LE TAHAA WELLBEING HOLIDAYS

"Uporu" island, known as Taha'a, is a wild little paradise located 230 km west of Tahiti, in the Society Islands Archipelago. Rich with a multitude of treasures, Taha'a was once an object of rivalry between the kings of Bora Bora and Raiatea during the 18th and 19th centuries. Numerous archaeological sites attest this part of history. Over 40 sites and 100 structures, sometimes swallowed up by the blue lagoon, have so far been identified on the island. Taha'a is often called the " Vanilla Island ". It is effectively responsible for 70% of Polynesia's vanilla production, estimated at 25 tons a year. The precious vanilla orchid grows under the humid shade of Taha'a's tropical forest. Once cultivated the flower becomes fruit, which when dried, releases its incredible liquorice-flavoured perfume. The black gold of Polynesia is born, and has now acquired its worldwide reputation.
