Now that we've got activities and hotels sorted, the only thing missing is the best places to eat. Ive decided to combine Bora Bora and Venice in the same post to finish it neatly and conveniently. The restaurants Ive chosen to list are well known and have excellent reputations for exceeding everyone's palette.

2.La Villa Mahana


The La Villa Mahana offers guests a gourmet dinner with wine pairing, in a intimiate and romantic atmosphere, looking beyond the deep, blue royal lagoon of Bora Bora. However, the restaurant only seats six couples per night so be sure to book in advanced. The restaurant offers a five-course Menu.
