Faanui is a quiet village on Bora Bora's main island, home to the historic Église de Faanui, a coral-stone church built in the 1890s. The village overlooks a sheltered bay used for black pearl cultivation, where visitors can tour pearl farms and learn about the harvesting process. The area offers a glimpse of local life away from resorts, with a small marina and views of the lagoon.
