Manihi Pearl Beach Resort

More

Passionate, romantic and secluded, a handful of traditional bungalows are strung like pearls along the edge of a coral atoll. This is Manihi Pearl Beach Resort, a tiny treasure luxuriating in the tropical waters of French Polynesia. As you arise to greet the day, harmonious schools of fish draw swathes of brilliant colour around your overwater bungalow. Slip directly into the warm waters for a swim before relaxing on your private sundeck, drawing nourishment from the early morning sun. Days are filled with sublime nothing or heightened adventure. Dive these exceptional waters in search of schools of gentle manta rays, or ply them in an outrigger canoe. Better still, opt for the famed Motu picnic on your own deserted islet and luxuriate with the company you bring. If you prefer, simply wander the beach by the resort, allowing silken sand to slip between your toes, before plunging into the infinity pool.
