Tahiti is effortly stunning, and a favourite of honeymooners all over, so we absolutely HAD to include it in our destination spotlight for our Honeymoon-Month.

Here are our Top 5 reasons to Honeymoon in Tahiti

1. Affordable luxury: With 118 pristine islands and atolls home to some of the world's most romantic resort (including the overwater bungalows of beautiful Bora Bora), coral reefs, crystal clear oceans and hidden lagoons, rugged mountain peaks and postcard-perfect white sand beaches, Tahiti is the jewel of the South Pacific!

2. Wine & Dine: Feast on French and Tahitian dishes and fresh seafood accompanied by music and dance and enjoy sunset cocktails with sand between your toes. Or up the romance and have your resort arrange a private gourmet picnic on your own motu (tiny islet in the lagoon).

3. Variety: With activities including world class diving and snorkelling, safaris and hiking, romantic voyages cruising the beautiful isles, and relaxation a-plenty at one of the many Polynesian spas, Tahiti lets you do as much or as little as you please.

4. Proximity: Join one of the popular cruise ships that travel to Tahiti, or fly into Tahiti's Faa'a International Airport, with both Air New Zealand and Qantas/Air Tahiti Nui offering connecting flights from Pape'ete to Los Angeles (LAX) airport.

5. Shopping: Invest in some of the world-renowned iridescent luster of Mother Nature's most perfect gem, the Black Pearl of Tahiti. Tour a pearl farm on Manihi, Rangiroa, Raiatea, Taha'a, and Fakarava or visit one of the many pearl shops such as Robert Wan, Tahia or Tahiti Pearl Market.
