Why Bora Bora

HAND-VETTED RESORTS
The Island the South Pacific Is Measured Against
Bora Bora is the island the whole South Pacific is measured against — a ring of islets around a lagoon of impossible blues, with the jagged peak of Mount Otemanu rising at its heart. This is the home of the overwater villa, where you step from your deck straight into warm, clear water, and where honeymooners have come to mark the occasion for generations.
At HighStreet Holidays we don't simply book Bora Bora — we choose the right resort and lagoon position for you, and arrange every transfer from Papeete across the water.
With access to a carefully vetted portfolio of the island's finest overwater retreats, we build a Bora Bora that lives up to a reputation few places on earth could carry.
There's a reason Bora Bora tops every honeymoon list ever written. The first time the lagoon comes into view from the plane, you understand it completely.
Signature Experiences
Moments That Linger
Bora Bora is a single, perfect lagoon to be savoured. These are the experiences our clients come home remembering.
The Overwater Villa
Stepping from your private deck straight into the lagoon, breakfast arriving by canoe, the water glowing turquoise beneath the floor — the experience Bora Bora invented.
The Lagoon
A lagoon tour by boat to snorkel with rays and reef sharks, drift over coral gardens and picnic on a sandbar — the warm, clear heart of the island.
Mount Otemanu
The dramatic volcanic peak at the island's centre — backdrop to every photograph, and explored on a 4x4 safari or a helicopter flight over the lagoon.
Sunset Cruises
A catamaran out onto the lagoon as the light turns gold and pink behind Otemanu — the most romantic hour on the most romantic island.
Spa & Wellness
Overwater spa pavilions and Polynesian treatments using monoi and vanilla — pure indulgence above the lagoon, a highlight of any honeymoon.
Private Dining
A dinner for two on a private motu, your feet in the sand and the lagoon all around — the kind of evening that defines a special-occasion trip.

Best Time to Visit
When to Go
DRY SEASON
May to October
The cooler, drier Polynesian winter — sunny, less humid, with the calmest lagoons. The best and most popular window for overwater villas and diving; book well ahead.
SHOULDER
May & October-November
Dry-season conditions with fewer visitors and better value — a lovely time to catch the island a little quieter.
WET SEASON
November to April
Hotter and more humid, with heavier showers and a small cyclone risk. Lush, quiet and cheaper, with plenty of sun still between the rain.
YEAR-ROUND WARMTH
Every month
The lagoon stays warm (around 26-29C) all year, so swimming is wonderful in every month — the dry season simply brings the most reliable sunshine.

A 7-Night Bora Bora Escape
Every itinerary we create is bespoke — this is simply one way a perfect escape unfolds.

2
DAY 2 — THE LAGOON
Arrival in Bora Bora
A short, scenic flight to Bora Bora, then a boat transfer across the lagoon to your overwater villa — and the first jaw-dropping view of Otemanu.
3
DAYS 3-5 — THE WATER
Lagoon & Island
A lagoon tour with rays and reef sharks, a 4x4 island safari, snorkelling from your deck and a sunset cruise — the lagoon in all its moods.
4
DAY 6 — AT LEISURE
Pure Relaxation
A day with nothing to do but enjoy it — the overwater spa, a paddleboard at dawn, or simply the view from your deck.
5
DAY 7 — DEPARTURE
Homeward
A final morning over the lagoon before your flight back via Papeete — or onward to another island on a wider Polynesian journey.
