Conrad Bora Bora Nui

Just six miles long and two miles wide, Bora Bora is a tiny speck in the South Pacific. Part of French Polynesia’s Leeward Islands, this magical land of wondrous white sands, lush vegetation and a glittering blue-green lagoon is nothing short of spectacular. Dominated by the imposing Mount Otemanu, the island — and its surrounding collection of islets — has captured a very special place in the collective imagination. The island’s hotels, too, are dazzling. Our Gurus have highlighted four fabulous resorts in Bora Bora, brilliant for marvellous honeymoons or family holidays. Expect spacious overwater villas or contemporary suites with private plunge pools and sunset views. There are opportunities to swim and snorkel in the lagoon, or kayak, paddle board and sail. French Polynesian culture is famously warm and welcoming — we’ve no doubt that you’ll find yourself planning a return trip before too long!
