Le Taha'a Island Resort & Spa, Tahaa
Taha'a, French Polynesia
Just ten minutes away from Bora Bora by helicopter, this beach resort is designed in Polynesian style. Located on an offshore islet filled with vanilla plantations, guests stay in overwater bungalows or beach villas built with local bamboo; the former have wraparound decks, so guests can kayak to and from their rooms, while the villas have plunge pools and hammocks under the coconut trees. Meals can be delivered to guests on the beach, and activities include swimming with sharks.
