Availability & Prices
  • Why We Like it:

    The 5 Star Le Taha’a Resort sits on a tremendously beautiful, secluded private islet between Bora Bora and the famous vanilla island of Taha’a from where it gets its name. It offers a delectable form of tranquil, laid back luxury and at slightly cheaper prices than on Bora Bora.

    Cheaper prices or not, for many Le Taha’a is preferable to resorts on Bora Bora’s main island anyway in that it has an even more remote, paradise island feel. And it is a small, intimate resort which feels more personable and less corporate than many others.

    This is reflected too in its architecture and interior design – the accommodation, and the resort in general, feels more traditionally Polynesian than most.

    Overwater Bungalows & Other Accommodation:

    Le Taha’a has 45 romantic, old style wood and thatch overwater bungalows above the islet’s crystal clear, bountiful waters, and a range of cosy beach villas with private gardens and plunge pools steps away from the beach.

    This is 5 Star luxury accommodation with all the conveniences you might come to expect but the decor is traditional Polynesian – displaying native woodcraft and some lovely examples of Tapa barkcloth – and so has a more exotic feel than many other resorts in the region.

    The overwater bungalows are all 969 square feet/90 square meters, in size and broadly similar but priced slightly differently according to the view they offer, with a view of Bora Bora and its iconic Mount Otemanu being the most expensive.

    There is also a small extra premium for the extra privacy of an End of Pontoon Overwater Bungalow which we feel is relatively good value.

    The beach villas are similarly priced to the overwaters but they are at least twice the size and so are worth a look. Their Royal Pool Villa is the most expensive accommodation in the whole resort but it is really quite special with roughly 2,800 square feet/260 square meters of space surrounded by its own private walled garden.

    Overwater Bungalow Prices:

    Check out all the details – prices, reviews and more photos, on their Booking.com page here and on their Expedia.com page here.

    Resort Facilities & Things to Do:

    Le Taha’a Island Resort has three restaurants and two friendly laid back bars with regular live entertainment – traditional Polynesian fire shows, dancing and singing for example.

    Le Vanille is the main restaurant and starts its day with a fantastic breakfast. Choices are wide with a variety of international, French and Polynesian food, and an impressive array of exotic fresh fruit.

    Later throughout the day you can sample incredibly good native seafood amongst other things. Le Vanille is a chic looking venue but relatively informal, for more fine dining check out Ohiri which offers highly rated French-Polynesian fusion from Wednesdays to Sundays.

    The third and final restaurant, Restaurant Le Plage, is a relaxed venue located by the resort’s main pool and is open daily for lunch.

    You can of course also order the finest of food, breakfast included, to be delivered direct to your bungalow or villa at any time.

    A number of tours and excursions can be organized here – helicopter rides and visits to local Tahitian pearl farms and vanilla plantations for example, but the main attraction is the incredible sea life.

    The resort is on a gorgeous coral reef – just snorkeling outside your overwater bungalow is impressive enough but a visit to the resort’s diving club can allow you to swim with sharks, dolphins, humpback whales, moray eels, hawksbill turtles and a huge array of fish. An incredibly memorable experience.

    You can also enjoy water sports such as kayaking, paddle boarding etc. Other facilities include floodlit tennis courts and a fitness center/gym.

    The resort’s delightful Tāvai Spa offers various treatments with locally sourced products including Monoi coconut and flower oils, reflexology and, especially noteworthy, traditional Polynesian massages.

    Children are welcome at Le Taha’a. There is no Kid’s Club as such but child minding services are available and children’s menus are offered at the restaurants.

    Resort Location:

    The closest airport is on the neighboring island of Raiatea, reachable by daily flights (45 minutes) from Tahiti International. From there it is a half an hour by private boat transfer to the resort.

    Another, more special option is to take a scenic helicopter transfer to the resort. This can be organized from Raiatea but we prefer to do it from Bora Bora Airport, a fifteen minute journey, as the views are even more wonderful.

    Resort Reviews:

    “Amazing. 2nd time we have stayed at this slice of heaven. So good I hated taking a nap for fear of not taking every waking moment in its natural beauty. This resort checks our boxes without fail:
    1. So quiet without many people. As parents of 5 that run a major business together, we love this!
    2. Views of Bora Bora without the commercial feel and price.
    3. Snorkel heaven right out your front door. Cruises come to this location just for the snorkeling.
    4. 5 star food and service in paradise. Breakfast buffet is our favorite. Try the Lava Cake and caramel ice cream. Amazing!
    5. Tuesday evening buffet and Luau with fire dancer. Great dancing and singing.
    6. Try the villa. We’ve done the over water bungalow but love the private pool, beach, hammock, office, outdoor shower, etc. Did I mention “private”?
    7. This little island is a treasure to explore. Jogging track with fitness room (closed for renovation).
    8. Highly recommend the Jet Ski Taha’a tour with visits to vanilla plantation and oyster farm. And swim with sharks! Amazing!
    9. Also loved the e-bike rental around Tahaa island. Hotel can arrange both of these excursions.
    10. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. Lovely people. Service is 5 stars!
    You won’t regret staying here.…”

    “This is an amazing property run perfectly by staff who is up to the task for a luxury property. Probably one of the best beach properties in the world. The level at which it is run justify the high price tag. Way superior to comparable Bora Bora properties due to the fact it is basically the only hotel on the island. Located on a motu near probably the best snorkeling in the world….”

    InterContinental Thalasso Bora Bora

    11.63 miles
    Category: 5 Star Luxury Overwater Bungalows, Family Friendly Overwater Bungalows, Overwater Bungalows for Honeymoons, Overwater Resorts with Spa, Overwater Bungalows with Glass Floor, and Overwater Bungalows with Private Pool
    Address: Bora Bora
    French Polynesia
    France
    Why We Like it: There may be a lot of competition in terms of luxury retreats in Bora Bora and indeed in the broader region of French Polynesia, but 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 Motu Mute Airport, and it is hard to overemphasize the extraordinary setting, with the craggy peak of Mount Otemanu towering above and the most beautifully clear turquoise waters you could ever imagine swaying gently all around. It also has consistently high levels of service, great facilities and a laudable commitment to eco-friendly and sustainability principles, all of which make it stand out somewhat from the rest and lend the place an extra exclusive feel. It is very much a once in a lifetime vacation venue, and smoothly manages to be both family friendly and ideal for honeymoons. Overwater Bungalows & Other Accommodation: The overwater bungalows and villas are in a choice position to enjoy the setting with their boardwalk jutting out right in the middle of the bay. They are also all exceptionally spacious; the smallest cover a minimum of 1020 ft² while the largest, the ‘Marlon Brando Suite’, comes in at a whopping 3465 ft². As you will see there is a great range of accommodation to choose from, most, but not all, of which are overwater. Of those that are overwater they come with glass floor coffee tables from where you can peer down into the coral reef and see all manner of exotic creatures. Many also have their own private, on deck, infinity swimming pools. The design and interior decoration are a pleasing mix of modern and traditional Polynesian and they have all the modern facilities and comforts you would expect from a luxury hotel: air-con, WiFi, cable TV, music system, refrigerator, coffee maker, mini bar, some lovely bathrooms with bathtubs and rainfall showers, as well as plenty of lounging and dining furniture both inside and out. Room service is 24 hours and you can expect the absolute best in service throughout the resort. As mentioned above InterContinental Thalasso makes READ MORE

    Sofitel Bora Bora Private Island

    11.88 miles
    Category: 5 Star Luxury Overwater Bungalows, Adults Only Overwater Bungalows, Overwater Bungalows for Honeymoons, and Overwater Resorts with Spa
    Address: Bora Bora
    French Polynesia
    France
    Why We Like it: Sofitel Bora Bora is an intimate, adults only, private island resort with crystal clear waters and coral gardens just two minutes boat ride from the southern end of the main Island, or a 30 minutes 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 room service. Concierge services are available too, and happy to oblige all sorts of requests. Overwater Bungalow Prices: Check out all the details – prices, reviews & more photos, on the booking page here. Resort Facilities & Things to Do: You can enjoy gourmet Polynesian and French food, as well as quality French wines (it has an extensive wine cellar), at the Manu Tuki Restaurant. It has a very lovely setting, with views over the peaceful lagoon, and of the towering Mount Otemanu away in the distance. Moving on from there you can enjoy some beautifully crafted cocktails, and other drinks at the cosy Mako Bar, which has similarly beautiful views from its wooden terrace and also serves food and snacks throughout the day. If you want to make any day or evening extra special all sorts of romantic extras are available, such as gourmet dining on the beach or sunset champagne evenings with traditional Polynesian dance shows. Private, bespoke arrangements can also be made, for the READ MORE

    Le Méridien Bora Bora

    12.03 miles
    Category: 5 Star Luxury Overwater Bungalows, Family Friendly Overwater Bungalows, Overwater Bungalows for Honeymoons, Overwater Resorts with Spa, and Overwater Bungalows with Glass Floor
    Address: Le Meridien
    French Polynesia
    France
    Why We Like it: The low key, 5 star resort of Le Méridien offers perhaps the best value around in terms of luxury overwater bungalows and villas in Bora Bora. It does not have the same show-stopping sense of opulence as some other nearby resorts; the St. Regis or The Four Seasons for example, which feature some really quite enormous accommodation, but though the largest overwater bungalows at the Le Méridien cover not much more than 540 ft², they are just as luxurious, stylish and well equipped. So if you feel having acres of extra space is not worth the extra premium price then Le Méridien is for you. One popular feature of most Bora Bora overwater bungalows are glass floor viewing panels which allow you to gaze directly at the colorful sea life in the waters below. Le Méridien gets extra points in this regard, boasting the largest glass floors of any resort in the whole of French Polynesia. Le Méridien is family friendly but has a relaxed, intimate atmosphere that is more suited to couples. You will also find it noticeably quieter than many of the other resorts, especially in the evenings, something which adds to the sense of a secret, romantic hideaway. Overwater Bungalows & Other Accommodation: Le Méridien doesn’t have the same breath of accommodation choices as some other resorts but what it has are classic overwater bungalows that are cosy and intimate, and blend traditional Polynesian design and decor with modern facilities and features, including the above mentioned large glass floor panels which cover most of the lounge areas. The resort also offers similarly pleasant beach villas and suites, all of which are, including the overwater bungalows, one double bedroom but most of which also have a sofa bed in the lounge area for extra guests if required. The outside spaces have seating and lounging furniture, as well as, in the case of the overwater bungalows, direct access to the water. King size beds are standard at Le Méridien and all of the accommodation is kitted out with modern necessities; AC, WiFi, mini bar, flat screen satellite TVs etc. Room service is 24 hours, there READ MORE

    St. Regis Bora Bora

    Category: 5 Star Luxury Overwater Bungalows, Family Friendly Overwater Bungalows, Overwater Bungalows for Honeymoons, Overwater Resorts with Spa, Overwater Bungalows with Glass Floor, Overwater Bungalows with Private Pool, and Resorts with Private Butler Service
    Address: St Regis Bora Bora Resort
    French Polynesia
    France
    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. You can expect to very impressed with almost everything, even judging by Bora Bora’s high standards. Overwater Bungalows & Other Accommodation: The resort is spread out over 44 acres which includes a private lagoon and various beach areas. The accommodation is a mixture of overwater bungalows and beach villas, all of which are extremely spacious; the largest overwater bungalows and villas in Bora Bora in fact. The very smallest on offer at the St. Regis are 1550 ft² for example, with the very largest being a quite magnificent 3960 ft². The design and decor are mostly traditional Polynesian; airy and with lots of wood. You will have a large bedroom(s) with a super comfortable King size bed, seating, closet space and a giant flat screen TV. The lounge areas have comfy sofas, another TV and a mini bar, and outside there is lots of deck space with lounging, seating and dining furniture, outdoor showers and, in the case of the overwater bungalows, private access to the water. The bathrooms are suitably luxurious, and large, too. There you have a rainfall shower, a deep bath to sink into and a choice of exotic bath salts and other pampering products. Another very nice feature is that all the overwater bungalows are equipped with glass floor panels in the hallway, living room and bathroom which allows some gorgeous glimpses into life under the water below. The overwaters come in various levels and prices as you will see on the booking page with the top of the range being their Royal Villas which are really quite magnificent and, surprisingly enough, are the only ones which have private pools on the deck. You have a private butler service at your disposal at the St. Regis and one of the best concierge teams around. They are particularly adept at arranging grand romantic gestures, for honeymoons or otherwise, via their ‘Romantic Concierge’ service, and they organize weddings too READ MORE

    InterContinental Le Moana Bora Bora

    12.33 miles
    Category: Family Friendly Overwater Bungalows, Overwater Bungalows for Honeymoons, Overwater Bungalows with Glass Floor, and Resorts with Private Butler Service
    Address: InterContinental Le Moana
    French Polynesia
    France
    Why We Like it: The InterContinental Le Moana lies along Matira Point at the southern end of Bora Bora’s main island and is, as the name suggests, a sister hotel of the InterContinental Thalasso across the lagoon which has a greater range of facilities, all of which guests at this InterContinental can access via shuttle boat. It doesn’t have the same broad choice of accommodation as its sister hotel and many will consider the Thalasso branch, as it looks directly across the lagoon at the towering Mount Otemanu, to have a more scenic setting. Intercontinental Le Moana also has an extremely idyllic location though it must be said, nestling snugly as it does between the gorgeous white sands of Matira Point and the lush tropical hills behind. It also offers equal amounts of luxury, service and style, and has an understated charm that may be lacking in the larger resort. Its smaller size, more convivial atmosphere, greater access to the main island and lower prices may just make it more preferable for many guests. Overwater Bungalows & Other Accommodation: The Le Moana, as mentioned, doesn’t have the same range of accommodation on offer as the Thalasso, nor are the bungalows and villas on offer as large. Their standard size is 560 ft² with the largest being only a tad larger at 670 ft². That being said they are just as luxurious and beautifully designed and decorated, and have a more intimate, cosy feel. So, if you don’t feel like paying premium prices just for extra space they will work out much better value. The choices are overwater bungalows and beach villas both of which are stylish and sleek, and filled with modern comforts, with the overwaters all coming with a glass bottomed coffee table through which you can peer down into the coral reef. They also have gorgeous views out over the lagoon and the nearby islands of Raiatea and Taha’a, a positive also shared by the beach villas which sit right at the edge of the powder like white sands. All luxury hotel standard facilties are here: air-con, WiFi, cable TVs, music system, coffee makers, refrigerators & mini bars, READ MORE
