A Bora Bora honeymoon
The lagoon that set the standard. Once in a lifetime, and it should feel like it.
Once in a lifetime, and it should feel like it
The lagoon that set the standard.
A drowned volcano ringed by a barrier reef, with Mount Otemanu at the centre and a lagoon that changes colour every hundred metres. The resorts sit out on the motus, so every one looks back at the mountain. The overwater bungalow was born in French Polynesia, and the versions here remain the reference. It is a long way from almost anywhere — which is part of what you are buying.
