Affordable Bora Bora vacation Tips

Choose a more affordable room like a beach bungalow

Want to see Bora Bora on a budget? We've done it many times. An affordable Bora Bora vacation is possible if you know how. Here are suggestions for how to enjoy the most beautiful island in the world without maxing out your credit card.

Choose Affordable Bora Bora Vacation Resorts

Accommodation is usually the largest cost of a vacation in Bora Bora. Some hotel 'rooms' sell at $1800 per night. These villas are so luxurious you wouldn't actually want to miss a moment's vacation time by closing your eyes to sleep in them. But if you're wanting a great time without worrying what it's costing, there are affordable hotel stays at beautiful Bora Bora resorts. You just need to know what to look for.

Sail on a Tahiti Cruise

Want to sail around Tahiti and visit 5 different tropical islands, including Bora Bora? With travel, accommodation, meals and entertainment all provided for you!

One of the easiest to plan, most enjoyable and affordable Tahiti vacations we can recommend is a Tahiti Cruise. I've been on this adventure 3 times! Tahiti Cruises sail to Bora Bora several times a year on 7-14 night voyages.

Find Affordable Eating in Bora Bora

Before going to Tahiti I had heard a rumor that food was expensive there. It can be. But we're not zillionaires so we've discovered how to eat well and still have affordable Bora Bora vacations. Another great way to save money is to bundle together an all inclusive package that includes your resort meals. Find out why we don't recommend including all meals in your package.

Save money on alcohol

If you want to sample Tahiti cocktails at your resort's bar, do it during happy hour. At other times you can enjoy making your own drinks on the deck of your bungalow. Buying alcohol at a supermarket will cut your drinks bill to a fraction.
