THE EXTRAORDINARY

The northernmost archipelago of French Polynesia, Nuku Hiva is located more than 1,500 km from Tahiti, in the heart of the Pacific Ocean! It is a mystical island with many natural remnants such as the Hakaui waterfall, plunging down slopes over 300 metres high. Here, nature is authentic, raw and unspoilt, and it is not uncommon to come across wild horses, goats or even wild boars.

ETHICS

As the only entirely Polynesian hotel group, Pearl Resorts of Tahiti shares its passion for the islands and their way of life. A life that is only possible through respect for nature, which is both powerful and fragile. This is why Pearl Resorts of Tahiti has established a sustainable development charter, P.R.O.T.E.C.T., common to all its properties while being attentive to the specific characteristics of each archipelago. A strategy based on 6 main pillars to help preserve the beauty of French Polynesia: Water and energy management, Waste reduction and management, Protection of biodiversity, Responsible purchasing, Raising awareness and Social involvement.
