Surrounded by pristine, crystal blue waters, Bora Bora has been voted the number one destination for honeymooners. World-renowned for its white sandy beaches and stunning turquoise lagoon, the French Polynesian island caters to romance and more.
Why Honeymoon Here
A brief flight from the islands of Tahiti, Bora Bora has a lagoon resembling an artist’s palette of bright blues and greens, causing guests to fall in love at first sight. Romantics come from around the world to marvel at the lush tropical slopes and valleys, with Mount Otemanu standing proud in the background.
The sandy white beaches serve as a playground for tropical colourful fish, which animate the coral gardens as giant manta rays glide past. Easily a contender for the most beautiful island in the world, Bora Bora is the centre of the romantic universe.
What to Do
Bursting with diverse marine life, there is no limit to the underwater activities. Enjoy neon-lit lagoon waters with unending days of exploration through snorkelling and diving. At the right time of year, you can swim with humpback whales and dolphins, as well as other species that may wander by, including pilot whales, rough toothed dolphins, and many species of shark and rays.
Above the water, don’t miss out on exploring the panorama by hiking or with a 4×4 accompanied by local guides. Bora Bora is also known for world-renowned local and international art, Tahitian pearls and precious wood handicrafts. For lovers, enjoy a relaxing couple massage at one of the signature Polynesian spas.
