The South Pacific is a dream come true for most vacation seekers. It's also heavily portrayed in movies, TV shows, and music videos. It used to be that only honeymooners and other romantic couples sought out this island paradise, but in today's world, more and more families are choosing the South Pacific for family adventure.

Even with this increase in family vacations, there are still quite a lot of overwater resorts that choose not to cater to families, especially those traveling with 2 or more children. On the other hand, there are a few resorts that happily invite families with children to stay in their overwater rooms. These resorts are spread out across the South Pacific and can be found on both Bora Bora and Moorea.

Family Friendly Overwater Bungalows

When research resorts, you’ll note that most overwater resorts cater to 3 or less travelers per overwater room. This sometimes means that families with 2 children either have to book a beach villa or change their resort choice to a different one. Luckily, there are a few overwater resorts within the South Pacific that do allow for 4 people to stay in one overwater bungalow for the duration of their stay. These rooms usually come with a king size bed and either another smaller bed or the option of adding a second bed to the villa. These villas also range in price and amenities, which helps to make it easier to find which one is best for you.

 

Excitedly, there are two overwater resorts in Bora Bora that have suites with 2 bedrooms, so you may have more options than you initially think.
