Bora Bora is a 29.3 km2 (11 sq mi) island in the
Leeward group in the western part of the
Society Islands of
French Polynesia, an
overseas collectivity of France in the
Pacific Ocean. The island, located about 230 kilometres (143 miles) northwest of
Papeete, is surrounded by a lagoon and a
barrier reef. In the centre of the island are the remnants of an
extinct volcano rising to two peaks, Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu, the highest point at 727 metres (2,385 feet).
Bora Bora is a major international tourist destination, famous for its aqua-centric
luxury resorts. The major settlement,
Vaitape, is on the western side of the main island, opposite the main channel into the
lagoon. Produce of the island is mostly limited to what can be obtained from the sea and the plentiful
coconut trees, which were historically of economic importance for
copra. According to a 2008
census, Bora Bora has a permanent population of 8,880.
