Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora sits on a sandy islet in the lagoon, with beachfront villas, overwater bungalows and the island’s best views of Mount Otemanu.
Our team recommends
The resort sits on a slender islet on the outer reef, on the northeast side of Bora Bora, about ten minutes by boat from the airport. A boat met us on arrival, and the staff took our bags straight to our bungalow.
We stayed in a One-Bedroom Mountain-View Overwater Bungalow Suite, along a pontoon with Mount Otemanu ahead. Under the thatched roof it is all teak and local art, with a lofted bedroom, and Champagne and pastries were waiting for us.
The bathroom has a glass panel in the floor onto the lagoon and a tub for two facing the view. Fill it and open the partitions to the deck, and it feels almost like a pool of your own.
Te Mahana Spa sits on the highest ground in the resort, reached by raised walkways over pandanus trees. Its heated relaxation pools look out to the mountain and to the ocean.
By the main pool, curtained cabanas go first come, first served, and we spent our last day in one. Kayaks are there to borrow for the lagoon.

From our guests
Our guests stay in a One-Bedroom Mountain-View Overwater Bungalow Suite, facing Mount Otemanu.
Our team recommends
For a pool of your own, choose an overwater bungalow suite with a plunge pool, such as the One-Bedroom Mountain-View Overwater Bungalow Suite with Plunge Pool. If you don’t need the pool, request the One-Bedroom Premier Mountain-View Overwater Bungalow Suite, which faces Mount Otemanu head-on.
The bungalow we’d single out is the One-Bedroom Otemanu Overwater Bungalow Suite With Plunge Pool, the largest of the one-bedrooms, with the bedroom opening onto the pool. With children, we’d book the Two-Bedroom Herenui or Poerava Overwater Bungalow Suites, each with its own plunge pool. For a longer stay on land, the Two-Bedroom Premier Beachfront Villa Estate adds an enclosed garden, an outdoor kitchen and a 14-metre infinity pool.
From our guests
Genuine hospitality from all hotel staff. The natural beauty of Bora Bora is breathtaking!
