French Polynesia is blessed with a selection of beautifully unspoiled islands that simply ooze indulgence, luxury, and relaxation. Nowhere else in the world quite captures the essence of the word "tropical" like the well-known French Polynesian destinations of Tahiti and Bora Bora, which is what makes them such popular cruising grounds amongst charterers.

This article will help you find the best spas to enjoy during your yacht charter vacation in the area. Boasting sophistication and charm, there is no better place to indulge in a lavish spa experience than in this vibrant and natural setting.
