    Some of the most glamorous resorts in the Pacific have nestled their romantic villas and over water bungalows along the pristine Bora Bora beaches, bringing luxury to paradise. This year Condé Nast awards Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort and spa, which is in a lush tropical garden setting, as number 5. The elegant Four Seasons Bora Bora has been honored as number 2 on the list below. It is interesting that these 2 hotels position themselves in distinctly different price categories. See more about these fantasy accommodations on our Bora Bora resorts page.

    At Bora Bora Island guide we have difficulty naming the best Bora Bora resorts.

    The World's Best Small Airlines

    This year the Condé Nast Traveler's Reader's Choice awards introduced a new category, 'The World's Best Small Airlines'. The services of the French Polynesian international carrier, Air Tahiti Nui, were recognized with 3rd place. Want to know where Air Tahiti Nui flies from? See our Tahiti Airfare information.

    We would like to suggest that Condé Nast awards Bora Bora flights, with the mighty little inter-island carrier, Air Tahiti, as the most scenic on the planet.
