The Islands of Tahiti offer holiday homes for travellers desiring luxe on-site amenities and immersive experiences
This year travellers are taking to the road, sea and sky for getaways that indulge in luxurious outdoor amenities, private group stays and ambient experiences. The Islands of Tahiti is home to paradisiacal destinations such as Tahiti, Bora Bora, Raiatea and Moorea, but rather than go the hotel or resort route, locally-run holiday rentals offer island visitors the option of immersing themselves in true French Polynesian culture and lifestyle.
According to Expedia, 42 per cent of travellers seek holiday homes with amenities they either cannot afford to have at home or that they want to try out before they buy themselves. Expedia also noted that nearly 30 per cent of travellers would choose a vacation home with outdoor amenities so they’d never have to leave the property. In the islands of Tahiti, multiple rental properties provide a sanctuary where visitors can enjoy luxury amenities they might not have the opportunity to enjoy at home.
