Comprising a group of islands in the South Pacific, the French Polynesian islands have long been a really romantic destination for honeymooning couples to enjoy luxury and privacy, in a resort which will allow you to enjoy the company of your other half with no disturbance. In essence, a honeymoon is for newly weds to discover each other, to prepare for the upcoming married life and the privacy and time alone will do good for the future.
Also known as the Society Island group, the French Polynesia are split into the windward islands and the leeward islands.
The windward islands include Tahiti, Moorea, Tetiaroa, best known for it's owner, actor Marlon Brando, Maiao, Mehetia, The Marquesas ( which comprise twelve islands, and recently hosted the Survivor reality show ) and Tuamotus islands. The leeward islands include Austral Islands and Gambier Islands, Huahine, Raiatea, Bora Bora, Maupiti, Tupai, Maupelia, Manuae, and Motu One.
