Why you'll love it
Bora Bora is an island in French Polynesia, ringed by a turquoise lagoon and famous for its overwater bungalows. It gets Triptakeo's top score for beaches, luxury, romance and nature, and scores 9 out of 10 for wellness and safety.
The best time to visit Bora Bora is May to October, the drier season, with sunny days and lower humidity. June to August is the busiest time. November to April is warmer and wetter, with short, heavy showers, and quieter resorts.
Snorkel with rays and reef sharks in the lagoon, take a boat out to the motus, and hike towards Mount Otemanu. Most days are for swimming, the spa and dinners over the water. Flights from Australia go via Auckland to Papeete on Tahiti, then a 50-minute flight to Bora Bora; that last flight isn't included in our estimate.
Bora Bora suits honeymooners and couples planning a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
