More Luxury Options in the Islands of Tahiti

Goway is giving travellers more luxury options than ever before to enjoy the glorious islands of Tahiti, with an expanded line of resorts, cruises, and premium experiences in the South Pacific.

Last year saw the opening of new resorts and cruise lines within the islands of Tahiti. These include the Conrad Bora Bora, which attracts travellers with a fully-renovated resort with villas, suites, and the only two-story bungalows in Tahiti, and the InterContinental Thalasso Bora Bora, which has enhanced its luxury experience by adding four two-bedroom Overwater Brando Suites, as well as Overwater Pool Villas that boast private plunge pools on split-level decks. Goway has also begun offering the Haumana Cruise, which sails between Bora Bora and Le Taha’a and carries a maximum of 24 passengers, ensuring an exclusive travel experience through the French Polynesian islands.

Just as enticing as these new in-destination options is the news that Air Tahiti Nui, the flagship carrier to French Polynesia, has unveiled their new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner-design airplane that’s ready to whisky passengers across the Pacific to Tahiti. Beyond the airplane’s sleek new design, Air Tahiti Nui has also confirmed the introduction of a Premium Economy Class with just 32 seats, which will offer a more comfortable flying experience with extra leg room and relaxation space.

The airline also provides a new Business Class with 30 full-flat seats that are perfect for the overnight flights from Los Angeles. Air Tahiti Nui will begin phasing out their current Airbus A340-300 fleet in November 2018 and complete their transition in September 2019, which coincides with their 20th anniversary.

“Air Tahiti Nui’s new fleet will give more choice to our luxury clientele travelling to French Polynesia,” says Bronwyn Hodge, Goway Islands General Manager. “It will also complement the 5-star resort products that Goway already offers in the islands, such as The Brando Resort, The Four Seasons, InterContinental, and the St. Regis.”

There truly has never been a better time to enjoy a luxury vacation to the islands of Tahiti. For more information, visit JustTravelDeals.ca or call 905-799-3000

You will visit the following 2 places:

Tahiti

Tahiti is the largest island in French Polynesia, the South Pacific archipelago. This overseas collectivity of the French Republic is sometimes referred to as an overseas country. The island was formed from volcanic activity and is high and mountainous with surrounding coral reefs.  Tahiti was originally settled by Polynesians between 300 and 800 CE. They represent about 70% of the island's population with the rest made up of Europeans, Chinese and those of mixed heritage. The island was part of the Kingdom of Tahiti until its annexation by France in 1880, when it was proclaimed a colony of France. It was not until 1946 that the indigenous Tahitians were legally authorised to be French citizens. French is the only official language although the Tahitian language (Reo Tahiti) is widely spoken.

Bora Bora

Bora Bora is an island in the Leeward group of the Society Islands of French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France in the Pacific Ocean. The original name of the island in the Tahitian language might be better rendered as Pora Pora, meaning "First Born"; an early transcription found in 18th- and 19th-century accounts, is Bolabolla or Bollabolla. The island, located about 230 kilometres (140 mi) northwest of Papeete, is surrounded by a lagoon and a barrier reef. In the center of the island are the remnants of an extinct volcano rising to two peaks, Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu, the highest point at 727 metres (2,385 ft). Bora Bora is a major international tourist destination, famous for its aqua-centric luxury resorts. The island is served by Bora Bora Airport on Motu Mete in the north, with Air Tahiti providing daily flights to and from Papeete on Tahiti. The major settlement, Vaitape is on the western side of the main island, opposite the main channel into the lagoon.
