When you land, expect to transfer via boat or most likely seaplane for another half-hour or so trip to Turtle Island. Once there, be ready to have your breath taken away. Remember, the 80s flick, <em>The Blue Lagoon<\/em>? That\u2019s Turtle Island. Now you get the picture. You and your honey will feel like the world is your oyster. Only 14 couples are on the island at a time, so you\u2019ll have a Bure (Fijian villa) and private beach all to yourselves. Scuba dive, horseback ride, fish, sail, bike, picnic on the beach, or just chill. You\u2019ll enjoy dining like never before: Imagine dinner for two on a floating, lantern lit pontoon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Orbitz-Remote-Islands-Bora-Bora-French-Polynesia.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-40587 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Orbitz-Remote-Islands-Bora-Bora-French-Polynesia-600x397.jpg\" alt=\"Orbitz- Remote Islands- Bora Bora- French Polynesia\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Orbitz-Remote-Islands-Bora-Bora-French-Polynesia-600x397.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Orbitz-Remote-Islands-Bora-Bora-French-Polynesia-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Orbitz-Remote-Islands-Bora-Bora-French-Polynesia-400x265.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Orbitz-Remote-Islands-Bora-Bora-French-Polynesia.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><center><strong>Bora Bora, French Polynesia<\/strong><\/center>Some say <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/Bora-Bora-Hotels.d602861.Travel-Guide-Hotels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bora Bora<\/a> wins the contest for the most romantic island in the world. Think neon-lit turquoise lagoon waters, flowers, flowers and more flowers, then add white-sand beaches and the abundance of colorful fish that call the coral gardens home. The hard part will be deciding where to stay. There\u2019s ample choice in luxury resorts with overwater bungalows, thatched roof villas and spas. Bet if you\u2019ve never seen a stingray swimming beneath the see-through floor of your villa, you can in Bora Bora. When you\u2019re done oohing and ahhing, hit the water in a canoe, snorkel, dive, jet ski or take a sunset cruise aboard a catamaran sailboat. Hike and shopping are other options: Bora Bora&#8217;s got plenty of art, Tahitian pearls, perfumes and oils.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_40660\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Orbitz-Remote-Islands-Fulidhoo-Maldives.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40660\" class=\"wp-image-40660 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Orbitz-Remote-Islands-Fulidhoo-Maldives-600x346.jpg\" alt=\"Fulidhoo, Maldives\" width=\"600\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Orbitz-Remote-Islands-Fulidhoo-Maldives-600x346.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Orbitz-Remote-Islands-Fulidhoo-Maldives-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Orbitz-Remote-Islands-Fulidhoo-Maldives-400x231.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Orbitz-Remote-Islands-Fulidhoo-Maldives.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-40660\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fulidhoo, Maldives | Photo courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thundihotels.com\">Thundi Guest House<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><center><\/center><center><\/center><center><\/center><center><strong>Fulidhoo, Maldives<\/strong><\/center>Sure, everyone knows the Maldives are all about luxury, but there is a developing budget travel scene that\u2019s under the radar.

For amazement there\u2019s Volcan Chico and Sierra Negra, the second largest crater in the world, which you can trek by horse or on foot. You border the crater until you reach Volcan Chico where you\u2019ll observe fumaroles and craters that will make you think you\u2019re on Mars.

Fish, swim, golf, snorkel, or simply hang out in a hammock. Four-star hotel rates range from $174 to around $742 a night.

They are intimidating, and no one really knows why they were built by the Rapa Nui who carved and erected more than 900 Moai. Their mystery is part of the magic of Easter Island, which is extremely isolated, about 2,300 miles west of South America and 1,100 miles from the nearest neighboring island. If you want to explore Easter Island, be patient, it\u2019s a long, long flight, from New York, around 15+ hours. Bring comfortable shoes, you\u2019ll be trekking rugged archaeological sites. When you\u2019re done soaking up the cultural history, reflect on it all as you chill on the beautiful beaches, scuba dive, horse back ride or bicycle.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a
