Vacation season is upon us; however, this year is so different from other years, the result of the Coronavirus means we have to be choosy, and therefore only the best will do.
Luxury hotel groups have played their part in making sure the resorts are safe, and the guests feel they can enjoy their hard-earned breaks.
Hospitality has changed, and no company is better positioned than the Four Seasons Group to embrace change. Let’s take a look at what The Four Seasons in French Polynesia have put in place to accommodate this change and make sure your vacation remains outstanding.
Lead with care
The luxury hotel group, the Four Seasons, states on its website that it “leads with care”. A statement of fact and not just another throwaway comment but is a commitment to the guest safety and well being and the website states that the Four Seasons Group is working with the Johns Hopkins Medicine International Foundation.
Johns Hopkins Medicine International Foundation is a global division dedicated to health care and research employed to inform The Four Seasons on its health and safety in these difficult times.
Now you know the science behind the slogan, let's look at the resort, and it’s surroundings.
Where is Bora Bora?
For those who don’t know, Bora Bora is a private island in the middle of French Polynesia. It is part of the Leeward group of islands, within the atoll of the Society Islands.
Deep in the South Pacific Ocean, Bora Bora is surrounded by a lagoon and coral reefs, this idyllic island has an extinct volcano. As a consequence, the soil and vegetation are abundant and lush and give the island of Bora Bora the beautiful scenery we see in all the photos of the island.
Getting to Bora Bora is not that easy, the nearest commercial airport is Faa’a Airport International Airport opened in Tahiti, once you’re there, public transport is limited to car hire, bicycle and small buggies.
If you’re heading to The Four Seasons on Bora Bora, you may choose a short interconnecting flight. The island has a tiny airport, inherited from the Americans after the war; small commercial flights make occasional visits but private charter planes made regular stops at Bora Bora making this by far the quickest route to your vacation.
The Four Seasons Resort – Bora Bora
A prominent feature of the resort is the promenades of overwater bungalows. Water sport is high on the list here, snorkelling and diving are very popular pastimes. The resort is beautiful and surrounded by gorgeous scenery looking gout to see or inland towards Mount Otemanu.
The website states “Toast sunsets from your private plunge pool, marvel at the Tahitian night sky, or simply lose yourself in our lagoon, where the waters teem with exotic reef fish and
