About Four Seasons Bora Bora
The Four Seasons take on Bora Bora: overwater bungalows facing Mount Otemanu, a protected lagoon sanctuary you can snorkel straight into, and Polynesian rituals at the spa. It's the benchmark honeymoon address here, and it earns it, service is the differentiator. Best May through October, in the dry season.

Four Seasons Bora Bora
Things to know
before you go
The resort is highly self-contained on Motu Tehotu; travelers wanting nightlife or town access should plan boat logistics in advance.
The best fit is romance, milestone trips, overwater-bungalow seekers and travelers who value lagoon views more than independent dining variety.
Hidden tips
Ask about water depth and orientation if jumping or swimming directly from the deck matters.
Things guests wish they had known
Room orientation and water depth vary by bungalow.
Most dining and evening activity will be resort-centered unless boat transfers are planned.
Strengths from our research
Iconic lagoon and Mount Otemanu views.
High-service luxury experience with strong Reddit and review-platform sentiment.
Excellent romance and overwater-bungalow fit.
Other considerations from our research
Very high pricing makes value sensitive to room category and dining choices.
A small number of guest reviews mention wear in some bungalows, so renovated-room confirmation is worthwhile.
