Stepping into paradise 🏖️😍

BORA Bora popularised the concept of overwater villas, the perfect magic of sleeping over the beautiful waters of the Pacific with the waves gently crashing on your deck. What better place for your honeymoon? And that’s practically the only type of traveller who makes it all the way there. The local tourism board confirms that 90 per cent of the visitors to Bora Bora — which is located less than an hour’s flight from Tahiti in French Polynesia — came for their honeymoon. Romance is in the air, on the tables set for two, the photography packages, the sunset dinners by the water and the dreams come true.
The lagoon island has also managed to build up expectations. Very high ones. In the same way as other unapologetically romantic destinations exclusive to those celebrating a once in a lifetime moment, the word Bora Bora eludes to endless sunsets, tropical cocktails, warm waters and love. And of course, an unlimited supply of luxury, plain old school luxury. Like any other passionate explorer and devourer of travel magazines it felt like I’d been waiting for my trip to Bora Bora ever since I first caught a glimpse of its lagoon. At times, I feared that having read and seen so much of it on glossy pages would make the whole experience feel like I’d already been there, if only in my dreams.
