A PRIVATE ISLET OFF THE


ISLAND OF TAHA’A, ACCESSIBLE ONLY TO GUESTS OF THE GAUGUIN


On Motu Mahana, a good time—no matter how you defi ne it—is a given.


You haven’t really experienced the South Pacifi c until you’ve enjoyed an ice-cold beverage sipped through a straw from a real coconut. Now is your chance. T e lagoon’s fl oating bar has anticipated your arrival and will keep you refreshed throughout the day.


You’ll quickly notice that this joint is jumping. Up for some beach volleyball with your fellow Gauguin guests? In the spirit of friendly competition, you might encounter hermit crab races, or stage a kayak race—either is par for the course. If you’re more of a spectator, there are plenty of shaded chairs to cheer from. Around midday, a grand barbecue is yours for the taking: grilled fi sh and meats, tantalizing salads, and the freshest fruit the islands have to off er.


Take a stroll down the shoreline of Motu Mahana for a quieter, more relaxed vibe. Explore. Unwind. Indulge. Check out the world underwater with your complimentary watersports equipment. Or maybe treat yourself to an overwater massage? Les Gauguines and Les Gauguins are on hand to show you how to be authentically Polynesian: learn the arts of coconut husking, pareo dying (and tying), and much more. Local vendors are also on hand with traditional handicrafts, exquisite vanilla from Taha'a, island jewelry, and more.


However you spend it, your day on Motu Mahana will slip by before you know it, and you'll be reluctant to leave. But your own private place in French Polynesia will always await your return.
