Tahiti is in the archipelago of a group of islands known as the Society Islands in the central Southern Pacific Ocean. It is divided into two parts: the northwestern part, Tahiti Nui, and the smaller, southeastern part, Tahiti Iti. The mention of Tahiti usually recalls visions of an idyllic island paradise. The tropical island was formed from volcanic activity and is high and mountainous with surrounding coral reefs. The island is the economic, cultural and political centre of French Polynesia, an overseas group of islands of France. The capital, Papeete, is located on the northwestern coast. The only international airport in the region, Fa'a'ā International Airport, is on Tahiti near Papeete. The only official language is French, although the Tahitian language (Reo Tahiti) is also spoken. Tahiti is the main island in the Windward group of islands in French Polynesia. From here, you can cross to her sister island, Moorea, then up to Marlon Brando’s Tetiaroa paradise atoll. These Windward Islands are tropical dream islands! There are various land/water activities, or guests can just relax by the pool. Intrigued by this lush island? Come and stay in our selected hotels with overwater bungalows and beachfront properties to unwind in this secluded paradise now.
