Those looking to disconnect and enjoy a slower pace of life should head to The Tuamotus. Start in Rangiroa, The Endless lagoon, and discover a string of coral encircling a luminous turquoise and jade lagoon - one of the world’s greatest diving spots. Tikehau, The Pink Sand Island, is ideal for snorkelling thanks to an abundance of brightly coloured tropical fish, while Manihi, The Island of Pearls, conjured up castaway dreams of a tropical isle, far away from the modern world. This is farm country, South Pacific style, where the world’s most sought after gem is produced - pearls.
