Seeking the ultimate romantic escape to paradise? Tahiti’s most famous island, Bora Bora is one of the world’s most dramatically beautiful; enclosed within turquoise lagoon waters of the utmost limpidity.
Bora Bora is a major international tourist destination, famous for its aqua-centric luxury resorts. The major settlement, Vaitape, is on the western side of the main island, opposite the main channel into the lagoon. Produce of the island is mostly limited to what can be obtained from the sea and the plentiful coconut trees, which were historically of economic importance for copra.
