New overwater villas

Adding to the already 80 overwater villas in place, the month of December will bring more rooms with the addition of four two-bedroom suites. These large suites will aim to impress with  3,229 square feet of indoor and outdoor space along with floor to ceiling windows throughout. These windows will allow you to claim witness to some pretty spectacular views, including that of the famous Mount Otemanu. You’ll also find a living and dining room, a relaxation lounge, an upstairs bathroom, an outdoor terrace featuring a lovely infinity pool and much more. Because of the rooms and their sheer size, they will claim the title of the largest private overwater villa in the South Pacific.

 

Because of Marlon Brando’s (the owner of the villas) vision of creating an eco-friendly environment, the overwater rooms will feature eco-certified wood, local miki miki wood and a native pandan leaf roofing. It should also be noted that each room’s air conditioning will be driven by extracting deep ocean water, making each villa extremely earth friendly.

Existing overwater villas

The InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa already plays host to 80 overwater rooms. These rooms are classified into 6 different room types, making it so that you already have a wide selection of rooms to choose from. These room types include the Diamond Otemanu villas which overlook the lagoon, the Diamond overwater villas that overlook the main island, the End of Pontoon rooms which offer views of both the island and the lagoon while also providing the most privacy, the Sapphire villas that overlook the lagoon, the Emerald villas that overlook the beach and a small island and lastly the Motu family suites that are nestled in a coconut grove and aren’t situated over the ocean.

 

Even though each room type offers a different view, their size and amenities are all the same. The room features include an entertainment center, a kingsize bed, a coffee and tea making area, a sitting area, a mini bar and air conditioning. Little extras include bathrobes, desks, voice mail, a hair dryer and complimentary newspapers. All rooms also include 24 hour room service.
