Adults Only Overwater Bungalows in French Polynesia (2023 Update)

Why We Recommend These Overwater Bungalows: Maitai Polynesia is a charming little resort in the south of Bora Bora by Matira Point Beach, 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 more expensive, but maybe unnecessary for many people frills – things such as a swimming pool, private airport transfer to the resort (though there is private transfer from Vaitape, and you can get there easily, and cheaply, by public ferry from the airport) and an excess of choice in terms of restaurants, bars and other facilities. For a lot of people this is an easy trade off, especially seeing that guests at Maitai have complimentary access to the facilities of the InterContinental just a few minutes walk away. Note: Maitai is placed in our adults only category as, though children can stay in some other parts of the resort, the overwater bungalows are strictly adults only. Overwater Bungalows & Other Accommodation: The resort has a nice range of options – overwater bungalows, bungalows on the beach READ THE REVIEW

Why We Recommend These Overwater Bungalows: Sofitel Bora Bora is an intimate, adults-only, private island resort with crystal clear waters and coral gardens just a two-minute boat ride from the southern end of the main Island, or a 30-minute boat shuttle direct from Bora Bora Airport. It has just 30 bungalows & villas and so is very much a boutique resort, and most certainly a place for peace, quiet, calm, and contentment. Especially given that the entire island is child-free – the only adults-only overwater resort in Bora Bora. Overwater Bungalows & Other Accommodation: This intimate oasis is particularly geared towards couples and honeymooners and so all its accommodation choices are doubles. There are two types of villa on offer; twenty classic overwater bungalows out on the lagoon and ten more private jungle lodges surrounded by trees and overlooking the water. Both are roughly the same size and at around 370 ft² are relatively small. They all come with king-size bed as standard though, as well as a living space, an outdoor terrace/sun lounge, and private access to the water. Expect all standard luxury hotel mod cons here and excellent READ THE REVIEW
