At a glance

Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts sits on Motu Tevairoa, a ten-minute boat ride from Bora Bora Airport and fifteen minutes across the lagoon from Vaitape village. Rooms range from overwater bungalows out above the water to beach suites with private plunge pools and garden villas built in traditional Polynesian style.

What sets the resort apart is the art. Sculptures, paintings, and decorative pieces by local Polynesian artists are displayed across the property, and a series of tikis runs through the grounds. The in-house shop, Bora Bora Original, sells island-made pieces.

There are three restaurants on site. The signature one, Otemanu, sits at the highest point of the resort, and Miki Miki Bar takes care of sundowners over the water. Between the Polynesian ownership, the architectural detail, and the five-star service, it offers something you won’t easily find elsewhere in French Polynesia.

    Location

    Motu Tevairoa sits ten minutes by boat from Bora Bora Airport and fifteen minutes across the lagoon from the village of Vaitape. The position balances seclusion with straightforward access to the main island.

    Overwater bungalows, beach villas, and garden villas all face Mount Otemanu across one of the South Pacific’s most recognizable stretches of water. The motu is private and the resort holds it entirely.
