Bora Bora is the most visually iconic island in the Pacific — the volcanic peak of Mount Otemanu rising above a turquoise lagoon of extraordinary clarity, the motu islands surrounding the reef, the overwater bungalows that have become among the most photographed resort imagery in the world. It is also among the most expensive resort destinations on earth, with a visitor community that has the highest average spend of any Pacific destination. The PP linen wardrobe is exactly right for this context.

For the overwater bungalows. The Four Seasons, the InterContinental, the Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts — the overwater bungalow experience produces a specific wardrobe context: the deck of the bungalow over the lagoon, the steps directly into the water, the sunset view from the private terrace. White PP linen over natural swim shorts — the natural fabric that belongs in this setting, light enough for the Pacific heat, considered enough for the visual context that the world's most photographed resort setting produces.

For the lagoon excursions. The shark and ray feeding excursions, the coral garden snorkelling, the boat trips around the motu — natural swim shorts and a white PP linen shirt for the boat, leather deck shoes. The Pacific sun is intense; natural linen provides better UV management than synthetic alternatives.

For Vaitape and the main island. The only town on the main island, the boutiques and the small restaurants — a PP linen shirt in white or a warm natural with linen shorts and leather sandals. The relaxed village register.

For the resort evenings. The overwater restaurant at the Four Seasons, the beach restaurant at the InterContinental — a navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather loafers. For women: a PP ladies linen set in a composed deep colourway or the Amelia dress shirt in Coral Orange — the Bora Bora sunset light is extraordinary with a vivid colourway.
