Description
Located in Motu Tevairoa, facing the island of Bora Bora, Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort offers a place to luxuriate in the peace and tranquillity of the magical surroundings, with unsurpassed views to the world renowned Mount Otemanu. Surrounded by islets in a necklace of coral, the hotel has been designed using largely local materials with elegant style and the result is one of French Polynesia's most indulgent resorts.
The resort has 80 bungalows, 50 of which are built on stilts over the azure water. These over-water bungalows have glass tables to view the aquatic life of the lagoon, a large sun deck and sitting area with direct access to the water. The Beach Suites offer a spacious lounge area facing the beach and a private enclosed garden with jacuzzi, while the secluded Garden Suites have their own plunge pools.
Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort has three restaurants serving delicious fresh cuisine created from locally sourced ingredients and meals can be enjoyed in various romantic locations around the resort. Tevaiora is the main restaurant and sits on a platform just 6 metres above sea level with the dazzling turquoise shades of the lagoon sparkling beneath it. There are also two laid back bars perfect for sundowners over a board game or a good book.
The Manea Spa combines traditional Tahitian architecture and materials with state of the art facilities. Exotic and invigorating treatments take place in the calming seclusion of stilted thatched roof pavilions set over a lake in the lush tropical garden and could not be more relaxing.
For the energetic, there are endless activities and excursions to chose from. The resort has a PADI dive centre which can introduce you to some of the most breathtaking dive sights in the world. There are also kayaks and canoes, snorkelling, parasailing, waterskiing, fishing and catamaran sunset cruises to name a few of the many options available. For those wanting to simply kick back and soak up the sun, spend the day by the beautiful freshwater pool which is shaded by coconut palms - delicious fresh food is on tap from the adjacent bar and restaurant and service is always accompanied by a warm Polynesian smile.
