Bora Bora, The Romantic IslandUnder a one hour flight from the island of Tahiti or Moorea, the island of Bora Bora, with a lagoon resembling an artist's palette of blues and greens, is love at first sight.
Romantics from around the world
have laid claim to this island where the castle-like
Mount Otemanu pierces the sky. Lush tropical slopes
and valleys blossom with hibiscus, while palm-covered
motu circle the illuminated lagoon like a delicate necklace.
Perfect white-sand beaches give way to emerald
waters where colored fish animate the
coral gardens as they greet the giant manta rays. This could be easily be described as the center of the romantic universe, where luxury resorts and spas dot the island with overwater bungalows, thatchedroof villas, and fabled ambience.
Simply said, Bora Bora is
the most beautiful island in the world.

Pora Pora
The ancient name, meaning "first
born," came from legends
describing this as the first island to rise
when Taaroa,
the supreme god, fished it out of the waters
after the mythical creation of Havai'i, now known as Raiatea. Although the first leeter "B" does not exist in the Tahitian language, when Capitain Cook first heard the name he mistook the softened sound of the Tahitian "P" for "B" and called the island Bola Bola.
