There’s a reason so many travellers dream of Bora Bora—and there’s a reason they choose the Four Seasons. Set on a private motu facing Mount Otemanu, this resort offers the classic Bora Bora picture: wide skies, glassy lagoons, and villas poised just above the water. But what makes it stand out is how beautifully it all flows. The setting is cinematic, yes—but the energy is calm, grounded, and full of warmth.
Overwater bungalows are spaced out for privacy and designed with a quiet confidence—timber walkways, high ceilings, soft local textures, and shaded terraces with steps straight into the sea. The beach villas feel even more tucked away, set among palms and gardens with private pools and plenty of space for families or longer stays.
Dining is refined but relaxed, with menus that showcase French Polynesian flavours, Pacific Rim favourites and the catch of the day done to perfection. Think just-caught mahi mahi sashimi at sunset, or wood-fired dishes served beside the lagoon with a chilled glass of Sancerre. For something special, private dinners can be arranged anywhere from a beachfront table to your villa deck.
Days here unfold gently. Paddle out over the lagoon, snorkel in the coral garden, explore the island by outrigger canoe or book into the spa, which sits above a tranquil lagoon with treatment beds framed by water and sky. Service is intuitive and genuine—the kind that remembers your favourite cocktail without ever feeling overly attentive.
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora is set on Motu Tehotu, a private islet on the outer edge of Bora Bora’s lagoon, facing directly onto Mount Otemanu. After landing in Papeete (Tahiti), you’ll take a 45-minute flight to Bora Bora Airport, where you’ll be met by the resort’s team and transferred by 15-minute private boat across the lagoon. The arrival is part of the magic—turquoise shallows, reef-rimmed motus, and that unmistakable silhouette of the mountain as it draws closer.

There’s something effortless about the way Four Seasons does space—nothing overdesigned, nothing too try-hard. Just clean, grounded luxury that lets the views do the talking. At Bora Bora, you’ll choose between overwater bungalows suspended above the lagoon and beachfront villas nestled among tropical gardens. Both are beautifully private, with natural materials, soft island tones, and that signature Four Seasons comfort that makes it hard to leave.
The overwater bungalows are what most people come for—each with sun loungers, outdoor showers, and steps that lead straight into the lagoon. Some include plunge pools, others have unobstructed views of Mount Otemanu, and all have space to fully unpack and slow down. Inside, expect soaring ceilings, timber beams, glass panels in the floor to watch the sea below, and large soaking tubs facing the water.
For those travelling as a family or simply wanting more room to breathe, the two- and three-bedroom beachfront villas are a standout. Set in their own enclosed gardens, they offer direct beach access, large private pools, full indoor–outdoor living, and plenty of space to gather and retreat in equal measure.
And while the setting is the star, it’s the quiet details that elevate the stay: chilled fruit skewers delivered to your deck, monoi-scented bath amenities, a beach buggy always ready when you are, and discreet touches like turndown gifts or your favourite drink appearing at just the right time. You can even have your breakfast delivered by canoe, if you feel like leaning fully into the experience.
Yes. The beachfront villas are ideal for families, and there’s a well-run kids’ club, plus babysitting services available. Activities like reef snorkelling, canoeing and cultural workshops can also be tailored for children.
Some are—but typically they’re best suited to couples. Families usually prefer the beachfront villas, which offer more space, private gardens, and their own pools.
Yes. Every overwater bungalow has a private deck with direct access into the lagoon. Some also include plunge pools for extra privacy.
Resort casual. Think light layers, linen, and sandals. Even in the fine dining spaces, the vibe is polished but relaxed.
There’s no fanfare when you land at Tetiaroa—just filtered sunlight through coconut palms, the soft shift of warm air, and that instant sense of having arrived somewhere that runs on its own time. This was once Marlon Brando’s private escape. Today, it’s home to one of the most low-key, high-standard properties in the world.
The St. Regis Bora Bora leans into scale in all the right ways—larger villas, expansive decks, and a sweeping location that places you right on the edge of Bora Bora’s impossibly blue lagoon. From the moment you arrive (by private boat, of course), everything feels spacious and cinematic: wide views of Mount Otemanu, overwater walkways that stretch further than you’d expect, and villas that genuinely invite you to settle in.
