Bora Bora is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful islands in the world. The island lies just northwest of Tahiti, less than an hour away by plane from Papeete. The island is dominated by Mount Otemanu, a 727-meter (2,385-foot) tall peak that rises from the center of the island. The island is also surrounded by a coral reef that encloses a turquoise lagoon. One of the favoured locations world-wide for over-water bungalow accommodation allowing a quite literally immersive relaxation in luxurious surroundings.
