Lovers can then attach their lock to the palm tree with their chosen symbol and throw away the keys in the garden’s Tiki, which symbolizes the protection of love forever. Guests are encouraged to bring their own customized lock. Locks are also available for purchase in the resort’s boutique.  Traditional Tahitian wedding ceremonies are also available on the resort’s private beach and in its unique, glass-floored overwater chapel with views of the lagoon.
