Why Bora Bora for a Anniversary Escape trip
For an anniversary, combine Bora Bora's natural beauty with a sense of occasion. Book a premium overwater villa or beachfront suite, and arrange a private dinner set up on a sandbank in the lagoon, with flowers and Polynesian music. Spend a day on a 4x4 tour up the main island's ridges for views over the lagoon, take a sunset cruise past Mount Otemanu and enjoy couples' treatments together in a spa set above the water.
Bora Bora is the definitive overwater bungalow destination, a volcanic island ringed by a vivid turquoise lagoon and a necklace of motus, with Mount Otemanu rising above it all. Luxury here is about privacy, water and silence: villas with glass floor panels, private decks, plunge pools and direct lagoon access, with service delivered by outrigger canoe.
When to go: May through October is the dry season, with lower humidity, steady trade winds and pleasant temperatures. November through April is warmer and wetter, with occasional heavy rain, but the lagoon stays inviting year-round.
