The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort

Some holidays stay with you because of the places you visit. Our stay at The St. Regis Bora Bora will stay with us because of the people who made it so special. We came to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and from the moment we arrived, we felt personally welcomed. The lovely lady who checked us in already knew about his birthday. Her warmth felt so sincere, and the upgrade to an amazing Overwater Royal Suite Villa with Mount Otemanu View was a wonderful surprise. I wish I had remembered her name so I could thank her personally here. Our butler, Laure, deserves a very special thank you. She went far beyond what we could have expected, putting so much care into making our stay memorable. It wasn’t simply what she did, but how she did it—with kindness and a warmth that made us feel completely at ease. Olivier greeted us every day and always took the time to speak with us. A special thank you also to Lou, who had only just joined the team but already made such a lovely impression on us. Throughout the resort, everyone seemed to know our surname. Whether we were arriving for breakfast or sitting down to dinner, we felt recognised and welcomed. Those small, thoughtful gestures made a big difference: we felt that we mattered to the people looking after us. The surprise birthday dinner was an evening we will never forget. Shaya, thank you for looking after us so beautifully from beginning to end. Your kindness and that special dance will always stay in our hearts. 💕 Seeing my hubby so happy was one of the most precious moments of the trip. And to the manager who found us a table with a breathtaking view for breakfast on our last day I’m sorry I didn’t catch your name, but we certainly remember your kindness. Thank you for giving us such a beautiful final morning and for saving the chocolate croissant! 😉 It was the sweetest way to end our stay. Of course, Bora Bora is breathtaking, and The St. Regis is an extraordinary place. But even in paradise, it takes people with heart to make you feel this way. The team put their own care and personality into every part of our stay. To Laure, Olivier, Shaya, Lou, our lovely reception host, the manager and everyone who looked after us: thank you. We hope you know how much your efforts meant to us. We will remember the beautiful villa and the incredible views, but most of all, we will remember how you made us feel. It was your personal touch that turned a special birthday trip into memories we will carry for the rest of our lives. Keep up the good work—you make people’s special moments truly unforgettable.❤️

Our honeymoon at The St. Regis Bora Bora was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived by boat, we were greeted by our butler, Laure, and felt so welcomed and taken care of. We stayed in a Superior Overwater Bungalow - Lagoon view; the room was so spacious with a separate living area, large bathroom, and deck with chairs & table with direct access into the water. Laure gave us a tour of the property on a golf cart and the rest of our stay we either walked or used the bikes provided to get around. The property is extremely clean and maintained frequently. You do not hear noise from any other guests while you're in your room. The beach and pool areas are lovely! We also LOVED the onsite lagoonarium, the resort provides free snorkel gear for your stay and we made so many friends while snorkeling. Their star fish, Moana, is also easy to spot! We booked this resort knowing that the food would be well worth the value and it was. The Italian and Asian restaurants were both repeats for us - everything was fresh and prepared beautifully. The breakfast was also exquisite - you MUST have the french toast and stir fry noodles. We took advantage of the coffee delivery and signed up for a canoe breakfast. We booked our excursions before we arrived but you can definitely use the concierge service to book what you need; we recommend the snorkel / jet ski combo tour and renting a car to go to the main island of Bora Bora for a few hours! The resort also has onsite activities like flower crown making and wine tasting! We've been changed as travelers after this trip and will be St. Regis fans for the rest of our lives. Laure was a standout for us and truly deserves all the praise, she knew our schedule, continued to check on us, greeted us daily, and we felt like we made a friend while we were honeymooning. Special shoutout to Tetard as well, who jumped in for Laure on her days off. The St. Regis staff is top of their class. It was truly a luxury experience and we will be dreaming of returning for the rest of our lives.

Perfect honeymoon hotel. Dreamy over water bungalows

My wife and I visited the St. Regis for the third time since 2020 in early September, 2026. We booked with Claudia from Pacific for Less. Bora Bora is one of those places that will change you as a person and the way you view the world. We always said our honeymoon trip in 2020 was going to be a "once in a lifetime" trip, but now I find myself trying to find a way back every year! The St. Regis is by far the best place to spend your time in paradise. Aside from the spectacular, large resort, the staff are what set the St. Regis apart from all others. From the management team of Emmanuel and Camille, to our fantastic duo of butlers, Chloe and Lydia, the entire team exudes the pinnacle of excellence in hospitality. You can't talk about the St. Regis without mentioning the legendary Beach Boys: Temaiana, Ruben, Sovita, Hira and Tini! These guys have an infectious joy about them that will have you smiling the entire time you're around them. You'll feel like you have found your long-lost brothers (prahatas in Tahitian, as they taught me) after meeting these guys. Whether you just wish to swim in the lagoon, relax on the beach, paddleboard/kayak, or book an excursion, there's something for anyone at the St. Regis. As two very busy parents, we spent most of our time beachside just relaxing. We did book a half day excursion with Bora Bora Activities Center, as well as a photography session with Sadry Ghacir. Be sure to grab a pre-dinner cocktail at 727 Bar before dining at the amazing Lagoon restaurant. The Polynesian dinner/show is a must-do as well. At the end of your trip, you will truly feel like you're part of the St. Regis Family and will undoubtedly already be planning a return visit on the somber boat ride to the airport as you head to catch your flight to Papeete. If you're even halfway on the fence about booking this trip, trust me: DO IT! You won't regret it!

We stayed at the St. Regis Bora Bora for five nights, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived at the Bora Bora airport, everything was incredibly easy. A St. Regis host was waiting for us, helped with our luggage, and within about 15 minutes we were on the boat heading to the resort. The resort itself is absolutely beautiful. We stayed in an overwater villa and loved having our own space, the views, and especially the ability to watch the sunrise from our bed or our lanai. Our villa was one of the last villas along the property, so there was quite a bit of walking or biking to get to the main areas. We actually loved riding the bikes around the resort, but if walking or biking is difficult for you, I would recommend requesting a villa closer to the main resort area. One of our favorite routines was having coffee delivered around 6:00 AM. My husband would take his morning swim while I enjoyed the sunrise. The resort was so peaceful early in the morning. We also loved simply spending afternoons riding our bikes, relaxing at the villa, and enjoying the property. We took the complimentary boat/bus over to the main island one afternoon to visit town, which was a nice break from resort life. The Spa Is a Hidden Gem One of our favorite discoveries was the St. Regis spa. For approximately $35–$50 per person, you can use the spa for either a half day or full day. The spa is located in the middle of the resort's lagoon, and the snorkeling there was incredible. We originally booked the half-day option from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM, but enjoyed it so much that we extended it to a full day.We were practically the only people there for much of the morning. You have access to the lagoon, loungers, easy water entry, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, showers, and other amenities. It was one of the most beautiful and relaxing areas of the entire resort. Dining We had dinner reservations at the different restaurants throughout our stay and enjoyed watching the sunsets around the resort. The biggest surprise for us was the cost of food and drinks. Everything was very expensive, and several other guests commented on the prices as well. I'm not particularly a foodie, however we enjoyed the breakfasts and were happy with our dinners. Service The service throughout the resort was exceptional. Everyone we encountered was kind, helpful, and always greeted us with a smile. Our butler also made our departure very easy. He had our boarding passes and arranged our boat transfer back to the airport. Before leaving, we managed to get in one last snorkel and bike ride around the property. Overall The St. Regis Bora Bora gave us exactly what we hoped for — beautiful surroundings, an incredible overwater villa, excellent snorkeling, peaceful mornings, and plenty of opportunities to simply relax. The combination of the beautiful lagoon, bikes, overwater villa, sunrise views, and the incredible spa made this a very special part of our French Polynesia trip.
