Bora Bora's resorts are synonymous with overwater bungalows, turquoise lagoons, and dramatic views of Mount Otemanu. Most resorts are located on motus (small islands) surrounding the main island, accessible only by boat. Accommodations range from garden villas to overwater suites with glass floors. Expect nightly rates starting around $800 for mid-range options like Maitai Bora Bora and exceeding $2,000 for ultra-luxury properties like Four Seasons or St. Regis. Popular areas include Matira Point for its white sand beach and Motu To'opua for seclusion. Many resorts offer all-inclusive packages, but it's advisable to confirm what's included before booking.
