Why go to Bora Bora and when?
Immerse yourself in the island’s atmosphere of tranquility and serenity. Bora Bora invites you to relax and disconnect from the outside world in a naturally soothing setting.
For its spectacular scenery
Discover pure beauty in Bora Bora’s breathtaking landscapes. From crystal-clear lagoons surrounded by heavenly motus to the majestic peaks of Mount Otemanu and Mount Pahia, every corner of the island offers stunning views.
For the Tahitian spirit and welcome
The Polynesian way of life is marked by friendly, respectful greetings such as “Ia ora” or “Ia ora na”, expressing hopes for good health and longevity.
The concept of “manava” and “maeva” goes even further, symbolizing the opening of the heart and home to the guest. When a Polynesian greets you by saying “manava”, he’s sharing more than just his physical space, he’s opening his heart and his emotions, making every encounter a warm and enriching experience.
For its gastronomy
Savor exquisite cuisine infused with the exotic flavors of Polynesia. From fresh fish expertly prepared in coconut milk to raw fish ceviche, every bite is an explosion of culinary delights.
For culture and history
During your stay in Bora Bora (Pōpora) explore traditions, legends and learn about local crafts. Meet the warm and simple inhabitants, and discover the very soul (Mana) of this enchanting island.
The “First Born” of French Polynesia’s Leeward Islands has a rich and fascinating history. Originally called Vavau, it was renamed by British explorer James Cook during his visit in 1777. The island has been inhabited for centuries by Polynesians, who have left behind a deep cultural and historical heritage. Through the Second World War, Bora Bora was used as a military base by American forces, leaving vestiges of this period.
Today, Bora Bora is a dream destination prized for its paradisiacal landscapes, crystal-clear waters and luxury accommodation on stilts, attracting travelers from all over the world in search of escape and relaxation.
Best times to visit Bora Bora
If you’re looking for sunny days and clear skies, opt for a getaway between July and October, the sunniest months of the year.
For total immersion in local culture during religious festivities, November to May is ideal, despite occasional showers.
