Bora Bora Vacation Rentals

Book a Bora Bora vacation home to experience the best of the South Seas. This French Polynesian island has been immortalized in movies and books for its idyllic island vibe. Whether you opt for a traditional thatched bungalow or a modern villa, you’re sure to enjoy breathtaking sea views and romantic luxury.

Bora Bora's Cuisine: Fresh and Diverse

Bora Bora’s cuisine has been shaped by the many foreigners who came here over the years. French, Japanese and Italian flavours infuse the local fare, and food is commonly cooked in traditional underground ovens.

Poisson cru, nicknamed ‘fish of the gods’, is a local favourite consisting of lime and coconut-marinated tuna. Other delicacies include lamb wrapped in banana leaves, and po’e, a banana puree baked with coconut milk and sugar.

Shark Spotting and Whale Watching

See Bora Bora by land and sea; it’s easy to book sightseeing tours on the island. Take a trip around the coast for stunning sea vistas, or go snorkelling in the shallows. Sharks and stingrays swim in the lagoon, but for whale watching it’s best to witness these magnificent creatures with a guided boat trip.

Rent a private boat or opt for a glass-bottomed boat tour. For you more active vacationers, go parasailing, jet-skiing or quad biking on the island. Finish off with relaxing at the spa.

Bora Bora Events: Sports and Traditional Culture

Each December, the Bora Bora Liquid Festival sees athletes competing in canoe races and other water sport events on the beach. The Tahiti Pearl Regatta takes place in May, when the South Seas come to life with boats racing between Bora Bora, Huahine, and Taha’a.

Heiva i Bora Bora takes place each summer. Expect a week of colourful Polynesian costumes, local musicians, crafts, and sports. Other events include the Polynesia Tatau Tattoo Convention and Pareu Day, a celebration of the Polynesian sarong.
