3. Tahiti 27°C 80.6
Miles of shoreline, dozens of resorts, French cuisine to die for – Tahiti
has all the makings of a honeymoon destination.Leafy forests sit
beside sandy shores; French crêpes are served alongside Tahitian
raw fish. If there ever was a place that embodies the beautiful
duality of the French Polynesian archipelago, it's Tahiti. Here, the
quirky, often chaotic atmosphere of the island's capital, Papeete,
rubs elbows with uncorrupted natural beauty. In fact, Tahiti – the
largest of French Polynesia's 118 islands – is often referred to as two
separate islands despite them being joined by a tiny land bridge.
Tahiti Nui is the larger, northern section where Papeete can be
found. Tahiti Iti (the smaller half) is less accessible, although many
visitors make the trek here for a taste of seclusion. Just note that
spending a week on either part of Tahiti will cost you quite a chunk
of change. But travelers agree that the warm waters, the lush jungles
and the luxurious resorts are worth the splurge.
