A dozen pristine islets surrounding a spectacular lagoon, accessible only by private plane, it was described by Condé Nast as a site of "unspoiled beauty, outlandish in its technicolor."

The resort's 35 beachfront villas each include a private plunge pool and bicycle. The all-inclusive experience covers meals at three gourmet restaurants (including Michelin-trained French cuisine), daily spa treatments, guided excursions, snorkeling, kayaking, and cultural experiences rooted in Polynesian heritage.
