Overall

Bora Bora vs the Maldives would, I believe, come out as a draw. We stayed in the Bora Bora in June this year and the Maldives in 2003 prior to the devastation of the tsunami so this may be historical. They are both idyllic locations sharing some features but being unique in others. In the Maldives each hotel/resort is its own atoll, therefore, the activities are subject to what the hotel organises. Both locations are fantastic for the sea life - my wife and I don't scuba dive but saw almost as much of the sea life by snorkelling as the divers in both places. Bora Bora has the advantage of being able to go to other places to eat and drink whereas on the Maldives its take it or leave it in your hotel. We stayed at Club Med in both Bora Bora and the Maldives. The biggest draw back to Bora Bora is the 36 hours travelling time (including layovers) from UK compared to 12 hours to the Maldives. I would recommend anyone who has been to Bora Bora to visit the Maldives. Hope this helps
