Known as the most romantic island in the world, Bora Bora is surrounded by an inspiring lagoon, resembling an artist’s palette of blues and greens. For most visitors to Bora Bora, it’s love at first sight!

Lush, tropical mountain slopes and valleys blossom with hibiscus, and palm-covered islets circle the illuminated lagoon like a delicate necklace. Perfect white-sand beaches give way to emerald waters, where colorful fish animate the coral gardens. The ambiance couldn’t be more romantic, especially within luxury resorts such as the Conrad Bora Bora Nui.

Día 1

After disembarking the ship, you will tender ashore and transfer to the Conrad Bora Bora Nui. The resort is located on the southwest end of Motu (meaning islet) To’opua. Soaring Mount Otemanu becomes the backdrop to the hotel when approached from the water. The rooms and villas enjoy views of the lagoon and an endless blue horizon - a setting that exudes romance. Following check in at 3:00pm, the remainder of the day is yours to enjoy as you please.

Relax on the terrace of your overwater bungalow, admiring the views of the surrounding lagoon and mountain peaks. Indulge in the services at the spa. Stroll the idyllic beach, pausing every so often in the shade of a swaying palm. Take an invigorating dip in the infinity swimming pool or if you are feeling ambitious, enjoy water sports such as an outrigger canoe ride or snorkeling in the sea’s crystal-clear waters. This is your time in paradise with no schedule to follow other than your own.

In the evening, as the resort becomes illuminated with soft lighting, the atmosphere becomes even more romantic and memorable. The ambiance is ideal for dinner which is included at the resort. Afterwards, feel free to stroll about the resort before retiring in your thatched-roof bungalow that’s perched over the water.

Día 2

Wake up to another day in paradise. Enjoy a buffet breakfast in the resort restaurant and some time at leisure before checking out and being transferred by boat launch back to the ship’s tender pier.
