Mahana Pae – The Friday that sets the tone for the weekend

In Reo Tahiti, Mahana Pae means Friday.
But here, the word carries a soul — the soul of a special day, when we leave behind the rush of the week to reconnect with the rhythm of the fenua, the land, the culture, and the spirit of sharing.

Every last Friday of the month, Mahana Pae is celebrated like a gentle and vibrant ritual — a meaningful transition into a weekend rooted in our heritage.


A Friday to savor

Mahana Pae is a meeting with oneself and with the land.
We slow down.
We take the time to:

→ wear flower crowns or a flower in your ear
→ dress in flower motifs
→ stroll through the streets of Pape’ete and enjoy the entertainment offered by the town


Get in the weekend mood

Why not start the weekend with music?
To carry the Mahana Pae spirit into your home, your car, or your workspace, we’ve created a special playlist — filled with sounds of the fenua, the roots, the ’ori, and the ocean breeze:

Press play and let yourself drift away.
Because Mahana Pae is also that: a feeling, a vibration that carries us, prepares us for the weekend, and reconnects us to our culture — even through music.


A Friday that feels good

No schedule required. No specific place.
Mahana Pae can be lived wherever you are, the moment you choose to slow down, feel, and celebrate what ties us to the fenua.

A Friday for yourself, for others, for the culture.
A Friday with meaning.
A Friday to live, to listen, to share.
