The Best Place to Shop in Manihi, Tuamotu Archipelago

Background Illustration for Shopping

As the pearl farm capital of French Polynesia, black pearls are the big "must-buy" here. You can buy pearls at farms or at Manihi Pearl Beach Resort. Unfortunately, a direct pearl farm purchase is no cheaper than a store-bought pearl as all pearls are sent to Pape'ete for authentication and grading and then come back to the pearl farms for sale.

Manihi Pearl Beach Resort

Manihi Pearl Beach Resort has two boutiques: a pearl boutique with single pearls and jewelry and a gift shop with souvenirs such as mother-of-pearl items and clothing.
