Best videos showing what Bora Bora resorts are really like

Here’s a video (5:45) of a couple showing us their favorite spots at the Bora Bora Hilton Nui Resort, and she’s a surprisingly professional host. We see various scenes of the stunning grounds, foot bridges, the infinity pool, the place where a key scene from the Bachelorette TV show was filmed, the wedding chapel, an outdoor spa area with a “million dollar view”, and the best place for sunsets.

This is a simple video (3:45) of the front view from a beach cruiser bike as this fellow rides from his overwater bungalow to the beach area on the other side of the resort. The lighting is fantastic and this video gives you a great sense of just how wonderful and spread out the St. Regis Bora Bora Resort is. You can walk everywhere, or you can ride the free bikes, or have a golf cart pick you up and drop you off.

Here’s a promotional video for the resort with aerial shots of the St. Regis Bora Bora from every angle, all set to a lovely chill-out tune. It’s hard to imagine anyone watching this video and NOT wanting to book an overwater bungalow there.

This 10-minute video is the perfect way to get familiar with the InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa (which is the newer and more expensive of InterContinental’s two Bora Bora resorts. It starts with clips of the boat ride from the airport, then we climb into a golf cart for a guided tour that guests receive as they check in. It ends with a tour of their overwater bungalow itself.

This 8-minute video is a collection of some lovely scenes at the Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, all set to soothing music. It starts with a brief tour of an overwater bungalow, and then moves on to beach and resort footage. It’s not exactly a tour of the whole resort, but it shows a lot and will make you want to book there for sure. The last few minutes are of the sea life, which is also inspiring.

Here’s a 5-minute video of a hotel tour by a guest who has just arrived. It doesn’t show the full grounds, but it does show the main parts of it. As lovely as the Sofitel Bora Bora is, you can see why it’s less expensive than the 5-star deluxe resorts on this page.

This 3-minute video shows off the renovations that were completed at the end of 2010 at the Le Meridien Resort in Bora Bora. Combined with the video below, you get a good sense of the place.

Here’s an edited honeymoon video from the Le Meridien Bora Bora, set to an uptempo ukulele song that probably brings back great memories after the trip. It starts out with a boat ride then a tour of the overwater bungalow, including some diving off the deck. Then we get views from another boat ride, followed by a little tour of the grounds, including the turlte sanctuary.

I couldn’t find a homemade video touring the InterContinental Le Moana Bora Bora, so here’s a professional promotional video of aerial footage set to somewhat relaxing music. It’s great stuff, but it doesn’t quite give you the idea what it’s like when you are staying there.

This is another professional promo video for the Bora Bora Le Maitai Resort, so again it shows it off beautifully, but still really doesn’t give you a sense of what it’s like to walk the property yourself.

Here’s another slick promotional video, this one for the Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort. There’s Polynesian music and lots of fantastic aerial shots that help make the place look amazing.
