Your guide to the best luxury hotels in Bora Bora

Bora Bora is a lagoon with a mountain in the middle: Mount Otemanu rises above the main island, the water around it shifts through every shade of blue, and a ring of slender coral islets, the motus, forms the outer edge. If a 5-star hotel in Bora Bora is what you are after, you will stay on one of these motus, in a villa on stilts above the water. Every one of the luxury hotels in Bora Bora is reached by boat, so even the transfer from the airport turns into a short cruise across the lagoon.The St. Regis Bora Bora ResortThe St. Regis Bora Bora Resort · Bora BoraCouples who value calm and a butler stay at The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort, where a private Lagoonarium invites you to snorkel. If you love swimming laps and want to see sea turtles up close, book The Westin Bora Bora. Food lovers head to Le Bora Bora, where Guillaume Hel Guillou cooks at Poerava. For villas with their own infinity pool and trips to a private islet, we recommend Conrad Bora Bora Nui.

No booking fee: the benefits simply come on top of the rate you book.

Villas over the lagoon, recognized by Michelin and Forbes: life at the luxury hotels in Bora Bora

Butler service and a Lagoonarium: At The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort on Motu Ome’e every unit is a villa, and the ones over the water have glass floor panels for watching the fish below. A butler takes care of the details. In the heart of the resort lies the Lagoonarium, a private saltwater lagoon full of tropical fish and rays. The resort holds two Michelin Keys and four stars in the Forbes Travel Guide.

The Westin Bora BoraThe Westin Bora Bora · Faanui

Glass floors and plunge pools: At The Westin Bora Bora on Motu Tape, too, the overwater bungalows let you look straight down into the lagoon, and many come with a private plunge pool. On site, a care center nurses injured sea turtles until they can return to the ocean, and a dive center takes you out to the reefs.

Polynesian art: One luxury hotel in Bora Bora with a character all its own is Le Bora Bora on Motu Tevairoa. A member of Relais & Châteaux, it holds an official five-star classification. The Tevairoa Gallery shows work by Polynesian artists, and two evenings a week dancers perform on the paepae, the traditional stone platform.

Two floors above the water: Conrad Bora Bora Nui sits on Motu To’opua. Many of its 86 overwater villas have a private infinity pool, and the Presidential villas spread over two floors. A short boat ride takes guests to Motu Tapu, a small private islet. The Forbes Travel Guide lists the resort as Recommended.

Pools

Pool, spa & wellness: lagoon views at your 5-star hotel in Bora Bora

For pool lovers: At the center of The Westin Bora Bora lies an infinity pool with a swim-up bar and a waterfall tumbling from the second floor. Conrad Bora Bora Nui also has an infinity pool with a bar in the water. Le Bora Bora adds an outdoor pool, and many of its villas have a pool of their own, from the Garden Villa to the Pool Overwater Villa.

Conrad Bora Bora NuiConrad Bora Bora Nui · Vaiati

For spa days: The spa at The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort stands on its own tiny island in the middle of the Lagoonarium, with treatment pavilions over the water. High on the hillside at Conrad Bora Bora Nui, eight treatment rooms, one of them on an open-air deck, look out over the lagoon. The Tavai Spa at Le Bora Bora offers Polynesian taurumi massages, hot-stone treatments with monoi and Cinq Mondes facials, plus a sauna and outdoor Vichy showers.

Our tip: snorkeling without a boat

In the Lagoonarium at The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort, rays and colorful fish swim right inside the resort. Perfect for a first snorkel before you head out to the reefs.

Dining

Dining at the luxury hotels in Bora Bora: dinner on stilts and tasting menus in a hidden garden

Over the water: In the evening you dine at Lagoon by Jean-Georges at The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort, raised on stilts above the lagoon with Otemanu in view. The concept comes from Jean-Georges Vongerichten, the kitchen blends French and Asian cooking, and the wine list runs to more than 800 labels. Bamboo serves Asian dishes as well.

Le Bora BoraLe Bora Bora · Motu Tevairoa

French Polynesian: At Poerava in Le Bora Bora, Guillaume Hel Guillou serves three- and five-course menus in a secluded garden, Polynesian produce paired with French technique; book ahead. For an aperitif, Uaina Bar pours wine alongside sushi and cheese, and by the pool Miki Miki serves poisson cru, raw fish in lime and coconut milk.

Where to stay

Where to stay in Bora Bora: which motu suits your 5-star hotel

The village of Vaitape is on the main island, and the resorts are spread across the motus around it. Even the airport sits on a motu, Motu Mute, about 50 minutes by air from Tahiti. When you pick a 5-star hotel in Bora Bora, you are also picking the boat ride that gets you there.

Le Bora BoraLe Bora Bora · Bora Bora

On the outer reef: Le Bora Bora sits on the southern tip of Motu Tevairoa, about ten minutes by boat from the airport and a quarter of an hour from Vaitape, facing Otemanu: our pick for short transfers. Guests who want a butler and the Lagoonarium stay on Motu Ome’e at The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort; pool lovers head to Motu Tape and The Westin Bora Bora.

Off the west coast: Conrad Bora Bora Nui stands on Motu To’opua, about 20 minutes by boat from the airport. With its private islet, Motu Tapu, it suits travelers who like to disappear for a while.

Our tip: plan outings as half days

Every trip to Vaitape crosses the water, and the resorts run their own boats for it. Plan the market, an island tour or a dive as a half day and keep the rest for the lagoon.
