Bora Bora is a Polynesian island located in the South Pacific and less than an hour’s flight from Tahiti. You can also get there via boat or cruise line. It is possibly the most beautiful island in the world. Listed below are the top five luxury hotel destinations.
The Bora Vaite Lodge
The Bora Vaite Lodge is much smaller and far less luxurious than the others on this list, but gives a more traditional feel to your stay. With rooms decorated in traditional Polynesian styles, there are plenty of things to do, including mountain hiking, diving, exploring the island with ATVs, and more. With direct access to the beach, this is the place to stay if you would prefer to spend less money and still have the same experience as anyone else.
Hotel Bora Bora
This hotel started the overwater bungalow trend. If you wish to stay in authentic and original Bora Bora, this hotel is your destination. Beach luaus and fire shows are performed at night, demonstrating traditional Polynesian culture. Bicycles are provided for excursions and while diving nearby, you can feed manta rays.
Hotel Maitai Bora Bora
Also located on the beach with overwater bungalows, the Hotel Maitai is unique in that it is surrounded by tropical groves. Lunch and dinner are served on decks and the beach overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean and its tranquil blue views. Being on the mainland has its advantages, as everything is nearby and you can explore more freely. It is worth noting, however, that the Wi-Fi is not free.
Hotel Matira
These luxury bungalows are located in tropical gardens just off the beaches. The beaches are used by locals and the entire area has a traditional feel opposed to the more expensive and exclusive private complexes of the larger chain hotels. With many local restaurants nearby and a breakfast tray provided in the morning, it may be easier to save money on food here than any other hotel on the island.
Bora Bora Eden Beach Hotel
The beachside bungalows at the Bora Bora Eden Beach Hotel offer many of the same thing as other comparable hotels on the island: free kayaking, stunning views, waterside dining, and traditional Polynesian atmosphere. However, it is their service that sets them apart. The staff greet you and the airport and provide you with leis. They then show you the way to the hotel. These little touches set the Eden Beach apart from the rest; and the Wi-Fi is free!
