The Bora Bora island is one of the most popular islands in The Islands of Tahiti. One of nine islands within the Society Islands, Bora Bora was formed over seven million years ago by a volcano. Like most of the islands of French Polynesia, Bora Bora is surrounded by a ring of coral reef, also known as an atoll.
By far one of the top resorts in Bora Bora, the five-star Four Seasons Resort knows how to spoil its guests. The service at this luxuriant retreat is outstanding; smiling staff members appear from virtually every corner to tend to any need or request. Feeling hot? They’ll be by in a sec with ice water, fresh fruit, and chilled towels.
And then there’s the ambience: tranquil aquamarine water travels through a picturesque lagoon, enticing visitors to enjoy a dip, snorkel, or float. Amenities include a fitness and business center; badminton, tennis, and volleyball courts; catamarans; and use of snorkeling equipment, kayaks, and stand up paddleboards.
Connected by wooden walkways, the overwater bungalows are what you’d expect from a Four Seasons resort: plush, serene, and immaculate. In this case, they also offer spectacular lagoon and tropical jungle views. There are multiple opportunities for guests to stop and ogle the phenomenal landscape.
No luxury resort would be complete without a spa, and the Four Seasons doesn’t disappoint. Te Mahana Spa boasts traditional treatments rooted in ancient practices, all of which are designed to relax and invigorate. The tranquil setting makes it impossible to feel stressed, even if you choose only to take a dip in the outdoor vitality pool or enjoy a yoga class without having a treatment. That said, we highly recommend having a massage – you can watch fish swim below the treatment room as you lie face-down.
.….it’s no wonder why Bora Bora is a dream destination for many brides and grooms.

The Story
Tahiti has a long and rich history. The islands were first settled by migrating Polynesians as early as 500BC. They were later discovered by European explorers during the 16th century and eventually colonized by France. Now officially known as French Polynesia, Tahiti is an autonomous overseas country of the French Republic.
Tahitian Culture
Tahitians inherited a rich and vibrant culture from their ancient ancestors. Polynesian artistry—which includes weaving, woodcarving, and tattooing—is grounded in the mythology of that heritage. Each sacred tradition tells a colorful story about life, love, and their enduring relationship with nature.
People
Tahitians are the proud guardians of their cultural heritage and therefore represent the beauty of timeless tradition. They love to celebrate their customs through artwork, song, and dance. These warm, welcoming Polynesians possess an innocent and carefree spirit. Their philosophy, aita pea pea, meaning, “not to worry,” is truly the Tahitian way of life.
Textiles
Before the arrival of European missionaries, Polynesian clothing was traditionally made from tapa cloth, which consisted of dried pandanus leaves, coconut fibers, and breadfruit bark. The local women at that time wore one single garment, called a pareo, wrapped around their waist. Today, this colorful article of clothing, like a sarong, is made from two yards of dyed fabric and can be worn by both men and women in a variety of ways.
The missionaries not only introduced fabric to the islands, but also taught the local women the art of patchwork. Today, these matriarchs, affectionately known as Tahitian “mamas,” sew colorful quilts known as tifaifai. Each tapestry is unique, made from handmade floral appliqué designs meant to reflect their inherent love of nature. Now a treasured wedding gift, it is wrapped around the couple during a traditional Polynesian wedding ceremony.
Dance
Tahitian dance is the most authentic reflection of Polynesian culture. This extraordinary display of passion and vitality was once linked to all aspects of island life, including prayer, celebration, welcoming and storytelling. The signature tamure, or fast hip shaking motion, has become an unmistakable trademark of this captivating art form, matched only by the resounding rhythms of the Tahitian drums.
Cuisine
Across the boulevard from Le Marché is the waterfront promenade, Vai’ete Square, where the famous food trucks known as Les Roulottes open nightly to serve a range of affordable meals. Snacks include Chinese food, French crepes, steak sandwiches, pommes frites, fresh fish, and pizza. The food and atmosphere are both excellent.
The signature dish in Tahiti is poisson cru, or raw fish. The flavor defines the essence of the destination—sweet, tender, refreshing, and exotic. It consists of raw tuna marinated in lime juice and mixed with a delicious blend of diced vegetables and coconut milk.
