Bora Bora
Mountain-backed lagoons, overwater villas, and one of the Pacific's most recognisable silhouettes.

Iconic, and still worth it
Bora Bora remains enduringly compelling because the setting is as strong as the legend suggests. The lagoon, the mountain, the villas, and the pace of life on the water all combine to create a stay that feels immediately removed from everything else. Done properly, it is romantic, serene, and highly polished.
