For a truly exotic island vacation, book a stay one of the islands of Tahiti. Picture yourself among Tahiti's Islands and atolls that make up French Polynesia. Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea, Manihi and Rangiroa are the most popular, and every year, more and more visitors are recognizing that a Tahiti vacation is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Exotic Vacation Spot
The varied landscape makes for an exotic vacation spot in Tahiti. Photo opportunities abound, from its sea level coral atolls to volcanic mountain peaks, white sand beaches to stunning turquoise lagoons and lush green hills. The weather is predictably tropical year-round and averages around 79 degrees Fahrenheit. Fresh tropical breezes and ceiling fans are generally sufficient to maintain comfort indoors, although many Tahiti accommodations are air-conditioned.

Tahiti Resort Islands
Tahiti, "The Gathering Place," is the largest and most populated island, and is the starting point for all international travelers. Cascading waterfalls and rippling pools in the jungle-like interior provide a striking contrast to the black and white sand beaches and turquoise lagoons of the island's perimeter. A circle island tour (about 70 miles) is a great way to see the island. Bora Bora, "The Romantic Island," is often called the most beautiful island in the world, and one of the world's best vacation spots and most will agree that it is. This tiny island is protected by a coral reef, and breathtaking mountains provide a dramatic backdrop for the turquoise, lapis and aquamarine of the lagoon. Visitors can enjoy the lagoonarium, a marine exhibit in the lagoon where the adventurous can swim with stingrays, huge sea turtles and reef sharks.

Overwater bungalows
One of the most luxurious accommodations on any of Tahiti's islands are the overwater bungalows. The InterContinental Beachcomber Resort Moorea is located there and features 50 over water bungalows, while the Bora Bora Lagoon Resort, the Hotel Bora Bora, the Pearl Beach Resort and Sofitel Marara also offer overwater bungalow accommodations.
