Best Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Hotels in Bora Bora (2026)

The Four Seasons occupies its own motu with 107 overwater and beach bungalows of extraordinary refinement — plunge pools, glass floors, direct lagoon access, and unobstructed views of Mount Otemanu across the lagoon. The resort's Te Manu Spa, multiple restaurants including Tere Nui, and the sheer quality of service infrastructure represent Four Seasons at its most masterful. The top global honeymoon address, and entirely deserving of it.

• Motu Piti Aau

A relaxed resort on the Tevairoa lagoon side offering overwater bungalows at somewhat more accessible price points, with the Maru Spa and lagoon excursions as key draws. The resort's proximity to Vaitape makes it easy to explore the island's village life and local restaurants — a distinct advantage for guests who want more cultural immersion alongside the quintessential Bora Bora overwater experience.

The InterContinental Le Thalasso on Motu To'opua is arguably the most innovative resort in Bora Bora — powered partly by Deep Seawater Air Conditioning, its over-the-water spa uses seawater drawn from 900 metres for unique thalassotherapy treatments. The overwater suites here are among the island's most spacious, and the lagoon-view dining is exceptional.

Le Méridien occupies its own motu directly across from Mount Otemanu with a lagoon on its doorstep and a distinctive feature: a sea turtle lagoon where the resort participates in a conservation and release programme. The overwater bungalows here are excellent value by Bora Bora standards, with strong lagoon views and a more relaxed atmosphere than some neighbours.

The Le Moana is Bora Bora's most charming smaller resort — 64 bungalows set directly on Matira Beach, the island's finest public beach. While less ornate than the motu-island mega-resorts, the Le Moana's Polynesian atmosphere, direct beach access, and genuinely competitive rates make it the island's best value luxury proposition.

The St. Regis on Motu Ome'e is defined by its exceptional Royal Overwater Villa — one of the world's great hotel suites, a 2,100-square-foot thatched palace above the lagoon with its own butler, pool, and cinema. For the other 87 overwater and garden villas, the 24-hour butler service, outstanding Lagoon restaurant, and Miri Miri Spa create an experience of consistent, personalised luxury.
