There has been a total divergence of Maldives vs. Bora Bora properties, so I'm not sure that you can make any links between the two. Because the Maldives is so much larger and the govt is allowing a plethora of massive building projects on deserted atolls and even on live coral reefs you have a huge number of brand new complexes increasingly offering full-on city style amenities, whereas Bora Bora only has space for a handful of properties, and I can't think of any of which have benefited from any recent substantial capital investment (maybe the Conrad and the refit of the Four Seasons being the most recent?).
