Best Luxury Hotels in Bora Bora
The islands of French Polynesia are incredibly aspirational holiday destinations, not least Bora Bora, the South Pacific idyll boasting white sands, palm trees and pure aquamarine coastline. It’s far-flung for those travelling from the UK, so is often labelled as a trip of a lifetime and chosen as a honeymoon destination. And if you’re coming all this way for a bucket list experience, you’ll want to stay in one of its finest hotels. These resorts will take your breath away and help you fall even deeper in love with this incredible island.
French Polynesia, Bora Bora
The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort
(5 stars)It’s exactly how you imagine paradise: staying in an over-water thatched villa on stilts, with the blue, fish-filled ocean visible via glass panels, 24-hour butler service, spa treatments and your own pool. Guests have access to the resort’s main pool with a sociable swim-up bar, a fitness centre and four restaurants. Lagoon Restaurant by Jean-Georges is the resort’s exclusive signature venue and the food is hard to beat anywhere on the island. Like many of the villas, it sits over the water, serving fish caught from the local area. If you’re in the mood for some fine Italian cuisine, eat at Far Niente Ristorante, or there’s Bam Boo with classic wok cuisine, teppanyaki and sushi.
