Where is Bora Bora?
Bora Bora is part of the Leeward Group of Society Islands and is less than a one-hour flight from
Tahiti. The airport is located on a separate part of the island known as Motu Mete, where visitors are met upon arrival and transferred by boat to their Bora Bora Resort. We think you'll agree: It's incredibly refreshing to visit a destination where the transfer from plane to hotel is actually something to look forward to. Your worries will quickly melt away as you sail across the crystal clear waters of this tropical paradise.
The island of Bora Bora is famous for its overwater bungalows.
Many of these luxurious rooms have sections of glass-bottom floors or coffee tables, meaning you can enjoy the reflection of the glittering water against the thatched roof of your bungalow at all times, from all angles - sometimes even from bed! If your idea of a vacation is total relaxation, then you'll never need to leave your bungalow, let alone the resort. From lounging on your private deck to indulging in a
world-class spa treatment or receiving your room service via outrigger canoe, you'll quickly discover what makes Bora Bora so unique.
