Tikehau, French Polynesia
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.

Why Choose Turquoise?

Our Passion Runs Deep
We are - and always have been - mad about travel. For almost 25 years we've been scouring the globe for the best places to stay, the newest routes to take, the perfect people to meet. No-one will care more about your holiday.
Definition of Luxury
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.
