South Pacific Beaches [MUST VISIT] - Marquesas Islands

These jagged volcanic islands like Hiva Oa, 800 miles northeast of Tahiti, are covered in lush green tropical forests and the occasional upmarket bungalow. Gauguin scenes and wild horses only build on the exotic charm.

 The Marquesas Islands also emerged as ”The land of men” are a small group of volcanic islands in French Polynesia, a collectivization of France in the southern Pacific Ocean. The highest point in the region is the peak of Mount Oave, located on Ua Pu island at 1, 230m above sea level. Ua Pu is the third largest of the Marquesas Islands and the only major island that was unified under a single monarch prior to the arrival of European explorers. 

South Pacific Beaches [MUST VISIT] - Bora Bora, French Polynesia

While nearby Tahiti has the name recognition, Bora Bora has the better water and more tranquil atmosphere. There's only a few small beaches on around the lagoon, but the over water bungalows and completely over water resorts here are among the world's finest.

 Officially a collectivity of France, the island of Bora Bora lies in the Leeward group of the Society Islands of French Polynesia. With its amazing reef, fantastic white sand beaches, and laid-back local population it is easy to see why Bora Bora is considered by many to be paradise on Earth.
