Hotel Maitai Polynesia
Laidback comfort, island energy
On the main island of Bora Bora, this hotel feels connected and alive.
At Hotel Maitai Polynesia, you’ll find simple comforts, a friendly team, and just enough facilities to keep things easy without losing that relaxed, local feel. Meals are flexible too: you can eat in at the hotel, grab a pizza next door, or wander to a local grill for freshly caught fish. If you’re in the mood for something more polished, the island’s most famous restaurants will often collect you from the hotel when you book. The real joy here is the balance: it’s unfussy and keeps you close to both the lagoon and the community.
Why we love Hotel Maitai Polynesia
-
Staying on the main island means you’re part of a village community, with local cafés, BBQ spots, and shops within walking distance.
-
Overwater bungalows bring the Bora Bora experience to life, with healthy marine life beneath and the chance to spot stingrays gliding past.
-
You’ve got variety on your doorstep, from wood-fired pizza next door to casual grills, plus the option of being whisked off to iconic restaurants like Bloody Mary’s.
-
It’s a friendly three-star property that gives you a true sense of place and makes Bora Bora accessible without losing its magic.
Facilities
Dining here feels relaxed and flexible. The main restaurant serves French-Polynesian favourites, while the bar by the water is perfect for cocktails and light bites at sunset. Next door, you’ll find a pizza spot for a casual bite, while a short stroll brings you to local grills serving fresh fish and island classics. Make a reservation at one of Bora Bora’s big-name restaurants and they’ll often pick you up straight from the hotel.

Half Board
This is where the hotel shines. The lagoon is right in front of you, with snorkelling, paddleboards, and kayaks ready to use. Excursions take you further out to meet rays and reef sharks, or around the island on a full-day cruise. Diving can also be arranged, giving you the chance to explore Bora Bora’s spectacular underwater world.
Hotel Maitai Polynesia is EarthCheck Platinum certified and takes a thoughtful, practical approach to the environment. Energy-efficient lighting, water-saving systems, and refillable dispensers keep resources in check, while composting and careful recycling reduce waste. In the lagoon, a solar-powered Biorock project helps coral grow and thrive.
