Moorea is a high island in French
Polynesia, part of the Society Islands, 17 km (roughly 9 mi) northwest of
Tahiti. Moorea means "yellow lizard" in Tahitian. An older name for
the island is “Aimeho, sometimes
spelled “Aimeo “or “Eimeo” (among other
spellings misunderstood by early visitors with no knowledge of the language).
Early Western colonists and voyagers also referred to Moorea as York Island.

Because of its stunning scenery and accessibility to
Papeetē, Moorea is visited by many western tourists
who travel to French Polynesia. Especially popular as a honeymoon destination,
Moorea can often be seen in advertisements in
American wedding magazines. Arthur Frommer declared in Frommer's travel guide
that he considered it the most beautiful island in the world.

mountains, Moorea is unique among the Society Islands in having magnificent
expanses of both white and black sand beaches. It is no stretch to say that the
beaches of Moorea Island can be rated among the worlds finest.
