Key island of French Polynesia (6)

I believe the answer is:

tahiti

(Other definitions for tahiti that I've seen before include "Polynesian island, chief town Papeete" , "Gauguin's Pacific isle" , "South Seas island, capital Papeete" , "Main island of French Polynesia" , "South Pacific island, associated with Robert Louis Stevenson" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
