Destination of the Month

Bora Bora's turquoise lagoon and Mount Otemanu

Bora Bora

Bora Bora is famous for the luminous lagoon wrapped around Mount Otemanu. Overwater bungalows made the island a symbol of romantic travel, but the water is the real star: snorkel with rays, drift over coral gardens or watch the mountain change color from a quiet motu.
