The Tahiti article covers the destination broadly. This piece addresses what Tahiti and French Polynesia specifically ask of women — the overwater villa culture of Bora Bora, the black sand beaches of Tahiti itself, the taro and vanilla plantation visits of Raiatea, and the lagoon snorkelling that is central to every French Polynesian island experience.

For Bora Bora and the overwater villas. The overwater villas of Bora Bora — the Four Seasons Bora Bora, the Conrad Bora Bora Nui, the InterContinental Thalasso — produce the most private and most naturally extraordinary resort context in the world. A PP ladies linen set in white for the villa deck and the lagoon; the Amelia linen dress shirt in Oyster or Hibiscus for the resort restaurant evening. The private beach dinner: the Amelia in Hibiscus — the most vivid and most occasion-appropriate women's piece in the PP collection for the most celebrated couples destination in the world.

For the black sand beaches of Tahiti. Tahiti's volcanic beaches — black sand rather than white — produce a specific and dramatic visual context. A PP ladies linen set in white stands in the most vivid visual contrast against the black sand — the white linen reads as dramatically composed in this specific natural setting.

For the Moorea mountain valleys. The dramatic volcanic peaks and the hibiscus-filled interior valleys of Moorea — the most scenically dramatic island in French Polynesia after Bora Bora. A PP women's linen shirt in a warm natural or a vivid colourway with linen trousers or shorts and leather sandals for the island exploration.

For the lagoon snorkelling and boat trips. The glass-bottomed boat tours and the snorkelling stops — natural swim shorts are appropriate for the water activities; a white PP ladies linen set for the boat transitions.
