If you’ve ever dreamed of turquoise lagoons, overwater bungalows, and that feeling of total island bliss, I can tell you—there’s nothing quite like a Bora Bora vacation. From the moment you arrive, it really does feel like paradise. I couldn’t stop smiling the entire time.
My Favorite Highlights:
- I stayed in an iconic overwater bungalow with glass floors—I loved watching the fish swim beneath me while enjoying mountain views.
- You should snorkel in the crystal-clear Bora Bora Lagoon. I swam with rays and colorful tropical fish, and it was unforgettable.
- I treated myself to a couples’ massage at a spa facing Mount Otemanu. If you’re traveling with someone special, you’ll love the serenity.
- Exploring the island by boat was a highlight for me. Whether it’s a jet ski adventure or a private catamaran cruise, I think you’ll have a blast.
- You’ll want to dine under the stars with your feet in the sand. I found a beachside restaurant that made the whole evening feel magical.
