Marquesas Islands, Tahiti
Located in the remote, spiritual and cultural Marquesas Islands about 1,500km from Tahiti, the majestic and historic island of Hiva Oa is known for its wild untamed landscapes, its giant stone tiki, its endless unearthly vistas and as the final resting place of poet Jacques Brel and artist Paul Gauguin.
The largest of the southern Marquesan group, Hiva Oa is a fertile island with deep valleys, lush plateaus and thickly wooded forests. The island is a three-hour flight from Tahiti.

Luxury means something different to everyone. Whether you are seeking the silence of vast spaces, the isolation of a private island, the buzz of a new city, the adrenaline of a safari or anything in between, we listen, we learn, we advise.
Fun & Refreshing
We endeavour that every Turquoise experience is unique, fun and refreshing. Travel is all about experiences, about serendipitous moments and endless smiles. It is a joy and an honour to plan each and every Turquoise holiday.
