Introduction to Bora Bora

Bora Bora is a volcanic island and part of the Society Islands archipelago of French Polynesia, so you come far there with French language. An unadulterated paradise, Bora Bora is laced with white cotton-wool soft beaches and clear, aquamarine waters that gently lap the sandy shores. Beautiful green hills rise up above the island, along with little white villas and luxury hotels peeking out from the green leaves. Over-water thatched roof bungalows hover over the blue sea. Ranked as one of the most beautiful places in the world and one of the best honeymoon destinations, Bora Bora’s scenery is certainly spectacular but as well as magical beaches, Bora Bora offers visitors a taste of local life through its art galleries, local crafts, open air markets and traditional songs and dances as well as luxury boutiques and fine dining restaurants all over the island.
