Tikehau Pearl Beach Resort

The Tuamotus


A hot favourite with honeymooners, this intimate resort (there are only 38 units) boasts a stunning position between endless swaths of white- and pink-sand beaches and bright blue waters. The overwater suites offer the extra bonus of privacy and are so exquisitely designed that you might never want to leave your private dock. All options except the over-the-water standard bungalows have air-con.

There are free shuttle boats to the village four times a day, so you won't feel captive here. Amenities include a dive centre, a restaurant and a bar.
