Unfurling the Pearls of French Polynesia

“I am beginning to think simply, to feel only very little hatred for my neighbor— or rather, to love him. All the joys—animal and human—of a free life are mine. I have escaped that which is artificial, I am entering into the truth, into nature.”
– Paul Gaughin, from ‘Noa Noa’ Voyage to Tahiti

Dotting the South Pacific’s vast oceanscape across five unique archipelagos, the mere whisper of French Polynesia evokes a dream state that beckons the wanderlust within us. This land of legends is steeped in mythology, mysticism and Mother Nature at her most idyllic, whose sacred shores will captivate your imagination from the moment you immerse yourself in her embrace.

Upon arriving, the spiritual Mana is an undeniable force, and one soon recognises and respects the energy of this paradise. Calling all seasoned seafarers, outdoor adventurers, naturalists, or those seeking privacy, peace and seclusion; the delicious reward of the Wild & Remote is worthy of the long journey. Unforgettable experiences await : sail across beguiling atolls teeming with marine life, source exquisitely crafted jewellery and woven artistry, only found in this corner of the world, witness Humpback whales in their sanctuary and Green turtles renewing their life cycle at shore, hear the siren song and fire dance of the Marquesans that will send shivers down your spine, scale epic peaks arising from the sea – the list goes on… though need we say more?

Marquesa Islands

Taking a 3h 20m direct flight from Papeete as the only gateway to the Marquesas, makes this one of the most remote destinations off the beaten track. Only six of these twelve islands are inhabited with an estimated 10,000 indigenous people, so bearing witness to its vibrant culture, spiritual beliefs and ancient Polynesian traditions will certainly strike an emotional chord. The dramatic coastlines and deep valleys add grandeur and nobility to a place that bears tremendous significance to all French Polynesians. Start your adventure at waterfalls and the archaeological sites of Nuku Hiva, then visit curious tiki statues on Hiva Oa, where the great artist Paul Gaughin rests in peace, and don’t miss the arboretum and wild horses of Ua Huka. Visiting during the Festival of Arts reveals profound insight on how they cement their heritage and what sets them apart.

Tuamotu Islands

With just under 80 islands and atolls making up the largest chain in the world (and yet inhabited by a mere 16,000), the most memorable way to discover and enjoy this stunning archipelago is by private charter. Here, the underwater action – with its incredible passes in Fakarava and resident dolphin pods in Rangiroa (to name but a few) – is tempting for the most advanced scuba divers. Dive into crystal clear lagoons, gaze in awe at coral blocks composing well-kept marae, sink your toes into pink sand along serene shores, visit the sole vineyard of French Polynesia or take home treasured Tahitian pearls from Manihi. If you must stay on land, Le Tikehau by Pearl Resorts is a breathtaking haven on a private motu, reopening this October. With a plethora of secret bays and authentic stories of the sea, this is a veritable paradise on earth.

Ta'haa

Renowned for its heady scent and production of prized Tahitian vanilla, or sugarcane that transforms into delicious rum, this lovely island has preserved its authenticity well. You’ll be encouraged to fully embrace their slower pace, first accessing by boat from Ra’iatea. Le Taha’a by Pearl Resorts is the ultimate address facing the heavenly lagoon on overwater bungalows, ensuring a wholly local experience, also integrating organic materials into their design for a more immersive stay. Don’t miss the coral garden drift dive that sweeps you from the reef into the lagoon.

Bora Bora

Along the Western part of the Society Islands, this volcanic cluster with the original namesake of being ‘created by the gods’ has given rise to the legendary Bora Bora, a soft landing for honeymooners at luxurious resorts floating blissfully above the ocean. A helicopter ride to the Heart of Tupai is a must, followed by a 4×4 safari of the island, and of course, a catamaran sunset cruise to savour the day. Even with an excellent variety to choose from, we still adore Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, whose attention to detail, consistently high service, and majestic views of Mount Otemanu are impressive for all those who step foot inside.

Tetiaroa Atoll

Arriving by Twin-Otter aircraft in 20 minutes from Tahiti, the romance of seeing Tetiaroa for the first time is truly unforgettable, as motus rise out of Le Grand Bleu with vibrant turquoise and sea green hues. Home to The Brando – one of the most coveted eco-resorts in the world – the ultra-private villas, lush island growth and exceptional spa promises an educational retreat and a soulful rejuvenation. Once a summer residence for former Tahitian Kings and Chiefs, the private island is a successful conservation tale with roots since 1966, when Marlon Brando acquired the land and sought to preserve its pristine habitat for future generations. Native Cabbage trees, Green turtles and Coconut crabs are thriving, as are 15 bird species such as Frigates and Boobies who depend on these motus as their nesting sanctuary. Thanks to the efforts of the Tetiaroa Society, scientists use this ecosystem as a research model to experiment what works in harmony with Nature.

Mo'orea

Escaping the buzz of Tahiti, a 35-minute ferry ride takes you to the fertile island of Mo’orea that embraces slow living with a natural abundance in waterfalls, rugged mountains, and marine biodiversity. Moor at the iconic bays of Cook and Opunohu, visit sacred indigenous temples (marae) where ruling chiefs met on tribal matters, or spend an action-filled day getting closer to abundant whales, whiprays and sharks.

Base yourself at the discreet Villa Ginette, an authentic Polynesian faré that steps out onto a lush garden with direct access to the lagoon, adorned with charming interior touches highlighting Polynesian craftsmanship; a perfect glimpse of life as a local islander.

Capturing Canada’s Abundance

As the second-largest country in the world and the closest in proximity to the North Pole, Canada spans just under ten million square kilometers across ten provinces and three territories. This vast nation boasts pristine wilderness, an alluring change of seasons, and a wealth of adventure for all ages year round. The country is a veritable playground for nature enthusiasts, with roughly 14% of its terrestrial and marine areas protected, and a target to increase conservation to 30% by 2030.

Birdwatchers will delight in viewing millions of migratory birds returning in the spring to nest and reproduce in these protected lakes and forests. Summer offers endless daylight to explore lush landscapes and vibrant wildlife, while fall paints the scenery in mesmerizing foliage colors. Encountering majestic grizzly and polar bears will surely get your adrenaline pumping when seen up close. From winter to spring, the Northern Lights twirl a kaleidoscopic dance across the skies, creating unforgettable experiences that enhance your connection to the natural world.

Start planning your next escape at these exceptional places across the country with our guide outlining the best places to visit, the perfect times to explore, and the wonders you’ll encounter each season.

Yukon Territory

In the far north of the Yukon Territory, once a hub for European settlers during the Klondike Gold Rush, you can partake in incredible outdoor adventures such as ice fishing, dog sledding, and snowmobiling. The winter season here attracts intrepid travellers. Whether you’re seeking grizzlies or the magnificent aurora borealis, base yourself in a lakeside log cabin at Southern Lakes Resort in Tagish to discover the Yukon’s rugged beauty.

Quebec

Quebec, with its monumental stretch of nature, boasts 3 million lakes, dense woodland covering half the province, and 50 national parks and wildlife reserves. Visit in the fall to witness the mesmerizing foliage shades. Begin your stay at Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City, where history meets luxury.

Fogo Island, Newfoundland

In Newfoundland, visit the captivating Fogo Island, once used as a fishing base, now a place to disconnect and reconnect. The landscape, dotted with colorful wooden houses and grassy hills that bloom with summer wildflowers, is the perfect setting for reflection. Find your bearings at Fogo Island Inn, an architectural marvel with just 29 rooms overlooking the North Atlantic, inviting you to contemplate the surrounding isolation and stillness.

Pacific Northwest, British Columbia

Haida Gwaii, British Columbia

Along the west coast of British Columbia lies the mythical Haida Gwaii archipelago, often referred to as the “edge of the world.” According to Haida myth, a Raven released the first Haidas from a giant clamshell. Archaeological records show that these ‘islands of the people’ have been inhabited for nearly 8,000 years. The Haida people hold a deep respect for all living things and each other, a timeless energy that continues to permeate their culture. What better place to witness the renewal of life and invoke a spiritual sense of self?
