Bora Bora

With one of the most beautiful lagoons in the world, Bora Bora is the ultimate tropical island paradise, known for its white-sand beaches and luxury resorts.  

French Polynesia’s most exclusive destination, Bora Bora evokes images of crystal-clear turquoise water, palm trees swaying in the breeze, and soft, powdery beaches. Home to some of the world’s most luxurious resorts, our luxury Bora Bora holidays could see you staying in an overwater bungalow with your own private pool, or a secluded beach villa just steps away from the lagoon. One of the world’s best honeymoon destinations, speak to us about your Bora Bora honeymoon and enjoy experiences such as private beach dinners, romantic couples’ spa treatments, and private sunset cruises. 

Bora Bora’s remote location in the Pacific Ocean means that it has some of the best snorkelling and scuba diving in the world, its coral reefs home to a myriad of tropical fish, sea turtles, and dolphins. With most activities centred around the lagoon, you can experience watersports such as traditional outrigger canoeing, stand-up paddle boarding, yachting, and jet skiing. For the more adventurous, go hiking to the base of Mount Otemanu and discover the beautiful flora of the island, or take a jeep tour of the island.  

Discover the culture of Bora Bora and visit Vaitape, the largest settlement on the island, where you can explore local food markets and go shopping for black pearls before heading south and relaxing on the renowned Matira Beach. Immerse yourself in Polynesian traditions and learn some Tahitian phrases, how to open a coconut, and how to make a flower lei. With daily flights from Tahiti, combine your Bora Bora holiday with a visit to some of French Polynesia’s other islands, including Moorea and Tahaa.
