Bora Bora, part of French Polynesia, stands out as one of the few places in the world that has never enacted anti-LGBTQ+ laws, offering an environment of inherent acceptance and openness. As a result, the island has become a serene haven for the queer community, where LGBTQ+ travelers can enjoy a seamless and comfortable visit.
As a territory of France, French Polynesia recognizes same-sex marriage, allowing LGBTQ+ couples to legally tie the knot in one of the most stunning destinations on Earth. Bora Bora’s picture-perfect landscapes, with its turquoise lagoons and overwater bungalows, provide a breathtaking backdrop for weddings, honeymoons, or romantic escapes.
While Bora Bora does not have a distinct LGBTQ+ scene or nightlife, the island’s welcoming atmosphere is reflected in its luxury resorts and hospitality industry, which embrace diversity and cater to all guests with exceptional service.
