These are the best beaches of the world, some of the most idyllic, picture-perfect and utterly stunning beaches this world has to offer.

Bora Bora<\/b>, <\/b>Tahiti<\/b><\/b><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So good they named it twice. Set amongst the stunning islands that make up French Polynesia in the South Pacific, Bora Bora is a little sliver of land (just 18 miles long) that lies in a protected lagoon bordered by porcelain white sandy beaches. The whole place is easy on the eye but Matira Point arguably edges this contest. Bora Bora contains numerous isolated beaches, intimate hotels and the quiet atmosphere craved by anyone looking to truly get away from the hustle of urban life with the good lady in tow.<\/p>\n
