Tikehau

Located some 300 kms to the northwest of Tahiti, Tikehau is also called the “Robinson’s Island”. This oval shaped atoll has a large pass and a series of islets (motu), the largest of which at the south west of the atoll is inhabited.

The charming village of Tuherahera, swathed in flowers, is located on the south end of this large motu which also has two other villages. Tuheiava is an important center for lagoon fishing and the many fish parks that supply the markets of Tahiti thanks to frequent connections by plane. The village of Maiaia is traditionaly producing copra.

The beauty and abundance of its fauna account for the popularity of scuba diving especially in the Tuheiava pass, where the manta rays’ dance alternates with the parades of shoals of barracuda, and tuna fish, not to mention the gray and the white-tipped sharks.

Tikehau is definitely one of the most beautiful and secluded atolls in Polynesiax; it is also home to many bird colonies that have sought refuge in the islets, including the aptly named Isle of Birds, well known for its red-footed gannets and brown noddies.

A luxury resort is located at the heart of a natural coconut grove fringed by deserted white sand beaches where buildings and nature blend in perfect harmony.
