohu Bay and Cook's Bay. Life-style is slower than on Tahiti. Most hotels are located near the bays on the dramatic northern side of the island.



The legendary island of Bora Bora is known throughout the world as one of the most romantic islands on the planet. A quiet, unspoiled haven. This emerald-green island is almost completely encircled by offshore islets and reefs, with only one narrow pass to the open sea, creating a magnificent lagoon of infinte depths and colors. An ideal way to appreciate Bora Bora is by bicycle or cruise around the lagoon by outrigger canoe


Huahine is a magical place. Huahine is actually two islands, Huahine-Nui and Huahine-Iti (Big and Little Huahine), each one crowned by a volcanic peak and separated only by this narrow isthmus. A coral reef surrounds the two-islands and their palm-fringed motus (off-shore islets), creating multi-hued lagoons. Huahine is nearly untouched by tourism, where locals still farm vanilla, taro root, melons and breadfruit, selling them on Market Day in the lovely port village of Fare.


Manihi is one of the prettiest atolls in the Tuamotu Archipelago. Located 312 miles northeast of Tahiti, this atoll is home to French Polynesia's famed black pearls, which are taken from undersea pearl farms sheltered within Manihi's 19-mile long lagoon. Manihi offers world-class diving and snorkeling, as well as excellent line and spear fishing. Visitors can see how the rare black pearl is created and harvested from the oyster.


Tikehau, an oval-shaped atoll approximately 12 km from Rangiroa, has a large pass and a series of islets. The charming village of Tuherahera is situated on the south end of the largest motu. As the Tuamotus are sparsely populated, social life on the atolls revolves around your hotel, where you'll enjoy the companionship of fellow adventurers from around the world.



Rangiroa is a perfect example of what happens to a volcano when it erodes over time. Its caldera submerged, creating a body of water surrounded by a dotted ring of sand and reef. Truly one of the world's greatest diving destinations, Rangiroa attracts both amateur and professional divers worldwide.







Raiatea is second in size to Tahiti and is the administration and trading center for the Leeward Islands. To the ancestors of today's Tahitians, Raiatea was known as Sacred Havai'i, and was the center of royalty, religion, culture and history. Enclosed within the lagoon surrounding Raiatea are beautiful beaches, coral gardens and the perfect location for sailing, deep sea fishing and scuba diving.

Enclosed within the lagoon surrounding Tahaa, are beautiful beaches, coral gardens and the perfect location for sailing, deep sea fishing and scuba diving. A visit to the island of Tahaa will take you along the coastal road, past small villages, winding up mountain roads with views of the deep bays, white sand beaches and surrounding offshore islets. Tahaa has an unhurried pace combined with natural beauty and tranquility.


From the fantastic skyline of Ua Pou to the desert-like plateau of Ua Huka, the islands of the Marquesas archipelago are far from the beaten track, with a beauty matched only by their serenity. Among the great volcanic cliffs and towering mountains of the Marquesas are a countless number of geological, archeological and man-made wonders. Indeed, the Marquesas Islands may be the most site-intensive spot in all of French Polynesia. For an adventure you're sure to cherish for a lifetime, try exploring the waters around the Marquesas.

Concierge lists Bora Bora as one of their favorite Islands!

The island: Bora Bora, French Polynesia

The goods: On any short list of the world's most beautiful islands—even if the list is one entry long—you're likely to find Bora Bora. Winging in on the flight from Tahiti, you'll see why. From your bird's-eye view, you'll pick out the white-ruffled circle of reef, the blues of the lagoon, and the green, nearly vertical peak. It's one of the few things on this earth that's exactly how you dreamed it.

Be sure to: Stay in an overwater bungalow. They're built in the clear, calm lagoon, with a white-sand bottom and bath-warm water. They are also one of the best places to observe sea life through a mask—even during the shark feedings, when the sharks, the handlers assure you, remain on their side of the rope.

Best beach: Among the island's surprisingly few, Matira, the only public strand, is a white-sand beauty. Trust us, though, you wouldn't trade a bit of sand for the lagoon anyway.

Perfect season: June through October, keeping in mind that July is a very busy month—especially with the French.

Call it home: The St. Regis Resort is one of the newest luxury hotels on the island, and its overwater bungalows are also the roomiest.

The sundowner: Whatever your heart desires, sweetie

Come to bed: To ensure exclusivity and privacy, Motu Tane can only be rented by one select group at a time.
