Island near Bora Bora (6)
I believe the answer is:
tahiti
'island near bora bora' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for tahiti that I've seen before include "Polynesian island where Gauguin lived" , "South Seas island, capital Papeete" , "Island in South Pacific, chief town Papeete" , "I hit at this exotic island" , "French Polynesian island" .)
