The Honeymoon of your Dreams
 |
Why is Tahiti so magical?
What sets these South Seas isles apart from all other tropical
islands? What is this magnetic charm that for centuries has
lured poets and writers, incited sailors to mutiny, and inspired
some of the world's most beautiful paintings? |
| |
In a word, romance. Without
doubt, Tahiti is the most romantic place on earth. It was
made for lovers. Close your eyes and imagine an oceanfront
Garden of Eden for you and your Adam-or Eve-and you've probably
just conjured up Tahiti. |
| |
Intoxicating scents. Palm-shaded
beaches. Secluded coves. Islands more sensuous than the works
of Gauguin, more adventuresome that the tales of Robert Louis
Stevenson, more romantic than James Michener's fabled Bali
Hai. |
| |
Tahiti is the idyllic setting
for a honeymoon in paradise. Sleep in your own private thatched-roof
bungalow on the edge of a turquoise lagoon... cruise under
star-studded skies propelled by gentle trade winds... spend
the day on your own secluded islet... |
| |
Tahiti is so unlike our
world, so dreamlike, it seems almost out of reach. It's a
world apart, but not a world away... only a 7 1/2 hour non-stop
flight from Los Angeles, and you're there. |
| |

place on earth... TAHITI, Where Love Lives. |
