Luxury resorts in Bora Bora are set on private motus (islets) and along the main island's coast, with room rates typically starting above $800 per night. Most properties cluster around Matira Point, Motu Tevairoa, Anau, and Motu To'opua. Expect overwater bungalows with glass floors, beachfront villas with plunge pools, and lagoon-facing infinity pools. On-site dive centers, Polynesian spa treatments, and gourmet restaurants serving local seafood and French cuisine are standard. Private boat transfers from Motu Mute Airport are included, but island-hopping excursions cost extra.
Among the top-rated options, Le Bora Bora By Pearl Resorts offers garden villas with private pools and overwater bungalows facing Mount Otemanu. The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort features two swimming pools, four restaurants, and a 24-hour butler service. The Intercontinental Bora Bora & Thalasso Spa specializes in deep-sea water treatments, while Intercontinental Bora Bora Le Moana Resort sits on a exclusive white sand beach at Matira Point. Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora has an infinity pool and guided snorkeling in a lagoon sanctuary. Conrad Bora Bora Nui occupies its own cove on Motu To'opua with a hilltop spa and hillside villas.
