GO for an incredible spa treatment, followed by a soak in the salt-water thalasso pools at the Deep Ocean Spa at the InterContinental Resort and Thalasso Spa Bora Bora or try the new spa at Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Afterwards, enjoy a cocktail at the fashionable Bubble Bar at InterContinental Resort and Thalasso Spa Bora Bora, where trendy white lounge décor meets traditional Polynesian art and architecture. Arrange a private lagoon tour to swim with stingrays, feed black-tipped reef sharks and visit the pearls shops in the small town of Vaitape. But Bora Bora is primarily about relaxing, so don’t plan too many activities. You’ll enjoy savoring the island’s scenic beauty, especially the different-from-every-angle silhouette of Mt. Otemanu.

STAY in a luxurious overwater bungalow with a private plunge pool and feel like the king of your own thatched-roof castle above the water. You’ll feel more relaxed than you’ve ever felt while having a sensory awakening thanks to the magical beauty of Bora Bora. Choose a bungalow at the brand new Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora for they-thought-of-everything comfort with service to match and a dramatic two-story spa; the InterContinental Resort and Thalasso Spa Bora Bora for refreshingly contemporary design; The St. Regis Resort, Bora Bora for lush landscaping, a snorkel lagoon and the spacious overwater bungalows; and the Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort and Spa for its beautiful gardenlike grounds and traditional Polynesian overwater bungalows set on a shallow, easily swimmable lagoon.

EAT at Arii Moana at the Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, overlooking the infinity pool and beach, for contemporary Tahitian cuisine—or enjoy menu selections on the terrace of your overwater bungalow. Book an outdoor table at Lagoon, Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s gourmet restaurant at the St. Regis Resort, Bora Bora, where local seafood such as mahi mahi is the specialty but the kobe beef is terrific.

EVENT SITES The Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora offers brand new state-of-the-art meeting facilities set on its own private lagoon with indoor meeting room and outdoor open-sided pavilion with a private beach. The InterContinental Resort and Thalasso Spa Bora Bora offers conference facilities, a helicopter pad, and for romantic celebrations, an overwater wedding chapel.
