Four Seasons Bora Bora: The Overwater Bungalow Perfected
French Polynesia's finest resort, honestly reviewed
The lagoon at Bora Bora is genuinely one of the most beautiful places on earth. The Four Seasons, perched on a private motu facing Mount Otemanu, makes the most of that setting with an intelligence and grace that few resorts achieve.

The speedboat transfer from the airport is 25 minutes across water so spectacularly coloured it looks like a screensaver. Then the Four Seasons dock appears, and you step onto a resort whose gardening department alone employs 40 people. The detail is everywhere.
Choosing Your Bungalow
The 100 bungalows divide into beach villas and overwater bungalows. For first visits, the overwater configuration — specifically, one facing Mount Otemanu rather than the outer reef — is the only choice. Category O2 begins at 125 square metres; the Overwater Suite at 360 square metres is among the finest hotel rooms in the southern hemisphere.
