When is the best time to go on a honeymoon in Tahiti?
Tahiti is an all year round destination but the very best time to travel runs from April to November, perfectly coinciding with spring, summer and autumn weddings. December to March is known as the ‘green’ season when temperatures and humidity are higher and there’s a greater chance of rainfall. But this low season also brings exceptional offers and deals!
Things to do in Tahiti?
With 118 islands to explore, getting on the water is a big part of your honeymoon in Tahiti. From lagoon cruises and sunset sailings to paddleboarding and kayaking, every experience on the water is mesmerising. In Bora Bora, be whisked away in a traditional canoe to a remote motu – or tiny islet – for the most romantic picnic in paradise. On land, Moorea is an adventurer’s dream, from hikes through pineapple plantations to viewpoint vistas high in the mountains overlooking the surrounding lagoon, this is an island that begs to be explored on foot, 4WD or even by quad bike for the adrenaline-seeking honeymooners out there!
What is the best area to stay in Tahiti for honeymooners?
Arrive on the main island of Tahiti and hop on a fast local ferry to the Moana-like island of Moorea, glimmering like an emerald jewel on the horizon. We love the Sofitel and the Hilton on Moorea, and for a more local vibe, the Manava gives a true taste of Polynesia. Over on Bora Bora, it’s true that many of the resorts are international brands, and this might seem a little off kilter in this Polynesian paradise, but these resorts are poles apart from their counterparts in big cities around the globe. Here, they are dotted amongst palm trees on motus with turquoise waters lapping the shore, and not a high-rise building to be seen. Each resort brings a sense of the destination to the forefront, from thatched roofs and authentic artwork to Polynesian culture and local cuisine. Our favourites include Conrad Bora Bora for its never-ending lagoon and ocean views, and the St Regis which is proud to have the largest villas in Bora Bora. A favourite at Turquoise, the locally owned Pearl Resorts brand showcases five hotels across the islands, three of which are part of the acclaimed Relais & Châteaux family: Le Taha’a, Le Bora Bora and Le Nuku Hiva. Finally, for an insanely romantic sailing experience, board your very own private catamaran for a few days island hopping with a skipper and host, then disembark at the jetty of your chosen resort in Bora Bora and check straight into an overwater bungalow! This is surely the honeymoon to beat all honeymoons!
