118 islands, five island chains, one paradise-French Polynesia in a single, tidy little summation. The Tahitian islands offer a heightened sense of romance in every sense of the word and at every turn.

First, there never seems to be any rush to get anywhere or do anything, no "hurry up and have fun" schedule that you have to adhere to. Second, when you can rise from your pillow and dive into crystal clear blue water a few feet away, while you wait for breakfast to arrive via canoe, you know you're in for a pretty good day. Third, though they might all look similar, all the islands are different, each offering its own unique romantic vibe.

Tahiti's capital city, Papeete, has the only the only international airport in the area. Air Tahiti Nui flies there from Los Angeles up to five times a week in eight hours. All French Polynesia domestic flights are run by Air Tahiti, which flies to 46 islands in the five archipelagos, as well as to Rarotonga in the Cook Islands.
