Need a destination to pair with Bora Bora

Starting initial planning for 10 year anniversary next year. Primary goal is to get to Bora Bora – however as beautiful as it sounds I think I would get bored with 10 beach days (and $$$$ food) so I’m wanting to add a 2nd destination. What is the best additional destination to pair with Bora Bora? I plan on using FF miles and want to try and fly either F or J (at least for the long legs) so that may limit me.

I am currently considering:
New Zealand (would love to go to Australia some day so not sure if I should just wait and go to NZ then)
Easter Island (what all is there to do?)
Sinagpore or Hong Kong (don’t know much about either place, but have heard they are neat)

I'm open to pretty much anything - any other good ideas I’m missing (FYI – I have already been to Vietnam, Philippines, and Hawaii and going to Bali in a couple years on a different trip so those are out)

Probably looking at 10-12 days in total.

There's enough to do on Easter Island for 3 days, even for people with short attention spans like me. Two days driving around the island looking at the coast and the moai (statues). The town, the museum, the crater. The rocky cliff coastline around Easter Island is quiet beautiful.

Hong Kong is well worth seeing in my opinion.

It's reportedly very tough to get FF award seats on LAN's flight between PPT and IPC.
