Tikehau

Located in the Tuamotu Archipelago, charming Tikehau is a graceful oval of picture postcard pink sand beaches lined with coconut palms. Considered to be one of the most beautiful atolls in Polynesia, the fragrance of the air is matched only by the abundance of life in the bright-blue water, where fish seem to outnumber people one billion to one. The density of the fish in the lagoon is so high that Jacques Cousteau's research group declared that Tikehau's lagoon contained the highest concentration of fish in all of the Tuamotu atolls. As well as relaxing on the beautiful beaches, visitors to Tikehau enjoy endless hours exploring the lagoon, Bird Island and the tiny island village of Tuherahera.
