Bora Bora Yacht Club

Bora Bora


Yes, the food is pretty good, but the real draw here is the stunning wooden deck overlooking the lagoon – very romantic at sunset. The menu runs the gamut from grilled fish to meat dishes and salads to pasta. The tartares and the finely sliced carpaccios come recommended. For dessert, try the belt-bustingly good passionfruit cheesecake.

It's about 3km north of Vaitape. Free shuttle at dinner.
