Tahiti, French Polynesia

Tahiti is one of those places that feels so exotic and far away, but for us West coasters it's actually not much further than Hawaii. Spending a long weekend playing in the water, sunning, eating, drinking, and exploring was all this birthday girl wanted to do. What better place than the famous Brando Resort, located on the Tetiaroa-an atoll in the middle of nowhere— utterly indescribable, where everything just is the way it was intended to be. As the Polynesian people guide you through their lands, it’s hard to describe what you’ll feel, other than to say connecting to a place and its people never felt so authentic and real. What a wonderful environment in which to just be with friends.
