Bora Bora Nui | Bachelorette finale

I stayed at Bora Bora Nui Resort several years ago, and I actually watched a portion of last night's finale of ABC's The Bachelorette to catch some glimpses of the property. It was a fun homecoming!

A large resort with nearly a mile of beach, Bora Bora Nui is located in an isolated portion of the lagoon. With no other resorts in sight, you'll get a real sense of seclusion for a romantic holiday. Rooms are large and very attractive with some of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. Bathrooms are also grand in scale; there are two marble counters and sinks, and you can arrange to have the large soaking tub filled with rose petals to set the mood.

Overwater bungalows are the rooms of choice here. Walk down the steps outside the back door of your bungalow to your own private dock where you can put on your snorkeling equipment and slip into the wonderfully warm water. Bora Bora is a place to relax, swim among the colorful topical fish, or simply gaze out over the incredible aquamarine waters of the atoll. Ask about special Bachelorette packages that include breakfast for two every morning, an island gourmet picnic, and special round-trip boat transfers from the airport.

Bachelorette Package | Le Taha'a Resort

There should be a surge of interest in Le Taha'a Island Resort, located on a private island just off Bora Bora. Why? Because the resort will be featured in the next episode of The Bachelorette to be shown on ABC on July 19. According to publicity I have received, "America will witness how Le Taha'a Island Resort was able to play matchmaker in creating such sacred and pivotal moments for Ali." Sacred? Reality TV? But I digress...

A special Bachelorette Package has been created to help couples experience their own romantic escape in French Polynesia. The package includes:

• Four nights in a Raiatea Overwater Bungalow
  
• Complimentary daily American breakfast for two
  
• Flower bed and half bottle of champagne upon arrival
  
• Private 3-course dinner for two (with wine) under the stars on the terrace of your bungalow

Price of the four-night package is 265,050 XPF (about $2800) plus taxes. Your vacation can also include some of the other experiences shown on The Bachelorette: a moonlit dinner on the beach and a scenic helicopter flight over Tupai and Bora Bora.

Le Taha'a Island Resort is a member of Relais & Chateaux and part of the Virtuoso network. Book through a Virtuoso luxury travel consultant for the best values and complimentary amenities at over 850 romantic resorts and hotels around the world.
