2. Bora Bora
• For many people, the name Bora Bora brings thoughts of jumping
off life’s treadmill and moving to an island paradise. In fact, the
romantic and the world-weary have sought out this magical island
for decades. Bora Bora is entirely surrounded by a world-famous
lagoon, colored a light shade of blue so striking that it resembles
something outside of nature. The lagoon's overwater bungalows
give the expression 'close to nature' literal meaning, as guests can
almost literally roll out of bed into a refreshing swim or any other
watersport. All this is situated under the watchful eyes of Mt.
Pahia and Mt. Otemanu – two green peaks that rise like exotic
island gods, just waiting to be hiked and explored.
