Overwater life in the lagoon
A volcanic peak ringed by a turquoise lagoon in the South Pacific.
Bora Bora is defined by Mount Otemanu and the reef-fringed lagoon that surrounds it, shading from jade to deep sapphire. Overwater bungalows, coral gardens and warm island evenings set the rhythm.
Wake in a bungalow suspended above the lagoon with steps into the water.
Drift over coral gardens alongside rays and reef sharks with a private guide.
Circle the island's volcanic spire by boat or helicopter at golden hour.
Best time to goMay to October
A starting point, not a package — every day is shaped around you.
Transfer across the water to an overwater villa and settle in.
Snorkel the coral gardens and picnic on a private motu islet.
Take a scenic flight over Otemanu, then relax with a spa afternoon.
Enjoy a last swim from your deck before departing.
The drier, cooler months from May to October bring the clearest skies and calmest lagoon.
Fly to Tahiti, then take a short domestic flight and a boat transfer across the lagoon.
They are the signature experience here, offering direct lagoon access and uninterrupted water views.
