Escape to cerulean waters, glorious sands and majestic mountain vistas at the Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora and allow yourself to drift into the slow pace of island life. Snorkelling amongst the colourful reefs is a must here, where countless species of marine life surround you. With a great dive centre on site, you can head out to spot whale sharks and manta rays, to name but a few, before extending your knowledge with the help of the resident marine biologist. And, for some time away from the glistening waters and warming rays – there’s also the opportunity to indulge in a heavenly treatment at the expansive lagoon-side spa. When it comes to wining and dining, two popular choices here are Arii Moana, famed for its fresh seafood and lagoon views, and Tere Nui which offers al fresco dining on the beach. With a relaxed décor reflecting its Polynesian location, the overwater bungalow suites here are light and airy with traditional teak furnishings and beautiful high ceilings of thatched pandanus leaves. All of the bungalows have the modern conveniences you’d expect, with superior Four Seasons touches like glass-panel flooring for marine-life viewing into the lagoon below. You can choose an Overwater Bungalow with views over the beach, lagoon or mountains. For something extra special, you can splash out on an Overwater Bungalow Suite with Plunge Pool.
Basking in a breathtaking setting overlooking a turquoise lagoon, this resort makes a great choice for those seeking spectacular views, charming beachfront or overwater bungalow accommodation and a convenient location close to Vaitape and Matira Point – renowned as one of the world’s finest beaches. Spend lazy days here on one of the two powder-soft beaches with a cocktail in hand, or if you fancy a refreshing break from the sunshine, you can snorkel amongst the colourful reef gardens in sparkling waters. There’s plenty to do if you feel like exploring, with shark and ray feeding excursions and a selection of watersports such as kayaking available. And, if you feel the need to escape the comforts of the resort, you could rent a bicycle to explore the island. Decorated in a typical Polynesian style, the bungalows and suites at the resort are simply sublime. Whether you opt for a Beach Bungalow, situated on the beachfront and only a stone’s throw from the shimmering waters of the lagoon, or whether you splash out on an overwater Junior Suite with direct lagoon access, where sliding glass-bottom coffee tables make excellent marine life feeding areas – you’ll always experience astounding sunrises and sunsets from the comfort of your own surroundings.
Nestled within the Motu Piti Aau – a coral island surrounded by a beautiful lagoon and reef, this stylish and eco-friendly resort truly deserves its incredible setting. With first-class service, sumptuous cuisine and an excellent range of facilities on offer, this is a great choice for those seeking the perfect fusion of relaxation and recreation. For the ultimate in indulgence, treat yourself at the resort’s centrepiece, the Deep Ocean Spa by Algotherm – a haven of serenity and the first Thalasso spa in the Southern Hemisphere. Leisure facilities include a swimming pool and pristine beach which offers an array of watersports such as kayaking, canoeing, diving and jet skiing. Three restaurants include Reef – the hotel’s main restaurant, serving gourmet cuisine with panoramic views over the lagoon and Mount Otemanu from the beachfront terrace. For more of an intimate setting, head to Le Corail for French and local menus complemented with a list of fine wines. Each of the spacious overwater villas is stylishly decorated in soothing neutral shades and is perched on stilts above the lagoon, with direct access to the crystal-clear water and the colourful marine life that flits beneath its surface. How you choose your villa will depend on its view, with a selection of beach, lagoon and mountain vistas to choose from. For added indulgence, splash out on one of the new Pool Overwater Villas which boast a private pool on the sun deck.
