Imagine stepping off a small propeller plane onto a tiny island airstrip, where the air smells of salt and frangipani, and the first thing you see is a turquoise lagoon so vibrant it looks almost unreal. This is Bora Bora, the crown jewel of French Polynesia and one of the most exotic destinations on Earth. Often called the “Pearl of the Pacific,” this small island in the South Pacific enchants travelers with its dramatic volcanic peaks rising straight from crystal-clear waters, fringed by powdery white-sand beaches and encircled by a protective coral reef.
