TAHITI & BORA BORA
Nothing says ‘ honeymoon ’ quite like an overwater bungalow . Which is why we ’ re kicking off our list of dreamy honeymoon escapes with Tahiti : home of the original overwater bungalow and some of the most iconic screensaver scenery around . The 100 + islands and atolls of Tahiti are pure South Pacific vibes , with fabulous lagoons and powdery beaches beckoning couples to dive in and bliss out . From private island picnics to snorkelling hand-in-hand , it ’ s paradise for nature-lovers and hedonists alike . For the quintessential experience , see the vibrant main island of Tahiti ( home to the capital Papeete , cafes , restaurants , and plenty of luxe accommodation ) and the fabled honeymoon isle of Bora Bora . An hour ’ s flight north of Tahiti , Bora Bora is beloved for its otherworldly seascapes , ultra-luxe villas , and secluded locale — just the spot to leave the world ( and wedding stress ) far , far behind .
