OCEANIA
French Polynesia: Lagoon
Overwater bungalows, lagoon snorkels, sunsets in Bora Bora.
The padavs
One night in Tahiti to recover from the long flight. Ferry to Moorea — the prettier, quieter sister island — for snorkeling with rays, an ATV tour to the Belvedere lookout, and a pineapple-juice-from-the-source farm visit. Then Bora Bora for the iconic overwater bungalow stay: Four Seasons or St. Regis if money is no object, InterContinental Thalasso for points redemption. Snorkel coral gardens, swim with reef sharks (gentle), dinner on a private motu. The most photographed lagoon on earth, and it earns it.

A day in Tahiti (Papeete)
The beach before 9 am: empty, cool water, and the fishermen still bringing in the catch.
Snorkel the bay or hire a kayak to explore the cove around the headland.
Fresh grilled catch at a terrace restaurant, toes still sandy from the afternoon.
