Described by many as the last Paradise on Earth, these enchanting islands in the South Pacific have inspired many a film maker and seduced a long succession of writers and artists, perhaps the most famous of which is the postimpressionist French painter Paul Gauguin. His tomb on Hiva Oa continues to be a place of great pilgrimage. Known today as ‘Tahiti and Her Islands’, but often still referred to as French Polynesia, Tahiti and Her Islands comprise 118 dramatic and spectacularly diverse islands, all very different from each other, each with their own special charm.

Sculpted into existence as the result of centuries of volcanic erosion, Tahiti and Her Islands are made up of five archipelagos of varying ‘high’ and ‘low’ landscapes.
