Conrad Bora Bora ui, FRENCH POLYNESIA
Look no further for South Pacific splendour. Most of the five-star resorts on Bora Bora sit on the sunrise-facing shores of Mount Otemanu but Conrad Bora Bora Nui is different. It’s the only hotel located on the sunset side, which means unrivalled privacy and much less boat traffic. It’s also home to the island’s longest stretch of screensaver-style sand, and to add to the glamour, the resort has recently undergone a revamp, introducing fabulous overwater villas with pools and catamaran-style nets.

The ultra-luxe villas are fit for the A-list (plenty of Hollywood names have stayed) and there’s a hedonistic hilltop spa for cooling off when the mercury hits scorchio. Throw in the hotel’s squadron of ‘Conrad curators’ – on hand to ensure every moment of your stay is fantastic – and you’ll wonder if honeymoon fairies might be at play. There are more activities than you can shake a flipper at (picnics on private islands, hiking the Valley of the Kings, helicopter rides or diving for pearls, to name a few) and if you fancy exploring, then plan a day trip to Motu Tapu, a private islet just 10 minutes’ ride away by boat.
