Top 10 All-Inclusive Resorts in Bora Bora

*Published June 23, 2026 · Updated June 23, 2026*

Bora Bora is a meal-plan destination rather than a true all-inclusive one: almost no resort here bundles every drink and excursion the way a Caribbean property might. What the best lagoon resorts do offer is full-board and half-board packages — breakfast, dinner, and sometimes lunch — that you add at booking to turn an overwater bungalow stay into an effective all-inclusive holiday.

Our Best Overall pick for 2027 stays is the Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, which pairs the island's most polished private-pool bungalows with breakfast-and-dinner meal plans and direct Mount Otemanu views. Our Best Value pick is the InterContinental Le Moana Bora Bora, a smaller mainland-adjacent IHG property at Matira Point where dinner-and-breakfast packages cost a fraction of the marquee motu resorts.

Every resort below is real, currently operating, and bookable for 2026–2027. Plan on at least $1,000 per night for an overwater bungalow at the top properties, with peak-season suites running well past $3,000. The picks span ultra-luxury motu hideaways to honest mainland value stays.

1. Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora 🏆 BEST OVERALL

Type: Overwater luxury resort | Price: from ~$1,400/night | Location: private motu, northeast lagoon | Best for: honeymooners and service-first travelers

The Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora is the island's benchmark, with around 100 overwater bungalows and seven beachfront villas ranging from roughly 1,070 to over 3,200 square feet, many with private plunge pools and unobstructed Mount Otemanu views. The protected inner lagoon is calm and snorkel-friendly, and the resort runs a marine center alongside its spa.

While the resort defaults to room-only or breakfast rates, you can add a breakfast-and-dinner meal plan to approximate an all-inclusive stay. Multiple restaurants, an overwater spa, and famously attentive service make this the easiest choice when you want nothing to go wrong.

Pros:

• Best-in-class service: consistently rated the top property on the island.
• Private-pool bungalows: most units include a plunge pool and lagoon deck.
• Calm snorkel lagoon: sheltered inner reef ideal for swimming straight off the deck.

Cons:

• Premium pricing: among the most expensive resorts in French Polynesia.
• Not true all-inclusive: meals and drinks are an add-on, not bundled by default.

Verdict: The safest splurge in Bora Bora and the strongest overall pick for a milestone trip.

2. InterContinental Le Moana Bora Bora 💎 BEST VALUE

Type: Boutique overwater resort | Price: from ~$580/night | Location: Matira Point, main island | Best for: value-minded overwater first-timers

InterContinental Le Moana Bora Bora sits on coveted Matira Point at the tip of the main island, putting you within walking distance of Matira Beach and a short hop from Vaitape. It is the smaller, more intimate of the two IHG properties on the island, with traditional Polynesian-style overwater bungalows over a vivid lagoon.

Dinner-and-breakfast packages are available, and guests can also dine across the lagoon at the sister InterContinental Thalasso via shuttle. For travelers who want the overwater experience without the motu-resort premium, this is the standout value play for 2027.

Pros:

• Lowest overwater entry price: routinely the cheapest true overwater bungalow on the island.
• Walkable to Matira Beach: rare main-island location near shops and restaurants.
• Meal plans available: add dinner-and-breakfast for an all-inclusive feel.

Cons:

• Smaller and older: fewer amenities than the flagship motu resorts.
• Lagoon traffic: busier waterfront than the secluded private motus.

Verdict: The best way to sleep over the water in Bora Bora without a five-figure bill.

3. The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort

Type: Ultra-luxury villa resort | Price: from ~$1,100/night | Location: private motu, east lagoon | Best for: families and space-seekers

The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort boasts some of the largest overwater villas in French Polynesia, finished in exotic woods and built for groups and families who want room to spread out. Four restaurants and a beach bar cover French, Asian, local Polynesian, and Italian cuisine, and full-board packages are available to make dining effectively inclusive.

The signature St. Regis butler service extends to every villa, and a protected lagoonarium offers some of the best on-property snorkeling on the island. It is a strong pick when villa square footage and dining variety matter most.

Pros:

• Largest villas on the island: generous layouts with private pools.
• Four restaurants on site: the widest dining spread of any Bora Bora resort.
• Butler service: signature St. Regis attention in every category.

Cons:

• Sprawling layout: the resort is large, so expect buggy or boat transfers.
• High peak rates: villas climb steeply in the dry season.

Verdict: The top choice for families and anyone who prioritizes space and dining options.

4. Conrad Bora Bora Nui

Type: Luxury overwater resort | Price: from ~$1,250/night | Location: Motu To'opua, southwest lagoon | Best for: Hilton loyalists and sunset views

Conrad Bora Bora Nui occupies its own stretch of Motu To'opua, with overwater bungalows facing both sunrise and sunset depending on category, plus a hilltop spa reached by funicular. Five dining venues run from modern French at Iriatai to seafood and modern Chinese at Banyan and casual grills on the beach.

The resort's position delivers excellent privacy and some of the island's best sunset views, and daily-breakfast rates can be upgraded with dinner. It is also the strongest pick for travelers redeeming Hilton Honors points rather than paying cash.

Pros:

• Sunset-facing bungalows: a standout for golden-hour views over the lagoon.
• Five dining venues: broad culinary range without leaving the motu.
• Points value: redeemable on Hilton Honors at competitive rates.

Cons:

• Steep terrain: hilltop spa and some facilities require the funicular.
• Meals not bundled: dinner is an add-on to most rate plans.

Verdict: A polished, privacy-first motu resort that shines for Hilton members and sunset chasers.

5. InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa

Type: Overwater resort with thalasso spa | Price: from ~$1,000/night | Location: Motu Piti Aau, east lagoon | Best for: spa lovers and dramatic Otemanu views

The InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa sits on Motu Piti Aau with full-frontal Mount Otemanu views and an overwater spa cooled by deep-lagoon seawater — the only thalasso spa of its kind on the island. All accommodations are overwater bungalows and villas, and the resort uses an innovative cold-water air-conditioning system drawn from the lagoon depths.

Dinner-and-breakfast packages are offered, and guests can move between this property and Le Moana on Matira Point. The combination of dramatic mountain views and a destination spa makes it a favorite for wellness-focused stays.

Pros:

• Best Otemanu views: clear, head-on sightlines to the iconic peak.
• Overwater thalasso spa: unique seawater spa experience on the island.
• All overwater inventory: no garden rooms — every guest is over the lagoon.

Cons:

• Boat-only access: the motu location means a transfer for every off-resort trip.
• Add-on dining: all-inclusive feel requires buying the meal plan.

Verdict: The wellness traveler's pick, with the most dramatic mountain views of any motu resort.

6. The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa

Type: Renovated overwater resort | Price: from ~$660/night | Location: Motu Tape, near Vaitape | Best for: modern design and Marriott members

Formerly Le Méridien, The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa reopened on Motu Tape after a full renovation, with 128 overwater bungalows — many featuring glass floors — and 14 beachside villas. The property runs the Eco-Center Bora Bora, a sea-turtle conservation and rehabilitation center that guests can visit, plus a Heavenly Spa by Westin.

Its proximity to Vaitape makes airport and village access easy, and the fresh, contemporary design feels newer than most of its competitors. Meal plans can be added, and Marriott Bonvoy members will find strong redemption value here.

Pros:

• Recently renovated: among the most modern interiors on the island.
• Sea-turtle eco-center: on-site conservation program guests can engage with.
• Glass-floor bungalows: watch the lagoon directly beneath your room.

Cons:

• Lagoon visibility varies: some bungalows face calmer, less colorful water.
• Meals à la carte by default: full-board is an upgrade, not standard.

Verdict: A strong mid-luxury choice that blends modern design with Bonvoy value.

7. Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts

Type: Polynesian-owned overwater resort | Price: from ~$780/night | Location: Motu Tevairoa, near airport | Best for: authentic local hospitality

Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts is an 80-bungalow property on Motu Tevairoa, a ten-minute boat ride from the airport, offering spectacular Mount Otemanu views and the locally run Manea Spa. As part of the French Polynesian Pearl Resorts group, it leans into authentic island hospitality and cuisine.

Breakfast is included with all reservations, and dinner plans can be added for a fuller board. The mid-tier pricing and genuine Polynesian feel make it a favorite for travelers who want luxury without the global-chain gloss.

Pros:

• Fewer dining venues: smaller restaurant lineup than the chain flagships.

Verdict: The best blend of authentic island character and overwater comfort at a fair price.

8. Sofitel Bora Bora Marara Beach Resort

Type: Beach and overwater resort | Price: from ~$330/night | Location: main island, white-sand beach | Best for: classic Sofitel comfort at lower rates

The Sofitel Bora Bora Marara Beach Resort sits on a white-sand beach on the main island, with 55 bungalows in a colorful contemporary style scattered across garden, beach, and lagoon settings. Its mainland location keeps prices well below the motu resorts while still delivering Sofitel's French-hospitality polish and a snorkel-friendly house reef.

Half-board and meal-plan options are available at booking, and guests can pair stays with the boutique Sofitel Private Island across the channel when it is operating. It is a smart pick for travelers who want a recognized luxury brand without overwater-flagship prices.

Pros:

• Strong value for a Sofitel: mainland rates undercut the motu resorts.
• Walk-in beach and reef: good snorkeling steps from the sand.
• Meal plans offered: half-board available to approach all-inclusive.

Cons:

• Smaller and dated: fewer modern amenities than newer flagships.
• Limited overwater inventory: most bungalows are garden or beach category.

Verdict: A well-priced branded option for travelers who don't need a private motu.

9. Maitai Polynesia Bora Bora

Type: Mid-range beach resort | Price: from ~$230/night | Location: near Matira Beach, main island | Best for: budget-conscious overwater dabblers

Maitai Polynesia Bora Bora is set in tropical gardens near Matira Beach, with rooms split between a hillside garden section and a beachfront stretch that includes a limited number of overwater bungalows. Two restaurants and a bar handle dining, and the property is known for friendly hospitality and genuine value.

Half-board packages are available, making this one of the few ways to get an overwater night and a meal plan for a moderate budget. It is the honest middle-ground choice between the splashy resorts and a basic guesthouse.

Pros:

• Real value: among the lowest-priced resorts with overwater bungalows.
• Matira Beach access: steps from the island's best public beach.
• Half-board option: add meals to keep total costs predictable.

Cons:

Verdict: The pragmatic pick for travelers who want Bora Bora on a real-world budget.

10. Hotel Royal Bora Bora

Type: Boutique mountainside hotel | Price: from ~$200/night | Location: hillside, main island | Best for: independent travelers and explorers

Hotel Royal Bora Bora is a small mountainside property on the main island, offering simple, comfortable rooms with breakfast included and easy access to a rental car or scooter for exploring. It trades overwater glamour for affordability and the freedom to roam the island at your own pace.

This is the budget anchor of the list — best for travelers who plan to spend their days on excursions, snorkel trips, and beach time rather than lounging on a private deck. Pair it with day passes to the beach clubs of the bigger resorts for a balanced trip.

Pros:

• Lowest price on the list: by far the most affordable real option.
• Breakfast included: baseline meal built into the rate.
• Independence: ideal base for self-guided island exploration.

Cons:

• No overwater bungalows: mountainside rooms, not lagoon decks.
• No resort dining scene: you will eat off-property most nights.

Verdict: The bargain base camp for active travelers who'd rather spend on excursions than rooms.
