Paul Gauguin Cruises offers 7 to 14-night itineraries in Tahiti, French Polynesia, and the South Pacific year round.
One of the highlights of each sailing is exclusive access to Motu Mahana, the cruise line's private islet off the coast of Taha'a, where white-sand beaches, gently swaying palm trees, and an azure lagoon welcome guests for the day.
There's no end to the indulgences of this private island paradise, which is accessible only to guests of the m/s Paul Gauguin. After arriving at Motu Mahana, guests can relax on a chaise lounge with a good book or bask in the sun.
They can go for a swim in the warm waters, snorkel with colorful tropical fish among blooms of coral, or paddle out farther on one of the kayaks that have been brought to shore from The Gauguin's watersports marina.
Throughout the day, an array of coconut drinks from the full-service bar or a refreshing rum punch from the floating lagoon bar can be enjoyed. For lunch, a sumptuous barbecue feast takes place showcasing grilled fish and meats, tantalizing salads, side dishes, various breads, fresh fruit, and vegetables, along with delicious desserts.

Guests can also treat themselves to an overwater massage from Deep Nature Spa.
For couples who are looking to celebrate their love in a romantic setting, Motu Mahana is the perfect place for a wedding or renewal vows ceremony.
