More about staying in Bora Bora
Securing accommodation in Bora Bora guarantees an entrance into the world’s most coveted and romantic travel destination. The hospitality industry here is purely focused on ultra-luxury, offering an unparalleled level of exclusivity and stunning architectural integration with the mesmerizing, multi-colored lagoon and the towering Mount Otemanu.Bora Bora is the global pioneer and capital of the overwater bungalow. The island’s five-star resorts, located on the surrounding coral islets (motus), offer massive palatial suites built on stilts over the water. These premium villas feature glass-bottom floors, private infinity pools, and direct ladder access into the warm, tranquil waters of the Pacific Ocean.
The level of service at these luxury resorts is extraordinary. Guests can enjoy breakfasts delivered by traditional outrigger canoes, bespoke holistic spa treatments using local vanilla and monoi oil, and private yacht charters. The focus is entirely on creating a flawless, deeply romantic, and utterly private environment for discerning international travelers.
As the ultimate bucket-list destination, top-tier villas sell out exceptionally fast. It is highly advised to finalize your hotel reservation well over a year in advance for peak seasons. Browse our exclusive list of Bora Bora’s finest luxury resorts and overwater bungalows to turn your tropical dream into reality.
💡 Practical Information for Bora Bora
🤔 Frequently Asked Questions about Bora Bora
Yes, it is one of the most expensive destinations in the world. Almost everything is imported. To save, consider staying in a "Garden Bungalow" instead of overwater, and buy snacks/drinks at the local supermarket in Vaitape.
Bora Bora Airport (BOB) is located on a "Motu" (islet). Most luxury resorts provide private boat transfers, but they are expensive. A cheaper way is taking the free Air Tahiti ferry to Vaitape and then a taxi or boat from there.
The dry season is from May to October. This is the best time for sunshine and clear water for snorkeling. The wet season (November to April) is more humid and can bring tropical storms.
No. Most activities are water-based. To explore the main island, you can rent a bicycle or an electric "Twizy" for a few hours. There is only one main road that circles the island.
A lagoon snorkeling tour to swim with black-tip reef sharks and stingrays is the quintessential Bora Bora experience. The animals are used to humans and the water is incredibly clear.
For the iconic "Overwater Bungalow" experience with views of Mount Otemanu, stay at the resorts on the outer Motus. For a more local and budget-friendly stay, look for "Pensions" on the main island.
