Overwater Bungalow Resorts
Motu resorts
Luxury resorts on the outer reef islets, with overwater bungalows facing Mount Otemanu. They are the heart of a Bora Bora honeymoon.
Most of Bora Bora's top resorts are built on the outer reef islets, called motus, on the east and north sides of the island. They include Four Seasons, St. Regis, Conrad and InterContinental. The overwater bungalows extend out over the lagoon. Their living room floors are glass, so you can see fish swimming beneath you, and steps from the deck lead straight into the water for snorkelling. Many face the sunset over Mount Otemanu. Movement between resorts and to and from the airport is by hotel speedboat, and dining is very expensive. Peak-season bookings need to be made several months ahead. To control your budget, you can stay in a garden villa first and then switch to an overwater bungalow for part of your trip.
