Set on a private motu ringed by Bora Bora’s iconic turquoise lagoon, with Mount Otemanu rising in the distance, Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora blends refined service with authentic Polynesian design. Expect thatched-roof architecture, warm lagoon breezes, and a resort layout that balances privacy with access to dining, spa, and beaches.
Fly into Papeete (PPT) on Tahiti, then connect on a short domestic flight to Bora Bora (BOB). The resort’s boat meets you for a scenic lagoon transfer to the motu. Your bags are handled from airport to villa; you simply enjoy the views.
The hallmark is the overwater bungalow: spacious interiors, soaring ceilings, and a private deck with direct lagoon access. Many categories look to Otemanu; some feature plunge pools. For families, beachfront villas add extra space, gardens, and private pools.
The resort offers a range from casual toes-in-sand to refined evenings:
Te Mahana Spa occupies a serene hilltop setting with sweeping lagoon-and-mountain views. Treatments draw on Polynesian ingredients and traditions—think monoi oil, vanilla, and local flower essences—along with modern facials and couples’ rituals. Yoga, fitness center access, and wellness classes round out the day.
The on-property Ruahatu Lagoon Sanctuary is a protected habitat and living classroom guided by marine biologists. Join a discovery tour, learn about coral gardening, and snorkel among thriving reef life. Select experiences even let you “be a marine biologist for a day,” contributing to reef restoration and education.
While a dream for honeymoons, the resort is equally family‑forward. The supervised Kids For All Seasons program (Tamarii Club) offers hands‑on cultural crafts, play spaces, and lagoon fun for typical ages 5–12. Teens gravitate to water sports and adventure outings. For couples, private dinners, spa suites, and catamaran sails set the tone for milestone celebrations.
This property blends privacy, polish, and natural drama. Between the Lagoon Sanctuary, hilltop spa, family‑forward programming, and unforgettable Otemanu views, it’s a dream canvas for honeymoons, milestone anniversaries, and elevated family escapes. Bookings through our links help support our work—and we’re happy to help you fine‑tune room choice and timing.
