Choose Your Resort For It's Beach

Is this the best hammock in Bora Bora?

Bora Bora beaches are considered the most beautiful in the world, and the resorts have located themselves on some of the best beaches in the island. You may want to choose your resort for it's beach, as a lot of your vacation time will be enjoyed admiring it's pure, white sand and calm, blue water.

2. Stay for the Right Amount of Time

Coming on a Bora Bora vacation requires passing through the international airport in Papeete and taking a 45 minute flight to Bora Bora. This transfer time, plus the short flight, means that you will spend half a day travelling to, and then back from, Bora Bora. Keep this in mind when planning how many nights accommodation you want for your Bora Bora vacation. The perfect amount of time for experiencing the wonders of Bora Bora is 5 to 7 nights. If you stay longer, consider dividing your stay between 2 resorts as each Bora Bora resort offers a different experience in paradise. For those conscious about budget, consider spending only part of  your vacation in an overwater bungalow.

If you are coming to French Polynesia for a week's vacation, don't try to see more than one island. You will need more than 8 nights to fully appreciate Bora Bora and another island. Remember that one night, either at the start or end of your trip, will need to be spent overnight in Papeete for connecting with your flights to Tahiti.

3. Have the Best Over Water bungalow

Everyone, who has experienced the delight of an over water bungalow stay, raves about the experience. Many say an over water bungalow is an essential part of the Bora bora Island experience or a romantic Tahiti vacation!

Doing Bora Bora on a budget? Then book a beautiful beach bungalow. Even if you can't afford to sleep in an overwater villa for all of your Bora Bora vacation, have 1 or 2 nights in one. Jumping off your deck is so much fun.

4. Get the Best Deal on Your Bora Bora Resort

If money is the biggest consideration, base your resort decision on where you get the best deal. Common offers are stay 4 nights pay 3, stay 3 nights pay 2, the 5th night free, or 20 per cent off deals. Nightly rates between resorts vary greatly. Discover when to take a Bora Bora vacation to have the best prices.

Wondering how much a Bora Bora vacation costs? Generally, the lowest category rooms at each resort range from $200 to $1200. Here's a guide to Bora Bora prices.
