Further information
Dining
Three restaurants sit across the resort, each with a different mood. Otemanu, at the highest point on the property, serves breakfast buffet with lagoon views and Mount Otemanu as a backdrop, and opens for dinner under the open sky with a Friday Polynesian buffet and live show. Miki Miki and Poerava round out the options alongside two bars, with cuisine across all three built around international cooking with a French-Polynesian influence. Beach dinners and in-villa room service are available on request.
Gallery
The resort doubles as a showcase for Polynesian culture, with sculptures, paintings, and decorative pieces by local artists displayed throughout the grounds. The collection tells the history of the islands through the work of different Polynesian artists, and includes a series of tikis. A dedicated gift shop, Bora Bora Original, stocks art, fashion, and island-made pieces for guests looking to take something home.
Location
Le Bora Bora sits on Motu Tevairoa, a ten-minute boat ride from the airport and fifteen minutes across the lagoon from the village of Vaitape. The position gives guests both seclusion and straightforward access to the main island, with overwater bungalows, beach villas, and garden villas all facing Mount Otemanu across one of the South Pacific’s most recognizable stretches of 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 VacationSome 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 Snorkeling & Reef Trip
Tailor-made VacationYour 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 VacationThis 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 travelers who have already done Bora Bora, or who would rather skip it, in favor 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.
