Description
The St. Regis Bora Bora is spread over 44 acres of lush landscaped gardens and powdery white sand beaches, with a magnificent view of Mount Otemanu. The hotel has brought a new dimension of luxury to Bora Bora - private butlers, an indulgent spa on its own island and simply wonderful food are just some of the elements that make St. Regis Bora Bora in a class of its own.
The resort offers Over-water and Beach Bungalows designed using local wood, hand-woven fabrics and regional art. The Over-water Bungalows are the largest in French Polynesia and some even have their own plunge pools and private swimming pools. Larger families can enjoy the open spaces of the 2 bedroom villas over the water or on the beach which are expansive and have private swimming pools.
St. Regis Resort Bora Bora has the choice of three restaurants, including an exquisite fine dining restaurant suspended over the water, a sushi restaurant, its ingredients fresh from the ocean, and a relaxed beachside grill with open kitchen. Private candlelit dinners on the beach can also be arranged for those wanting a little extra romance.
The incredible 13,000 sq.ft. Miri Miri Spa & Fitness Centre is set on its own private island and specialises in Tahitian and Pacific Rim treatments. Therapists blend the finest traditional and contemporary Tahitian and Pacific Rim treatments incorporating local beauty products such as pure mother of pearl and local oils.
