ACTIVITIES:
The on-site Lagoonarium is a protected habitat and coral nursery that is home to a wonderful array of sea creatures. Specially designed to favor coral growth using colder ocean water drawn from deeper ocean levels and circulated through the lagoon, this nutrient-richenvironment fosters coral regeneration and encourages a broad diversity of fish species, who feed and shelter among the coral. Marine biologists visit weekly to look after the Lagoonarium and the coral nursery, and resort guests are invited to visit the Lagoonarium to learn more about tropical sea life conservation.
Polynesian handicrafts are not only beautifully made, they’re an important part of Tahitian culture and tradition. Polynesian artisans – or mamas – craft hats, baskets and mats from pandanus leaves and coconut palm fronds, showcasing astonishing skill and dexterity. Pareo or pareu – the sarong – is very important in daily Polynesian life. Worn by both men and women, this large, flowing sarong can be tied in myriad different ways. Monoï oil is another important item in Polynesian life. It is used during traditional rituals for its medicinal properties and as a beauty treatment for the hair and body. It’s also an effective mosquito repellent.
