Travel Kuoni

Idyllic, mystical and effortlessly enchanting — picture-perfect Bora Bora is the typical paradise island.

After a scenic propeller plane flight over the water from Tahiti, you’ll be stepping foot onto fabled Bora Bora. A stay on the 'Jewel of the South Seas' is the stuff of dreams — it’s one of the most romantic places on Earth, home to a rugged green island interior fringed by a rich blue lagoon and a ring of surrounding motus. Breathtaking views over a pair of extinct volcanoes at its centre and blissfully secluded overwater villas make this perfect honeymoon territory. Swim, snorkel and dive in shallow crystalline waters, or just stroll along strips of pristine white sand. We’ve been to French Polynesia and can help you craft the perfect Bora Bora holiday — speak to one of our experts today.
