Choosing Bora Bora Hotels

Want a perfect Tahiti vacation? A stay at Bora Bora hotels will be unlike any vacation you have had. Here's everything you must know before making hotel reservations.

Everything is Beautiful!

Most Bora Bora Hotels are luxury resorts set in a pristine paradise. Their exotic, Polynesian style bungalows perfectly compliment the natural environment. They are nestled along private, palm tree dotted, white-sand beaches fringing the warm, blue lagoon.

Their gorgeous infinity swimming pools are right on the beach. A variety of leisure activities is offered in glorious tropical settings. Just walking around their perfumed, tropical grounds is a feast for the senses.

Rooms are Romantic Bungalows

The ‘rooms’ at resorts in Bora Bora are thatched roof bungalows. Inside you will be amazed by all the conveniences of a modern hotel room, in an island inspired décor. They vary in size from palatial at the St Regis, to small and modest at the Maitai. The Bora Bora hotel prices are a vast range. Here you can view all the Bora Bora resorts rated by Tahiti Tourism's tiares. Most bungalows at hotels in Bora Bora are so classy, resorts call them villas.

The magical over water bungalows, sitting on slender stilts above the lagoon at Bora Bora hotels, infuse romantic getaways with delight. Some are so lavish they include a swimming pool and jacuzzi on the deck.

Over water bungalows at the Sofitel Marara Beach

Beach bungalows are at the lagoon edge, so you can step out the door onto white sand. The top Bora Bora resorts offer a few with private pools. We love beach bungalows because we're lagoon addicts and can afford to stay for more nights.

Beach bungalow at the Pearl Beach Resort

Garden bungalows are set among lush gardens bursting with perfumed, flowering plants. Every resort offers something a little different with location, inclusions and ambiance.

Hillside villas are unique to the Hilton Nui Resort, the only resort on a volcanic motu. We stayed in one for a week and improved our fitness going up and down it's many steps.

Only 2 resorts have some rooms built in blocks (still with thatched roof). The Nui Hilton has a block of spacious Lagoon view suites, and the Maitai has several blocks of garden and lagoon view, basic rooms. Both of these are often on offer at good value Bora Bora prices.

Fantasy Island Setting

Bora Bora Island emerges mysteriously from a calm, blue lagoon, which is sheltered from the Pacific Ocean by a ring of small, coral isles (motus). Some Bora Bora hotels are situated on the main island, one is on a volcanic motu and others are on coral motus in the entrancing lagoon (with stunning Mt Otemanu views). You can see their locations on the Bora Bora Map.

If you stay on a secluded motu, getting around Bora Bora means catching your resort's shuttle boat to it's dock on the main island. Some resorts operate shuttles more frequently and some also take guests to the main village of Vaitape. At a few resorts this service is free, others charge.
