It is with great pleasure that we announce that Anakena - Natural Cosmetics official sponsor of the Tapati Rapa Nui 2025 is! This dream, which has been with us for years, is finally becoming reality!
The Tapati Rapa Nui is much more than a festival - it is the beating heart of Easter Island, a living tribute to the rich history and culture of the Rapanui people. From the February 1 to 14, 2025 the Tapati Festival invites you to two unforgettable weeks of music, dance, sport and art celebrating the traditions and irrepressible spirit of this unique island.
Two impressive women are competing in this year's edition, Pua Tucki Hey and Mahatu De Reycke Atanfor the title of Tapati Queen. With their charisma and passion, they embody the strength and deep sense of unity that characterizes the Rapa Nui community. Their preparations are already in full swing - full of passion and energy that bring the magic of this special event to life.
A living heritage
Tapati Rapa Nui is a deeply rooted celebration of the identity and pride of the Rapa Nui community. Since the 1970s, it has developed into one of Polynesia's most important cultural events. The festival attracts people from all over the world who want to experience the authentic beauty of Easter Island and its living cultural heritage.
During the festival, the island becomes a stage on which clans and families compete against each other in exciting competitions - from traditional sports to artistic performances. One of the highlights is the spectacular Tau'a Rapa Nuia triathlon in the impressive crater of the volcano Rano Raraku.
The evenings are enchanting with traditional dances and musical performances. Competitions such as the Takonawhere bodies are painted with natural pigments, or the Kai Kaian art of telling the legends and myths of Rapa Nui. They preserve the soul of this living culture and pass it on to the younger generations.
Our connection to Rapa Nui
For us at Anakena - Natural Cosmetics participating in this special festival is more than just a sponsorship - it is a matter close to our hearts. Before 10 years our brand was born on Easter Island. Inspired by the unique nature and culture of Rapa Nui, we started making handmade soaps from indigenous flowers and herbs.
Today, our products are not only available on Easter Island and in Chile, but also in Europe. But our roots remain firmly anchored on Easter Island - a place that inspires and drives us every day. Every Anakena product carries a piece of this magic. Using natural ingredients and sustainable methods, we want to preserve the beauty and spirit of Rapa Nui - for ourselves and for all those who wish to discover it.
