A private, romantic reading of Bora Bora — designed entirely for two. A private, tailored journey of 7-9 days in Bora Bora & French Polynesia, designed end to end by a Forest Travel advisor — with Virtuoso privileges at the finest luxury hotels, from US$5,000 for two.
Few places on earth pair a caldera peak, a ring of coral motus and a lagoon this luminous, all arranged for private, unhurried days.
When to go
May through October brings the dry, cooler season, when the lagoon turns its clearest turquoise and skies stay reliably open. Your advisor times it to the light, the crowds and your own calendar.
The experiences
A sense of what this journey can hold — each one arranged privately and shaped to you:
- A private sunset cruise across the lagoon, with a chilled table set for two on deck.
- A secluded picnic on your own coral motu, arranged and staffed entirely out of sight.
- A couples spa ritual in an overwater pavilion, timed to the light on Mount Otemanu.
- A dawn swim from your villa steps into the lagoon before anyone else is stirring.
A sense of the rhythm
These are days built around the two of you and very little else. Mornings open slowly from an overwater villa, afternoons drift between the lagoon and the shade of the deck, and evenings are yours to choose. Nothing is scheduled that you have not asked for.
How to do it well
The counsel our advisors give travelers planning this journey:
- Request a villa on the sunset side of the lagoon for the finest evening light.
- Let us hold your arrival flight loosely so you land rested rather than rushed.
- Reserve the private motu picnic early; the best days book well ahead in high season.
- Keep one full day entirely unplanned, and tell us the night before what it should hold.
What only your advisor can open
The difference between a good trip and an unrepeatable one is access — and access is a relationship, not a booking. Every guide, room and moment is chosen and sequenced for you.
Who it's for
Travelers who value privacy, time and doing it once — beautifully — and who would rather have one trusted advisor orchestrate every detail than assemble it themselves.
Estimated investment
From US$5,000 for two — scaled to your dates, party size and level of privacy. A starting point, not a final quote; confirmed once your advisor tailors the itinerary.
Designed entirely around you
Nothing here is a package. A Forest Travel advisor shapes the whole journey and stays one message away before and throughout your trip.

As a Virtuoso member, Forest Travel includes benefits reserved for Virtuoso guests at the finest luxury hotels, at no added cost: a room upgrade on arrival when available, daily breakfast for two, a property credit toward dining or spa, and early check-in with late check-out when the hotel allows.

Questions, answered.
Bora Bora gives you the iconic lagoon, the overwater villa and Mount Otemanu framed from your terrace. Tetiaroa trades that silhouette for near-total seclusion on a private atoll. Many couples give themselves both, beginning in Bora Bora and closing somewhere quieter.
Ask for a villa on the sunset side of the lagoon. That is the counsel our advisors give for the finest evening light. It also suits the rhythm of the journey: mornings open slowly from the villa, afternoons drift between the lagoon and the shade of the deck, and from your terrace Bora Bora can frame Mount Otemanu. A dawn swim straight from your villa steps, before anyone else is stirring, is part of the appeal.
Reserve it early. The best days book well ahead in high season, so it is worth securing as soon as your dates are set. The picnic is held on your own coral motu, one of the islets that ring the lagoon, and it is arranged and staffed entirely out of sight, so the two of you have the place to yourselves. Your advisor can place it within your days so it sits naturally among the rest.
You will have a great deal of free time. These days are built around the two of you and very little else, and nothing is scheduled that you have not asked for. Mornings start slowly, afternoons move between the lagoon and the deck, and evenings are yours to choose. Our advisors also suggest keeping one full day entirely unplanned and telling us the night before what it should hold.
Plan on 7-9 days. That is enough time for the journey to unfold without rushing. Mornings open slowly from an overwater villa, afternoons drift between the lagoon and the shade of the deck, and evenings are yours. Across those days there is room for a private sunset cruise, a secluded picnic on your own coral motu, a couples spa ritual timed to the light on Mount Otemanu and a dawn swim from your villa steps. Your advisor holds your arrival flight loosely so you land rested, and keeps one full day entirely unplanned.
As a private, tailored journey it starts from roughly US$5,000 for two and scales with your dates, party and level of privacy — a starting point, never a fixed package price. Your advisor confirms the figure once the itinerary is tailored.
May through October is the best time. This is the dry, cooler season, when the lagoon turns its clearest turquoise and the skies stay reliably open. Those conditions suit this honeymoon well: a sunset cruise with a table set for two on deck, a dawn swim from your villa steps and a picnic on your own coral motu. Your advisor times the trip to the light, the crowds and your own calendar.
On a Bora Bora honeymoon, the couples spa ritual takes place in an overwater pavilion and is timed to the light on Mount Otemanu. Like every experience on this journey, it is arranged privately and shaped to the two of you. Nothing is scheduled that you have not asked for, so the ritual can settle into an unhurried afternoon, drifting between the lagoon and the shade of the deck.
A private sunset cruise on Bora Bora crosses the lagoon with a chilled table set for two on deck, arranged privately and shaped to you. It fits the rhythm of this honeymoon, where evenings are yours to choose. In the dry, cooler season from May through October, the lagoon turns its clearest turquoise and skies stay reliably open, which suits an evening spent on the water.
For a Bora Bora honeymoon, Forest Travel advisors suggest letting them hold your arrival flight loosely so you land rested rather than rushed. The whole journey is built around unhurried days for two: mornings open slowly from an overwater villa, afternoons drift between the lagoon and the shade of the deck, and evenings are yours. Arriving rested lets that slower pace begin from the first day.
Bora Bora pairs a caldera peak, a ring of coral motus and a lagoon of rare luminosity, and few places on earth bring all of these together. On this honeymoon they are arranged for private, unhurried days: Mount Otemanu framed from your terrace, a picnic on your own coral motu and a dawn swim from your villa steps into the lagoon before anyone else is stirring.
