If spending 9 hours with your extended family this festive season is enough to make you want to run for the hills, make a dash for the airport instead. In the same amount of time, you could escape the clutches of your in-laws and land in the incomparable Islands of Tahiti.
Less than a day of travel will have you feeling a lifetime away from the drama that so many of us experience over the Christmas period – in fact, at least one study suggests that the festive season can literally give you a heart attack!
Conversely, other studies* have shown that spending time in nature can reduce your stress levels, and it’s difficult to find a place more naturally beautiful and relaxing than The Islands of Tahiti. Plus the range of family and group-friendly accommodation means that you can still celebrate Christmas with the nearest and dearest of your choosing. The town centre of Papeete throws a tropical Christmas party that you’ll remember forever, and many of the resorts offer traditional Christmas feasts with a Tahitian twist to ensure your festive spirit remains firmly in tact.
If getting away from it all is your agenda, villa and home rentals are perfect for groups and families and span from apartments to homes to entire private islands. Tahiti Homes specializes in leasing fully equipped and furnished homes for holidaymakers, allowing you to start Christmas traditions of your very own. Similarly, sailing charters provide a level of flexibility and autonomy that is difficult to match with other styles of holiday. Choose from a boat with a crew or sail solo to explore as many islands as you would like – for as long as you would like. Spend your days literally floating at sea, or make your way onto land to go hiking, horse riding, to play golf, or to even eat at the larger resorts. There’s also the added benefit of no sea-sickness thanks to the protection afforded by the coral reefs of the lagoons.
So instead of drinking to get through the day, change the pace and toast your brilliant decision to spend Christmas in The Islands of Tahiti this year.
Flights and accommodation over the festive season are still available, including return flights from $2,000 on Air Tahiti Nui.
