Bora Bora

Unless noted, all photos are from the Four Seasons.

It's been one of those weeks, so I thought a get-away to a tropical island would be in order. I (virtually) landed on Bora Bora, an island in the Leeward Group of the Society Islands of French Polynesia. (Dave Barry would no doubt translate Polynesia as "many nesias"). Bora Bora is located near Tahiti, roughly half way between Los Angeles and Sydney.

The ScheckTrek Pick for Bora Bora is the Four Seasons. Certainly there are other wonderful resorts to choose from, but I think these photos of the resort -- the setting and the thoughtfulness that went into the design -- will speak for themselves.

And there's not really a lot more to say!

Not that you can tell very well from the photo, but at the end of the infinity pool is an over-water trampoline/bungee-bed thingy.

 

One Trip Advisor reviewer pretty much summed it up with, “Whatever you have to do, get here before you die.”
