A Pure Environment
Just over an hour from Tahiti or Bora Bora by plane, the Tuamotu Atolls offer the simple Polynesian lifestyle in a picture postcard setting.

The 78 atolls that make up the Tuamotus, are the largest chain of coral atolls in the world. These atolls, which have appropriately been compared to a string of pearls, offer a panorama of colors and vistas unlike anywhere on the planet. The band of palm-laden coral beaches, of white and pink sands, and motu, surround lagoons with waters so clear they seem to go on forever. Only a few feet in elevation, these atolls host quaint villages of coral churches and welcoming people, far from the modern world, which provide a charm all their own.

The Tuamotu Atolls are a diving paradise.
With some of the highest concentration of fish in the world, and an abundance of large marine life, the lagoons and ocean passages offer some of the most spectacular undersea experiences. From the islands of Tikehau, Manihi, Rangiroa or Fakarava, guests can delve into this undersea paradise or discover why this environment is among the most perfect for cultivating pearls. The atolls where home to the first Tahitian Black Pearl Farms. The temperature, density, salinity, light and overall climate have proven to be just what these pearls need to thrive.
