Miki Miki Bar - distinguished above all others by its architecture, like the prow of a ship, pointing toward Mount Otemanu. It is definitely the best place to savour a house cocktail while watching the overwhelming beauty of the sunset across the lagoon, to the sound of a ukulele or Polynesian ballad, played by our talented musicians.

Le Meridien Bora Bora has an exceptional private lagoon, where you can discover three remarkable sights - the sandbank of Platax, the channel of the turtles and the coral garden.

More than 100 types of species can be observed: - fish with brilliant colours, corals with strange forms and surprising shells.

Le Meridien Bora Bora actively participates in the protection of these species. A special program has been implemented to ensure the successful future of the turtles in the ocean. In co-ordination with the Ministry and the Delegation of the Environment, a team is devoted to the care and treatment of the marine turtle. This care centre, situated in the heart of the hotel, is unique in the world.

Every year, baby turtles are entrusted to this centre where they will be assured sufficient growth for protection from future predators. The juvenile turtles are typically carnivorous, and feed on tiny invertebrate, plankton and fish-eggs. Adult turtles on the contrary are herbivorous.

Enjoy the opportunity to experience the turtles in their natural habitat where you may observe their feeding and their care, with complete respect of the environment  and the ecosystem.
