The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort
For those with fantasies of stepping directly into their screen saver or being a castaway on a remote tropical island — with all modern amenities, of course — The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort is the destination of your dreams.
With sweeping views of Mount Otemanu, pristine white-sand beaches and luminous blue skies melting into crystal-clear turquoise waters, the private island escape is like heaven. Not even Hollywood could create a better setting — the 2009 movie Couples Retreat utilized the resort as its primary filming location.
Villas and overwater thatched-roof bungalows, which originated in Bora Bora more than 50 years ago and ignited a trend in tropical accommodations, frame the property. And with a private saltwater lagoon, 24-hour butler service, multiple dining establishments and a full-service spa, the luxury resort ensures you’ll want for nothing.
So go ahead and order another mai tai and sink into your slightly submerged hammock — you’ll be here for a while.
- The St. Regis Bora Bora’s exquisite Lagoon Restaurant by Jean-Georges serves elegant French-Asian fusion cuisine while colorful fish dance beneath your feet.
- There’s no need to leave the resort to experience Bora Bora’s legendary snorkeling. The property is home to its own Lagoonarium, a protected underwater sanctuary with a slew of colorful marine life.
- Massages at The St. Regis Spa Bora Bora will melt away all traces of tension or jet lag. Make sure to book a service with Dawat from Bali and afterward partake in tea in the serene relaxation room.
- If you grow tired of the private pool outside your villa, make a splash at one of the other two swimming holes on the property, including one with a swim-up bar.
- You’ll always start your day with stunning vistas here, from the sparkling ocean views that greet you from your bed to the lagoon-side sights on display during your bountiful buffet breakfast at open-air eatery Te Pahu.
- For those arriving via Motu Mute Airport, head directly to the St. Regis kiosk where the welcome committee will ensure you and your bags are safely brought aboard the two-story boat that will take you to the resort’s private island.
- Transportation to the main island can be arranged with the concierge. Before you head out, be sure you know the return time for the last boat of the day.
- The focus of the Bora Bora hotel is relaxation rather than partying and extreme nightlife.
- In the off chance of inclement weather, the luxury hotel’s lounge offers an indoor escape with games, books and comfortable seating to take a nap.
- Starting at a generous 1,550 square feet, the overwater villas at The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort are among the largest in the South Pacific.
- Plush beds are well-situated in the villas to provide you with the benefit of waking to views of your private pool, palm trees and white sands.
- Bathe with nature in the outdoor shower in your huge private courtyard or unwind in the deep-soaking tub in your double vanity-clad bathroom outfitted with large walk-in closets.
- Don’t let the villas’ rustic appearance fool you. Inside you’ll find contemporary accommodations (hardwood floors, neutral tones, pops of chic color) with all your basic creature comforts (42-inch TVs, surround sound systems, air conditioning).
- High pyramid-shaped ceilings dominate the spacious rooms, and walls of windows offer gentle rays of sunshine throughout.
- The St. Regis Spa Bora Bora is an oasis within an oasis. It’s no wonder guests have wedding photo shoots here: it quietly sits on the private lagoon facing the mountains.
- Sculptures and artwork highlighting island culture by artists such as French-born local Alain Despert are tastefully displayed throughout the lobby and restaurants.
- Wall-to-wall windows and open-air public spaces help the resort make the most of its spectacular locale. Everywhere you look, you can take in postcard-worthy views of sparkling blue waters, jagged mountaintops and lush jungle.
- White wicker hanging chairs and hammocks dot the property, so you can cozy up and take in the sights from anywhere.
