Your guide to the best luxury hotels in Bora Bora
The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort · Bora BoraFor this guide we have gathered the best hotels in Bora Bora: 5 luxury hotels, from 887 euros a night.At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.
5 luxury hotels in Bora Bora – and how to choose
The luxury hotels in Bora Bora cost between 887 € and 1,774 € a night, on average 1,175 € – and all 5 carry a rate.
The Westin Bora Bora · FaanuiAt all five the suitespot benefits apply from the first night. And one thing sets this place apart from almost every other destination.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
The image everyone has in mind when they hear Bora Bora is a roof on stilts above turquoise water. In fact, that picture is rare worldwide.
Overwater categories exist in only a handful of places worldwide, almost all of them in the Maldives and French Polynesia.
43 of them are in Bora Bora – more than anywhere else. And they are spread across all five hotels in this selection:
• The Westin Bora Bora – 12
• The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort – 10
• InterContinental Bora Bora Resort – 9
• Conrad Bora Bora Nui – 7
• Le Bora Bora – 5
Next come almost only destinations in the Maldives: Malé has 20, the Dhaalu Atoll eight, Huruvalhi seven, the Raa Atoll five. Plus Moorea with four – French Polynesia again.
What that means in practice: here you do not have to search for whether there are overwater bungalows. You have to decide which. And that is where the differences begin that the brochure does not show: how far out the bungalow stands, whether the walk to the restaurant takes two minutes or twelve, and whether you see Mount Otemanu from the bed or the open sea.
The Le Bora Bora has an answer of its own to that: one unit there is called „End of Pontoon“ – the last bungalow on the walkway, furthest out. It does not get quieter; nor does it get further to walk.
Our advice: tell us which matters more to you – the quiet right at the end or the short way to shore. Our travel advisors know the walkways and assign the actual number before you book.
Where to stay in Bora Bora: motu, reef or main island
Bora Bora is a ring: in the middle lies the main island with Mount Otemanu, around it a reef of narrow coral islets, the motus.
Le Bora Bora · Motu TevairoaAnd that is the most important local knowledge for your booking: four of the five hotels stand not on the main island but each on its own motu. The Westin Bora Bora at 887 € on Motu Tape, The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort at 1,014 € on Motu Ome’e and the Le Bora Bora at 1,175 € on Motu Tevairoa. The InterContinental Bora Bora Resort at 1,500 € sits at Piti Aau, the Conrad Bora Bora Nui at 1,774 € at Vaiati.
Concretely that means: every trip into the town of Vaitape – to the bank, the market, the dive jetty – is a boat ride, not a taxi ride. The resorts run a shuttle for it. Anyone who does not like the sound of that should know it beforehand; anyone who is coming for exactly that has chosen well. Our recommendation: plan excursions in half-days, not in hours.
What the categories reveal: 14 name the lagoon, nine the mountain – six of them expressly the Otemanu, three in general terms. They mean the same basalt core that stands above everything. Three name the beach, three the island.
74 categories: the best hotels in Bora Bora from the inside
Together the best hotels in Bora Bora offer 74 room categories, and 32 of them state a square metre figure.
Conrad Bora Bora Nui · VaiatiThe largest units are the Royal Beach at the Le Bora Bora at around 436 square metres and three units at the InterContinental Bora Bora Resort at 322 and twice around 320. At the Conrad Bora Bora Nui follows a Presidential Overwater at 300.
More important for planning is the lower end, because that is the normal case: an overwater bungalow here typically measures between 170 and 220 square metres – and that figure includes the deck with the steps into the water, which accounts for a substantial share. The indoor area is therefore markedly smaller than the number first suggests. We would rather tell you beforehand.
A note on the odd-looking figures: some are converted from square feet. We round them for you.
And where the measurements are missing – for a good four categories in ten – our travel advisors obtain them before you book, together with the walkway number.
What a night at a luxury hotel in Bora Bora costs
A night at a 5-star hotel in Bora Bora costs between 887 € and 1,774 €, on average 1,175 €.
| Luxury hotel | From | suitespot benefits from |
|---|---|---|
| The Westin Bora Bora | 887 € | 1st night |
| The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort | 1014 € | 1st night |
| Le Bora Bora | 1175 € | 1st night |
| InterContinental Bora Bora Resort | 1500 € | 1st night |
| Conrad Bora Bora Nui | 1774 € | 1st night |
At all five hotels the benefits apply from the first night. At these rates that is a noticeable difference – a hotel credit of 100 US dollars weighs the same on one night as on seven.
When it is at its best: from May to October. That is the dry season here: 25 to 28 degrees, the trade wind blowing, clear air and the calmest lagoon. Our recommendation – and the season when the Otemanu stands cloud-free most reliably.
From November to April it is the rainy season, more humid and with heavy showers. In return everything is green, rates are lower, and the showers usually pass in half an hour. If you are snorkelling, the rain hardly bothers you anyway.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year exactly as in the busiest.
Breakfast, hotel credit and exclusive services at a 5-star hotel
In Bora Bora four benefits come with all 5 hotels: breakfast, the upgrade, the early check-in or late check-out and a hotel credit.
Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comAfter that the list is short: points or status benefits at four and a welcome gift at one.
And then it gets specific.
• The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort serves breakfast à la carte in the restaurant – not as a buffet.
• The Westin Bora Bora lets you choose between dining and the spa for the credit.
• The Le Bora Bora gives 100 US dollars for food and drink – excluding alcohol, and not every rate carries it. The same applies there to the late check-out. Ask us about that beforehand.
And the loyalty side: two hotels belong to Marriott Bonvoy, one each to IHG One Rewards and Hilton Honors. One belongs to no programme.
At nights of this order, collecting points is particularly worthwhile. Give us your number.
