Independent review for Bora Private Island in French Polynesia

Bora Private Island Tahiti showing picture of beach in French Polynesia

Private Island is a delightful retreat away from the commercial developments of Bora Bora. Set on a small private island on the quiet north side of the lagoon, enjoy a down-to-earth holiday in a hand-crafted private house sharing the island with your hosts who live in their own house at the other end of the small island. Your hosts will take you on complimentary shopping excursions to Vaitape three times a week to stock up. Otherwise, enjoy the absolute solitude of this unspoiled private island.
