Tahiti evokes images of lush tropical landscapes; of crystal clear azure lagoons surrounded by soaring volcanic peaks; of love and romance; of gentle goddesses and fierce warriors, it is the stuff of dreams and legends.

IslandsEscapes…by Goway and Sofitel Resorts offers the opportunity to experience all of this with a unique 6 night escape to the island of Moorea.
