Undoubtedly the most celebrated island in the South Pacific, Bora Bora is French Polynesia’s leading lady. Her beauty is unrivaled and her fame, unwavering. Bora Bora is one of the few places on earth that everyone hopes to witness in their lifetime – and once you see it, you are forever enamored.
Bora Bora may feel worlds away, but this South Seas splendor is well within reach. Where is Bora Bora, exactly? The island lies just northwest of Tahiti, less than an hour away by plane from Papeete. The airport is located on a small, separate part of the island known as Motu Mete. Upon arrival, you will be greeted with a warm smile and fragrant flower lei and transferred by boat to your Bora Bora resort, meaning you hardly have to wait for your first encounter with the island’s famously translucent lagoon.
The inevitable love affair with this island begins right before you touch down. The view from the plane window is a moment you will not soon forget. Have your camera in hand as you begin your descent and prepare for the moment when iconic Mount Otemanu comes into view. From that point on, each experience will only continue to exceed even your highest expectations.
Bora Bora has become synonymous with overwater bungalows. Many of these lavish floating villas have glass floors that supply a window to the lagoon life below. This locale is unique in the fact that most Bora Bora resort hotels are built on their own tiny island, or motu, and visits elsewhere must be arranged by boat transfer. Not to worry, though, you will hardly need to leave your bungalow let alone the resort. From lounging on your own private deck and receiving room service via outrigger canoe, to indulging in a rejuvenating spa treatment, you will pass the time in quiet seclusion and opulent luxury.
Opened in March 2017, Conrad Bora Bora Nui is home to the first two-storey overwater villas in Bora Bora. Undoubtedly the most luxurious accommodation on the island, the two-storey Presidential Overwater Villa features two spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living area and three separate outdoor terraces featuring a private infinity pool, whirlpool and private dining area.
Conrad Bora Bora Nui is one of Conrad Hotels & Resorts’ 32 properties worldwide, located on a tranquil beachfront setting and boasting opulent villas and rooms, a Hina Spa and state-of-the-art facilities.
Rates at Conrad Bora Bora Nui start from AED 3,377 ($920) for a King Garden View Suite. For more information or to make a booking please visit the site or call +689 40 60 33 00.
