Le Taha’a Island Resort & Spa Bora Bora

Overwater bungalows: 48
Total rooms/suites: 60

Though it’s not technically located on the island of Bora Bora, the Le Taha’a Island Resort and Spa is very much worth the mention as many of its bungalows have views of the island of Bora Bora from just over the water. Each overwater suite here is 969 square feet, which is about three times the size of a city hotel room. In addition each room features a kingsize bed along with a separate sofa bed that can be found in the living room area, making it so there is certainly plenty of room to spread out.

This resort pleases with 5 restaurants and bars, along with a rather long list of activities and excursions, so there will be no shortage of things to do for those who like to stay very busy. What you should note, however, is that the more remote location of this resort does make it more challenging to engage in water sports and other activities on the island of Bora Bora itself. For this reason, it’s a top choice for honeymoon couples who are more interested in having privacy than partaking in any sports.

Sofitel Bora Bora Marara Beach Resort

Overwater bungalows: 20
Total rooms/suites: 31

The internationally respected Sofitel chain operates not one, but two resorts on Bora Bora, which just so happen to be across a single lagoon from one another. The Private Island resort here is only accessible by a short (and free) boat ride so it’s definitely the more secluded and exclusive of the two.

With a small total of just 31 total rooms which include 20 overwater bungalows, the Sofitel Bora Bora Marara Private Island Resort is small enough that the staff will give you as much, or as little attention, as you prefer. Over at the Marara Beach resort, across the lagoon, you’ll find facilities that guests at the Private Island can also use, so you get more options than you’d might expect from such an intimate hotel.

Le Méridien Bora Bora

Overwater bungalows: 85
Total rooms/suites: 99

Another resort that is part of a very large international French chain, the Le Meridien Bora Bora is a resort that is very popular among the honeymoon crowd. You’ll want to note when reserving, that this resort is only accessible via a boat. Because of this, you’ll find it has that exclusive feeling that guests are alone with their partner.

One of the exciting features of these overwater bungalows, is the large glass floor cutout in the bungalow. From this cutout, you’ll have viewing access of the lagoon below, without having to actually get into the water. You’ll also find that you can view the sea-life while resting on a couch, which is very conveniently and smartly placed. Due to a recent refurbishment, this resort is more modern than several with much higher room rates, so it’s something of a bargain.

Conrad Bora Bora Nui

Overwater bungalows: 85
Total rooms/suites: 120

The Conrad Bora Bora Nui Resort might be the most famous hotel in the South Pacific these days, and this may be in part because of its secluded location. Not only is it widely considered one of the finest hotels in the entire region, but it was also featured in a few episodes of The Kardashians show.

Because this resort only houses 120 guest rooms, you might imagine it to be a smaller resort, but the Conrad Bora Bora Nui is actually very large and spread out. Guests typically find their way around by golf cart or bicycle, and there are plenty of hidden areas where privacy is possible. In addition to all of that, this might be the nicest Hilton hotel in the world, as thought by many visitors.
