Bora Bora
Bora Bora is a volcanic island in French Polynesia surrounded by a barrier reef and a turquoise lagoon, and its central peak, Mount Otemanu, is the eroded remnant of an extinct volcano that formed the island millions of years ago, now rising dramatically above the surrounding lagoon's shallow, protected water. The island is widely credited as the birthplace of the modern overwater bungalow, a style of accommodation built on stilts directly above the lagoon that first appeared there in the 1960s at the Hotel Bora Bora, a design innovation that's since become the signature architectural feature of luxury tropical resorts worldwide. Bora Bora's lagoon, protected from open-ocean swells by its encircling barrier reef, offers unusually calm, clear, shallow water well suited to snorkeling directly with reef sharks and stingrays in guided lagoon tours, a genuinely low-risk wildlife encounter that's become one of the island's most marketed visitor experiences. Bora Bora's combination of its dramatic volcanic peak, its founding role in inventing the overwater bungalow, and its calm, wildlife-rich lagoon has made it one of the most iconic and consistently aspirational island destinations in the world, particularly for honeymoon and luxury travel.

Capri, Italy
Capri has drawn wealthy and famous visitors since the Roman era, when Emperor Tiberius reportedly ruled the empire from the island for roughly the last decade of his life, building multiple villas across its cliffs, including the ruins of Villa Jovis, which still stand near the island's highest point today. The island's Blue Grotto, a sea cave illuminated by an eerie, vivid blue light created by sunlight refracting through an underwater cavity and passing through the seawater, has drawn visitors since the 19th century, when the cave was popularized among Northern European travelers on the Grand Tour. Capri became a favored retreat for international celebrities and jet-setters through the mid-20th century, a reputation the island has actively maintained through its upscale boutiques, luxury hotels, and the Faraglioni, a set of three dramatic limestone sea stacks rising directly out of the water that's become one of the island's most photographed natural landmarks. Capri's combination of its Roman imperial history, the naturally illuminated Blue Grotto, and its enduring 20th-century celebrity-retreat reputation has made it one of the most storied and consistently glamorous island destinations in the entire Mediterranean.
