Bora Bora rises dramatically from a lagoon enclosed by coral reef and small motu. Mount Otemanu dominates the centre of the island, giving the destination a powerful landscape identity beyond its famous overwater villas.
Lagoon life
Private boats, snorkelling and diving reveal coral gardens, rays and tropical fish, while the calm lagoon is ideal for paddleboarding and kayaking. The water is not simply scenery but the focus of most days.
Making Bora Bora personal
The island is highly developed for luxury travel, so choosing the right resort and experiences is important. Private excursions and time away from the busiest lagoon stops can preserve a sense of exclusivity.
