Bora Bora, Tahiti

Bora Bora is the ideal destination of South Pacific paradise. This lush and stunningly picturesque French Polynesian island rises to a sharp emerald peak surrounded by an azure lagoon. Luxury bungalows perch above the crystal-clear waves, some with glass floor panels so you can see into the vibrant sea below, while coconut trees sway along the beaches.

While Bora Bora is known for its natural beauty, it also has a deep cultural attraction. The national language is French, and gourmet food has a strong Gallic influence. The island of Bora Bora will make you fall in love at first sight. Romantics from all over the world love Bora Bora's lush, tropical vegetation circling the perimeter of the island and the valleys of Mount Otemanu blossoming with hibiscus, with ocean views of turquoise seas like an artist's palette of vibrant blues and greens. With a plethora of exciting water activities, kayak journeys to tiny motu (islands), scenic hiking trails, and shark dives, it's easy to understand why many people consider costly Bora Bora to be a top honeymoon destination. It's the ultimate, once-in-a-lifetime tropical vacation, as well as one of the greatest tropical vacations for couples.
