Tahiti Resorts - Looking for a resort get-away? Look no further than the fun and exotic islands of Tahiti for your ultimate vacation destination. The honeymoon spot for Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher, and where Ali had her heart broken by Frank on The Bachelorette, Tahiti has been getting a lot of attention lately! Why not see what the buzz is all about?
Tahiti, the largest island in French Polynesia, had major political importance during a long era of European imperialism and takeover. Both Britain and France had struggled for control of the island, but by 1957 France took over and the Tahitian islands became known as French Polynesia. Today Tahiti serves as a melting pot of vast islands (an area as big as Europe!) with many diverse cultures living together. The official language is French but Tahitian is still heavily used by the native people.
Tahiti is a beautiful place to explore due to its exotic trails, white sand beaches and exciting adventures scattered across a of couple islands. It is the ultimate romantic destination for many westerners and Europeans, and the honeymoon packages are truly exquisite. Whats more romantic than speaking French on an island?
The charm of the island comes from the relaxed, easy-going nature of the locals who place great value in their dance and drama. If you are looking for a truly rewarding experience then be sure to visit the island in July, when the locals gather in Papeete for the Heiva Festival. Tahitians gather from many islands to display crafts, compete in ancient sporting events, and put on traditional dance performances.
