Huahine Island
Huahine Island, notably etched in history as the last stop for the HMS Bounty before the fateful mutiny in 1789, is just a 35-minute plane ride from Papeete's Faaa International Airport on the island of Tahiti. On arrival at Huahine, Te Tiare guests are driven to the village of Fare, where a shuttle boat takes them to the exclusive enclave of Te Tiare Beach, an Outrigger Resort. The sounding of a conch shell and a tropical beverage, the resort's hallmark of island hospitality, greets each guest upon arrival at the pier.

A turquoise lagoon and white sand beaches surround the five-year-old resort village.
