Le Taha’a Island Resort & Spa Bora Bora

  • Overwater bungalows: 48
  • Total rooms/suites: 60

 

Though this resort is not technically located directly on the island of Bora Bora, the Le Taha’a Island Resort and Spa is very much worth a mention as many of its bungalows have views of the island of Bora Bora from just over the water. Each overwater suite here is 969 square feet, which is about three times the size of a city hotel room. In addition each room features a kingsize bed along with a separate sofa bed that can be found in the living room area, making it so there is certainly plenty of room to spread out.

 

This resort pleases with 5 restaurants and bars, along with a rather long list of activities and excursions, so there will be no shortage of things to do for those who like to stay very busy. What you should note, however, is that the more remote location of this resort does make it a bit more challenging to engage in water sports and other activities on the island of Bora Bora. Because of this, it’s a top choice for honeymoon couples who are more interested in having privacy than partaking in any sports.

Conrad Bora Bora Nui

  • Overwater bungalows: 85
  • Total rooms/suites: 120

 

The Conrad Bora Bora Nui Resort might be the most famous hotel in the South Pacific these days, and this may be in part because of its secluded location. Not only is it widely considered one of the finest hotels in the entire region, but it was also featured in a few episodes of The Kardashians show.

 

Because this resort only houses 120 guest rooms, you might imagine it to be a smaller resort, but the Conrad Bora Bora Nui is actually very large and spread out. Guests typically find their way around by golf cart or bicycle, and there are plenty of hidden areas where privacy is possible. In addition to all of that, this might be the nicest Hilton hotel in the world, as thought by many visitors.

At this resort, each overwater bungalow is just over 1,000 square feet. This square footage includes a private terrace and the best views available that come through a glass wall in front of the kingsize bed.

  1. Interested in an over the water bungalow. We would like to be able to snorkel off of the bungalow. Suggestions??????????????????

    1. Gail,

      You can snorkel off the deck at almost every overwater bungalow in the world, except for a few of the cheaper options in Malaysia. That said, the best snorkeling in those same areas is usually done with a boat trip to a nearby reef. Since the bungalows are mostly over clear lagoons, there isn’t as much to see right under the bungalow itself. -Roger

      These photos are off the official resort websites, and some of those are offered in high resolution, but only a few of them. The resorts own the images as well. -Roger

          The plumbing is built in just below the floor. These rooms have everything, including A/C and cable TV, not to mention showers and baths. -Roger
