My 25th wedding anniversary was approaching and I wanted to take my wife somewhere romantic. It didn’t take much research to discover that Bora Bora fit that description. I booked an overwater bungalow that allowed us to feed the fish from the floor of the living room, paddle a canoe to breakfast, or just laze on the deck above the cerulean waters. A week on this beautiful atoll brought back all of the romance that sparked our relationship 25 years ago.The high cost and the 8-hour flight to Papeete from LAX were well worth it. There isn’t a lot to do on the island, which is the point really. However, to enhance the romance, you will want to spoil her with a black pearl that was pulled from the sea on a nearby island and wine and dine her at La Villa Mahana, a lovely little restaurant that only has 6 tables and is one of the best meals you’ll ever eat. I can also personally recommend the Conrad Bora Bora Nui Resort, an excellent places to stay for your visit to Bora Bora. Truly a once in a lifetime romantic trip!
