Povai Bay
4.6 (5574 reviews)
Povai Bay sits in one of Bora-Bora's most sheltered corners, making it a go-to anchorage when you want calm water and easy access to the island's highlights. You can rent a yacht here from around $325/day and head straight out to the Coral Garden, where the snorkeling in crystal-clear lagoon water is genuinely hard to beat. The dramatic backdrop of Mount Otemanu towering over the bay makes this one of the most scenic spots in all of French Polynesia.
