How many days is ideal in Bora Bora?

To properly experience Bora Bora, three days (four nights if arriving late) should be enough. The island is small and there isn't all that much to see. If you're after a pampering luxury holiday of sipping cocktails on the deck of your overwater bungalow, you could probably spend a week (if you can afford that).
