<H3>One and a half Bora Bora Private Islands For Sale. </H3> A unique opportunity to own an island in Bora Bora, the most beautiful island on Earth.  Very few islands in the world offer such splendid landscapes and environment. This stunning and unique property consists of not one, but two private motus (little islands) located right in the middle of the superior part of the world-famous Bora Bora Lagoon. These two islands make up a total of 2.7 hectares (6.6 acres) of private island paradise situated in the Bora Bora lagoon. Close to Bora Bora Airport and Motu Tane. Both islets are undeveloped, and between both islets, a wonderful underwater coral garden for snorkelling and spear fishing.   SUITABILITY No human - only fish and birds live on and around this charming islet. Periodically a worker will come to the Motu and collect fallen coconuts and to clean the grounds. No structure of any sort has ever been erected on this islet. It lends itself beautifully to a development of a high class hotel - or just a few bungalows for a retreat - or maybe an exotic haven for visiting friends? The island is perfect for either a boutique luxury Private Island Resort, or a very hedonistic Private Island Retreat. Considering the unique qualities and location of the sublime property a significant return on investment can also be expected. Private islands in French Polynesia are rare, but private Motus in Bora Bora are almost priceless I have a developed island smaller in size for $15 million USD. This is an exceptional setting for a deluxe resort. (a foreigner may buy under the condition he builds a hotel (small at least, i.e. a few bungalows). The local Government will support all tourism developments as they tend to increase their number one national product - tourism. In fact they even financially cooperate with land owners in such events. Repatriation of profits are not taxed, but any business, as elsewhere, is subject to local taxation. Hotels and villas on these type islands are built on stilts, anchored into the lagoon bottom. They provide exciting views of the surrounding nature and the magnificent underwater flora and fauna. Clean water supply is derived through reverse osmosis. Solar energy plays an important role in providing electricity for lighting and appliances. For commercial applications, such as large freezers and volume desalination, hotels use their own generators.   BORA BORA Its unforgettable turquoise lagoon where a multicolor aquatic fauna (sting & manta rays, sharks, tropical fishes …) can be observed by outrigger canoe, boat or diving explorations is born from the slow decline of its main volcano – Mount Otemanu (727 m)- doubled by the legendary Mount Pahia (626 m). The coral reef includes a string of islets (motu One, motu Mute, motu Piti Aau …) and gorgeous white sand beaches surrounding the main island. The unique pass of Teavanui between the ocean and the lagoon faces the main village of Vaitape located on the western coast of the island.The west coast presents 2 bays : Faanui and Poofai. Superlatives run out when trying to describe Bora Bora’s enduring appeal. Ransack the thesaurus for a range of blues or greens and you still couldn’t do justice to the visual assault of the lagoon, the blinding whiteness of the powder sand and the jungle lushness of its volcanic bumps. Just before sunset the place to be is the jetty of the Hotel Bora Bora for the fish feeding, which may sound twee but isn’t. For the limpid quality of the water here, the colour of the coral and variety of fish as they thresh the water in their hundreds of thousands, it’s the place for your final sundowner, breathtaking and unforgettable. Frangipani perfumes, hermit crabs swapping their shells by moonlight, singers beneath a tree harmonising, palm-thatched fares, and a reef that bleeds its colours from ultramarine to teal and back again. If this sounds like something that happens only when a tourist is taking a photo of it, it's not. It's just business as usual in Bora Bora. The name we commonly use for this island is, in fact, a European adaptation, as the letter b does not exist in Tahitian.  Its name is actually Pora Pora, meaning "first-born," and was, before that, Vava'u.  The island is believed to have been inhabited since the year 900, the inhabitants fierce warriors who spent much of their time raiding the neighboring islands. Bora Bora, easily visible from Raiatea, Tahaa, and even Huahine, was "discovered" by Roggeveen in 1722, and visited twice by Captain Cook.  The first European to live ashore, however, was James O'Connor, a British shipwreck survivor.  He eventually married into the Pomare family, and ended up living on Bora Bora's Matira Point.  His home was originally named after his former ship, Matilda, but the name was corrupted as names often are. Much of the transportation on the island was built by Americans from the years 1942-46.  They had set up a refueling/regrouping base in 1942, and arranged eight huge naval guns on the island to defend the base from a surprise Japanese attack.  The attack never came, but some of the guns are still there.  The Americans also built a road around the island and constructed the current airfield on Motu Mute.  This was the main airfield for all of French Polynesia for many years.  Until they finished the Tahiti airport, all visitors to French Polynesia flew into Bora-Bora and then took seaplanes to other islands.  The army soldiers themselves left behind 130 half-Polynesian babies when the base was closed in 1946.  Approximately 40% of them died of starvation when they were forced to change from specialized American baby formula to island food. In the ancient times, Bora Bora was called “Mai Te Pora” which literally signifies “created by the Gods”. Nowadays the new gods of Hollywood flock to this island, reputed by many (me included) to be the most beautiful island on earth. Pierce Brosnan, Keanu Reeves, Denzel Washington and a host of other A-listers all regularly flock to the island, not just for it’s beauty, but also for the sybaritic luxury of it’s resorts, some of the most famous in the world. Marlon Brando despite having his very own atoll of Te’tiaroa was still entranced by the beauty of the island and had his own over the water cottage so he could soak up the views of the lagoon. Superlatives are missing to describe the beauty of Bora Bora, the “Pearl of the Pacific”; the most famous of the Leeward Islands of French Polynesia. The island has been famed for it’s beauty for generations, but it really achieved world-wide fame when the author James Michener, stationed there in WWII, was so captivated by the beauty of the island that he sat under a coconut palm, put pen to paper and immortalised the island as his “Bali Hai”. No wonder that with eye-dazzling scenery and the mythical south sea maidens that so many Marines stationed there in WWII went absent without leave. From every point you see Mount Otemanu, a limestone giant which floats above the lagoon like a set-piece for Hollywood epic, as if carved by the hands of some giant to add deliberate harsh edges to the soft myriad colours of the world-famous lagoon. There aren’t enough words in the dictionary to describe Bora Bora’s Lagoon. But I think the words of the famous French arctic explorer Paul-Emile Victor, who after a lifetime settled in Motu Tane island in Bora Bora aptly describes the lagoon. “Never before had I seen waters the colour the rainbow or like fireworks, springing right out of some maddened imagination, or from Gauguin’s own palette. Waters the colour of bronze, of copper, gold, silver, mother-of-pearl, pearl, jade, emerald, moonlight or the aurora borealis. The stars themselves seem to have fallen into the sea, scintillating brilliantly on the lagoon’s surface, in bright sunlight… Who could find the words, what poet the images, what painter ever the colours, to describe this scene? I give up.” Paul Emile Victor describing his impressions of Motu Tane Island, Bora Bora from the cockpit of a plane in 1958 after a 25 year absence from the islands. But put your head under the shimmering waters of the lagoon and the real magic begins. Manta Rays glide past gardens of coral, every bit as dazzling and colourful as any terrestrial garden. Afloat in these calm and shallow waters there is a never-ending panorama of entertainment. Coral gardens of the shallows where colour runs riot. As you lie languorously in the embrace of the ocean, your company will be a myriad of queer and familiar fish, the occasional curious turtle, and always the company of swift and graceful birds. Sometimes the whole ocean is as calm as it can only be in the tropics - a shield of shimmering silver from which the islands stand out as turquoise bosses. Again, it is of cobalt blue, with changing bands of purple and gleaming pink, or of grey-blue - the reflection of a sky pallid and tremulous with excess of life. Hour after hour you may float on the warm waters of the ocean, conscious, in the whole body, of every shred and current of the multitudinous water, or diving under in a vain attempt to catch the radiant butterfly-coloured fish that flit in and out of the thousand windows of their gor¬geous coral palaces.  After your morning swim, you can relax by lying on the sand lambswool white and soft.  Out of the blue sky blazed that thick, pulsating warmth that licks at the back of your legs when you to host your bottom before a log fire.  A few moments out of the water and the moisture of the ocean becomes was a dry salty powder against the skin, crusted salt and goose bumps coming and going as the gentle trade wind blows over you. After the sun becomes to warm you can hang in a hammock under the shade of two swaying palm trees; and there recline to spend long hours dreaming or sleeping to the soothing sound of the waves lapping the beach.  Swinging gently, back and forth, rocked by the faint tropical breeze, sipping a pina colada, your mind a complete blank, inhaling, ex¬haling the sweet air you will realise that no matter how much money you have it is these simple pleasures are what you had always dreamed of.
