The coolest resorts with overwater bungalows in Bora Bora

by Ingrid Berg, Hotel Researcher
Bora Bora is a dreamy destination with picturesque sunsets, crystal-clear lagoons, and stunning small islands. Let's look at our favorite overwater bungalows, where it is possible to spot stingrays and mountains from the window.
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora

Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora is luxurious couples retreat in a stunning natural setting. The resort has cool private overwater bungalows with scenic ocean views, blue lagoons, coconut plantations, and lush green hillsides. For extra pampering, I advise you to try delicious fine dining and indulge in a world-class spa with incredible treatments. I personally find this place a great option for a honeymoon.


InterContinental Bora Bora & Thalasso Spa, an IHG Hotel

The InterContinental Bora Bora Resort Thalasso Spa is another premier luxury resort on our list. There are breathtaking views of the crystal blue lagoon from its overwater bungalows. The good news is that each bungalow has a private plunge pool, direct access to the ocean, and an outdoor deck with a daybed and hammock. It is a very good place to experience the ultimate relaxation.
 

Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts

Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts has a very romantic vibe. The resort has modern and sleek overwater bungalows with stunning views of the turquoise ocean, Mount Otemanu, and captivating sunsets in the background. On top of that, the resort has gourmet restaurants, outdoor swimming pools, and massage treatments set amidst lush gardens and serene lagoons.
 

The St Regis Bora Bora Resort

The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort has the largest overwater bungalows in Bora Bora. Besides their well-known spa, there are plenty of activities like yoga, fishing, snorkeling, kayaking, or dolphin watching from one's room.

Nestled in a private cove on Motu To'opua, the Conrad Bora Bora Nui has Polynesian-designed overwater bungalows with private plunge pools, lush landscaping, and patios with cool views of the turquoise waters and direct ladder access to the lagoon.
