Romantic Escapes From Bora Bora or Moorea
Instead of spending the night aboard the ship, you can experience the dramatic splendor of Bora Bora or Moorea from an overwater villa at one of these islands’ most luxurious hotels. Exotic local materials such as bamboo, pandanus, and tapa cloth have been used to create an authentic Polynesian-style bungalow that appears to “float” in the haze above the sparkling blue lagoon, and you can admire the colorful underwater life of the lagoon through glass tabletops right in your room. Includes a romantic candlelit dinner for two with a bottle of Champagne and a canoe breakfast for two delivered to your bungalow.
