Bora Bora lies 240 km (150 miles) northwest of Tahiti in the Leeward Society Islands and can be reached after 50mn flight from Tahiti thanks to Air Tahihi who offers more than 7 flights a day. The main island, home to 4,225 inhabitants, is in the center if a multicolored lagoon, surrounded by offshore motu islets inside a protective necklace of coral. There is only one navigable pass, facing the principal village of Vaitape. A 29 km (18 miles) partially paved road circles the island, passing colorful villages, archaeological sites, old Army bunkers and cannon left over from World War II, when 5,000 American GIs made a "friendly invasion". The Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort was opened in June 1998 and is located on the island Motu Tevairoa, 10 minutes by boat from the Bora Bora airport, 15 minutes from the main city of Bora Bora Vaitape.
