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.
