The Most Romantic Island !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 The Most Romantic Island !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lush tropical slopes and valleys blossom with hibiscus, while palm-covered motu circle the lagoon like a delicate necklace. Perfect white-sand beaches give way to emerald waters where impossibly colored fish animate the coral gardens. So much has been written about Bora Bora, and yet it is hard to find the right words to describe the magic that emanates from this island.

Bora Bora is an island in the Leeward group of the Society Islands of French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France in the Pacific Ocean. The island, located about 230 kilometres (140 mi) northwest of Papeete, is surrounded by a lagoon and a barrier reef. In the center of the island are the remnants of an extinct volcano rising to two peaks, Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu, the highest point at 727 metres (2,385 ft). 

The original name of the island in the Tahitian language might be better rendered as Pora Pora, meaning "First Born" an early transcription found in 18th- and 19th century accounts, is Bolabolla or "Bollabolla".
