25 Socially Distant Views of Bora Bora

Bora Bora is the stuff of vacation lore. Crystal clear turquoise lagoons, lurid sunset, and the craggy profile of Mount Otemanu conspire to spoil visitors with brochure views at every turn. It's all underpinned by the curious paradoxes of French Polynesia: sophisticated Gallic cuisine served up with Polynesian warmth; peaceful mountainsides haunted by the fossils of combat gunnery; armfuls of baguettes costing mere pennies reflecting in shop windows containing Tahitian Pearls with price tags approaching the price of a luxury car—it's all to be found here.

French Polynesia is open to international visitors. Read on to discover the best socially distant views from this cozily distant corner of the Pacific.
