Le Tikehau by Pearl Resorts sits on Tikehau — a nearly circular atoll with a lagoon so rich in fish that Jacques Cousteau called it 'the richest aquarium in the world'. The overwater bungalows extend above crystalline water teeming with manta rays, reef sharks and tropical fish. Pink sand beaches ring the atoll. Far more remote and less visited than Bora Bora — a genuine off-the-beaten-path overwater experience in French Polynesia.
