Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, Tahiti

There is a reason why writer James A. Michener declared this as the most beautiful island in the world. Inspired by local architecture, Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora idles on a private motu with volcanic Mount Otemanu in the background and a bounty of textbook cerulean waters in the fore. With nine different upscale bungalows and suites to call home, each one, in excess of 100 sq metres, is decked out with luxe details like L’Occitane bath treats, down pillows and thread counts in the high hundreds, you’ll be wishing it truly were your home
