THE BEST Overwater Bungalows in French Polynesia in 2026

InterContinental Le Moana

Ronan McLoughlin — Mon, 29 Jul 2019 23:45:46 +0000

Why We Like It: The InterContinental Le Moana’s overwater bungalows lie off Matira Point at the southern end of Bora Bora’s main island. The hotel is, as the name suggests, a sister of the InterContinental Thalasso across the lagoon which has a greater range of facilities, all of which guests at this InterContinental can access […]

Le Taha’a Island

Why We Like It: The 5-star Le Taha’a Island’s overwater bungalows sit neatly off of a secluded private islet between Bora Bora and the famous vanilla island of Taha’a from where it gets its name. We find it offers pretty much the same tranquil, laid-back luxury as Bora Bora island but at cheaper prices. Cheaper […]

The Westin Bora Bora

Why We Like It: Formerly Le Méridien The Westin is a new Marriott overwater bungalow resort that was fully renovated and rebranded in May ’24. Even after this fine renovation for us it doesn’t have the same show-stopping sense of opulence and scale as some other nearby resorts; the St. Regis or The Four Seasons […]

Maitai Polynesia Resort

Why We Like It: Maitai Polynesia is a charming little overwater bungalow resort in the south of Bora Bora, by Matira Point Beach, and just below the InterContinental Le Moana. It offers the cheapest luxury overwater bungalow experience in Bora Bora. This might be possible because they seem to have pared back some of the […]

Four Seasons Bora Bora

Ronan McLoughlin — Sun, 28 Jul 2019 01:24:25 +0000

Why We Like It: The family-friendly Four Seasons overwater bungalow resort forms an exclusive enclave by the coral reefs to the northeast of Bora Bora. We found their overwater bungalows more modernist than most and they have the feel of luxury design apartments where everything feels crisp, clean, and new. All come with tremendous views […]

InterContinental Tahiti

Ronan McLoughlin — Fri, 02 Aug 2019 20:32:48 +0000

Why We Like It: The tropical gardens of the InterContinental Tahiti Resort & Spa lie just five minutes from Tahiti Airport and not much more than ten from downtown Papeete. The super convenient location means it’s a place where many people get their very first experience of a classic Polynesian resort and an overwater bungalow […]

Le Bora Bora Pearl

Ronan McLoughlin — Mon, 29 Jul 2019 20:50:10 +0000

Why We Like It: Just a ten-minute shuttle boat ride from Motu Mute Airport, and fifteen minutes across the lagoon from the town of Vaitape, lies the little island of Tevairoa – the wondrous setting for the 4-star Le Bora Bora Pearl Resort’s overwater bungalows. We have a total of 80 accommodation units here, comprising […]

InterContinental Thalasso

Ronan McLoughlin — Wed, 24 Jul 2019 00:41:10 +0000

Why We Like It: There may be a lot of competition in overwater bungalows in Bora Bora and indeed in the broader region of French Polynesia, but we think the 5-star InterContinental Thalasso Bora Bora is really quite a place. It is located on its own private island, a 20-minute boat ride from Bora Bora […]

St. Regis Bora Bora

Ronan McLoughlin — Sat, 27 Jul 2019 22:15:39 +0000

Why We Like It: The 5-star, St. Regis Bora Bora was the setting for the 2009 comedy ‘Couple’s Retreat,’ starring Vince Vaughan, an extra publicity boost that such a confident, sophisticated resort really had very little need for. Its overwater bungalows are stunning and we’re sure you’ll be extremely impressed with almost everything this resort […]

Sofitel Moorea Kia Ora Beach

Ronan McLoughlin — Fri, 02 Aug 2019 23:30:07 +0000

Why We Like It: The 5-star, Sofitel Moorea Kia Ora Resort is a private enclave surrounded by crystal clear waters and pure white sands near both Moorea Airport and the island’s main ferry dock which has regular ferries running the hour-long journey to and from Tahiti. It is a beautiful place, and if you’re coming, […]
