Overview

Bora Bora is the iconic South Pacific island -- famous for overwater bungalows, crystalline lagoons, and dramatic volcanic peaks. The lagoon is so clear you can see fish from the surface, and the surrounding coral reefs offer world-class diving.

For points travelers, Bora Bora is one of the highest-cpp destinations available. Conrad Bora Bora Nui (Hilton) offers exceptional 2.2 cpp, while St. Regis (Marriott) delivers luxury at 2.5 cpp. These overwater villa bookings are increasingly difficult to secure, especially during peak May-Oct season.

The island itself is small and easily explored by rental boat or tour. Plan your vacation around sunset on the lagoon and sunrise snorkeling with tropical fish. This is a honeymoon paradise and one of the most bucket-list destinations for luxury travel.
