Ring of motu
Long, narrow islets surround the lagoon on nearly every side, drawing a thin band of land that encloses the whole composition like a frame.

On the wall



The island
Maupiti lies west of Bora Bora in the Leeward Islands of French Polynesia. At its centre is a small, steep volcanic island, and around that a wide, shallow lagoon enclosed by long, low motu and reef. From above the arrangement is almost diagrammatic: a dark core, a pale ring of water and a thin outer band of land, like a smaller, quieter version of its famous neighbour.
The lagoon opens to the ocean through a single narrow pass on the southern side, known for strong currents, which has helped keep large boats and large-scale tourism away. The island's village and its coastal road wrap around the shoreline of the main island, while the motu carry beaches and a few scattered homes. Manta rays are often seen in the lagoon.
A Maupiti map poster is one of the most graphic island designs available: concentric shapes, a single road loop and a scatter of paths. It works on any wall where a centred, balanced composition is wanted, and it is often chosen by people who stayed in a small guesthouse there, or who sailed through the pass and remember it.
Long, narrow islets surround the lagoon on nearly every side, drawing a thin band of land that encloses the whole composition like a frame.
The lagoon's only opening, a slim channel through the reef to the south, is the single break in the outer ring and a well-known challenge for sailors.
A road circles the central island along the shore, the main line of the map and the axis around which the village is spread.

Why Maupiti
Maupiti is often chosen as a honeymoon or anniversary map, or by sailors who crossed its pass. Its concentric shape sits beautifully at the centre of a frame and reads clearly even at the smaller print sizes.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line with names and a date. Choose from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand; Sand and Paper give the lagoon a warm, beach-like softness, while Noir makes the ring of motu stand out.
