The map
Faaa is the most populous commune in French Polynesia, spread along the northwest coast of Tahiti just west of Papeete. Its map is shaped by a narrow coastal strip and the mountains behind it: roads and houses crowd the flat land by the lagoon, then climb in thin, winding lines up the ridges and into the valleys that cut into the island.
The dominant feature is Faa'a International Airport, the main gateway to French Polynesia. Its runway was built largely on land reclaimed from the reef, so on a map it appears as a long, straight shape laid along the shoreline, with the lagoon on one side and the town on the other. Few places show a runway so tightly bound to the coast.
Beyond the reef, the open Pacific fills much of the frame, and to the west, across the channel, lies Moorea. A Faaa map poster balances water and land in an unusual way, with the coastline, reef edge and airport forming a strong horizontal band beneath the fine, branching roads of the hills.
The airport runway stretches along reclaimed reef land at the water's edge, a bold straight line that defines the entire coastal side of the commune.
Narrow roads climb from the coast into steep valleys and along ridges, branching into short lanes that end where the slopes become too steep to build.
The main road around Tahiti follows the shoreline through Faaa, linking it to Papeete and the west coast in one continuous line.

Why Faaa
For many travellers, Faaa is the first and last place they see in French Polynesia, and for residents it is simply home. The map captures the point where island, lagoon and runway meet, a memorable image for either.
Personalise the title and subtitle, for example with a wedding or arrival date, and keep the exact coordinates. Pick one of five styles, such as Blueprint for the lagoon or Sand for a softer tone, then download the HD files or order a printed poster.
