Today, I am taking you to a tiny corner of **Polynesia**, in the Leeward Islands, tucked away to the west of **Tahaa**, the famous vanilla island, the **motu Tautau**. In the **lagoon Tautau**, this little gem is surrounded by an exceptional coral seabed. This magnificent coral garden teems with **tropical fish** of dazzling colours; you just have to watch out for the sea urchins that nestle in coral heads. The motu itself is natural, notably hosting a luxury hotel with bungalows, which does not detract from the place, remaining one of my favourite spots in **Polynesia**. Don’t expect a fine sandy beach here; like its neighbouring islands, there is no beach, except for the "Joe Dassin beach" on the island of **Tahaa**, which I'll tell you about another time!! The absence of a beach gives way to this extraordinary coral seabed, making it an essential place for snorkelling enthusiasts. I almost forgot... to get there, the best way is by outrigger canoe, ***a blissful moment you will never forget....*** [*Béatrice Brothier, passionate gemologist.*](https://www.poemotu.com/societe-poemotu/beatrice-brothier-creatrice-passionnee.html "Béatrice Brothier, Tahitian pearl jewellery") Feel free to share this article! ***The sharing of knowledge is the greatest wealth that unites mankind.*** It's a place, you know, where you don't know why, but you're instantly happy.
