Further information
Dining
Three restaurants serve the resort, anchored by an overwater dining room with open lagoon views. The third venue is Bora Bora’s first sushi restaurant, making the St. Regis the only resort on the island with dedicated Japanese dining. Private in-villa dining is available through the butler program for guests preferring a more secluded setting.
Spa
The Iridium Spa specializes in traditional Tahitian treatments, drawing on local techniques and ingredients. Treatment options are designed around the natural environment of the islands, and the spa’s position within the resort gives access to the surrounding lagoon and gardens as part of the wider wellness offering.
Location
The resort occupies a private stretch of Bora Bora’s shoreline with direct access to a private lagoon used for swimming and fishing. The transfer from the airport is 20 minutes by boat, and the setting gives unobstructed views of Mount Otemanu across the water.
Bora Bora
Bora Bora is a small volcanic island in French Polynesia, part of the Society Islands archipelago in the South Pacific. The island itself is around 12 square miles, ringed by a coral reef that creates the calm turquoise lagoon the destination is known for. Mount Otemanu rises 727 metres at the centre of the island.

Our Experts
When I think of Bora Bora, I think of greenery, unspoiled shorelines, and inviting azure waters. It's one of the best islands in French Polynesia.
I adore Bora Bora for its deep Polynesian roots, vibrant customs, and friendly community, which together offer a truly immersive retreat.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.

The Ultimate French Polynesia Grand Tour
Tailor-made HolidaySome destinations ask you to choose one experience over another; French Polynesia does not. This sixteen-day journey moves through five islands across two archipelagos, each with its own character and pace, connected by short inter-island flights, a scenic ferry crossing, and a private boat transfer. You will begin in Tahiti, the territory's cultural and geographic heart, before crossing the Sea of the Moon to Moorea, where jagged volcanic peaks rise directly behind the lagoon.

Bora Bora Snorkelling & Reef Trip
Tailor-made HolidayYour journey begins on Mo'orea, where a turquoise lagoon shelters black tip reef sharks, turtles, and stingrays within easy reach of the shore. From there, you continue to Bora Bora, where Mount Otemanu rises over a lagoon best seen from a private catamaran, glass of champagne in hand. The route continues to Rangiroa, the second-largest atoll on Earth, where the pink-tinged sands of Vahituri catch the afternoon light.

Secluded Tahiti & Rangiroa Tour
Tailor-made HolidayThis itinerary moves through three of French Polynesia's quieter islands, each reached only by boat or short inter-island flight, and each rarely appearing on a first-time visitor's itinerary. It suits travellers who have already done Bora Bora, or who would rather skip it, in favour of a slower, less-photographed route through French Polynesia. The journey begins on Tahiti, where volcanic peaks meet a coastline still shaped by the island's original Polynesian settlements.
