The grand hotels stand in cities and mountain towns, and they are in Hotels. The resorts here are islands and beaches: a rock in St Barths, a lagoon in the Maldives, an atoll in French Polynesia. The photographs show the seas and islands of each region, not the resorts themselves.
The islands of the Caribbean season, from Gustavia to Anguilla, are in The Caribbean.
Bora Bora is an extinct volcano inside a lagoon and a barrier reef, in the Leeward Islands of French Polynesia. The island covers 30.55 km2 and its highest point, Mount Otemanu, rises 727 m. The Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen made the first European sighting in 1722.
The United States built a military base on the island in 1942, after Pearl Harbor, and kept it until 1946. Hotel Bora Bora opened in 1961 with 18 thatched huts, and added the first over-the-water bungalows on stilts in 1970. Nearly every resort on the lagoon has copied them since. The hotel closed in 2008 and has not reopened.
