French Polynesia is a French overseas territory comprised of just over 100 islands. It’s a tropical paradise and one of the top luxury destinations on earth. The first European travelers believed they’d stumbled upon something resembling heaven on earth. Marlon Brando did too when he helped put French Polynesia on the map in the 1960s.

Being such a remote collection of islands, your flight to French Polynesia might take a while, but it’s definitely worth it. You can travel between islands easily too – we recommend an island hopping adventure if it’s your first time in this stunning country.

Although many world-class luxury resorts have emerged in French Polynesia over the last five decades, it still feels like a little slice of paradise. You’ll find some of the bluest waters on earth in French Polynesia – when they say they resemble Gatorade, it’s no exaggeration.

The lagoons surrounding the islands are home to vibrant marine life and coral atolls, ideal for scuba diving and snorkeling. There’s also a rich culture to explore here too – music, dancing and art are vital to this community, making way for joyful days spent celebrating life in total utopia.

Bora Bora is where you’ll find the best luxury hotels in French Polynesia and most of them offer overwater bungalows: unbeatable for romantic trips. Here’s our guide to French Polynesia’s finest hotels. We’ve hand-picked the best hotels in Bora Bora that we receive incredible reviews about time and time again.

Best For Layovers: InterContinental Resort Tahiti

Flying to French Polynesia, you’re likely to land in Tahiti. To ensure your transfer to Bora Bora goes smoothly, it’s best to spend a night in Tahiti. Returning from Bora Bora you’ll definitely want to spend another night in Tahiti. So, we’d recommend the fabulous InterContinental Resort Tahiti. You’ll have the chance to explore the island of Tahiti itself.

This is the island Marlon Brando fell in love with when he filmed Mutiny on the Bounty. He bought the neighbouring island of Tetiaroa and built his famous hotel… but more of that later.
