A SLICE OF ARANUI LIFE … 💛
“The name Te Henua Enata doesn’t just mean the Land of Men. It also signifies Man and Land, and Land and Man. Here, there’s a bond of language, respect, art, connecting with the environment. This connection, learned from our ancestors, holds significance. It enables us to perceive and pass on to a new generation this bond with the Earth and the Sea.”

HOW TAHITI TRANSFOMED GAUGUIN’S ART🎨
In Hiva Oa, visit the Paul Gauguin Museum and his “house of pleasure”…
The museum presents a lasting showcase of the paintings by the renowned artist Paul Gauguin, featuring replicas of his original works. Adjacent to the museum hall is a reconstructed "pleasure house," the residence of the artist. The main exhibition wall of this house is adorned with intricately carved wooden panels, faithfully reproducing Paul Gauguin's original creations.
Gauguin painted some of his most beautiful pieces in Hiva Oa.
Let the islands inspire you the way it did for artists, writers, adventurers. 🏝️

MAKE THIS YEAR COUNT!
Remote, untamed, spectacular… There probably would not be enough words to describe our islands of heart, the Marquesas Islands.
This love story started 40 years ago, and we are still in awe with these fascinating islands in the middle of the Pacific.
So, this is our invitation… to join us on one of our expeditions and be transported to a whole new world, where giant tiki and sacred stones whisper stories of the past, where the powerful MAVE MAI reverberates in your heart. Join us on vibrant, intense and sacred lands.
THE HIDDEN LANDS DOWN UNDER
Roam the orchards of French Polynesia in the Austral Islands, meandering from secluded beaches to captivating cave formations and luxuriant plantations.
Within these bountiful lands, uncover a true sense of authenticity and warm hospitality.
Situated as the final islands before the expansive reaches of Antarctica, the Austral Islands emanate an incredible force, blending the luminosity of pristine lagoons and secret beaches, and the exuberance of earthy treasures and natural cathedrals.
Remote and breathtaking, the Austral Islands are the perfect destination for those seeking unspoiled landscapes and a more authentic, off-the-beaten paths experience in the South Pacific.
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! 💕
