The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort

Spent a week in Bora Bora at St. Regis Resort with my wife. We were celebrating 25 year marriage anniversary. St. Regis lived up to all its expectations and then more. First, it is couples oriented place. Some honeymooners, but more celebrating older couples such as us. Hardly any children. Place is quiet, solitary, relaxed. Two pools are available and non crowded. One is adults only with four or five cabanas. Cabanas are situated in such a way that foliage around the pool gives a lot of privacy. Those cabanas actually have their private miniature pools. Very private, very secluded. Five restaurants if I remember correctly. The breakfast restaurant and four other ones (French, Asian, Italian, Gril). We ate at all of them. I’ll get back to them later. The staff. Guests are assigned a team of assistants that strive to make your stay pleasant and worry free. Upon check-in and greeting, our assistant took the liberty to reserve an evening restaurant for us for each night. We would run into the assistant periodically, often at a breakfast table where she would greet us by our name, ask about our day and plan activities for us. They do have the Concierge desk, but the assistant can do the same while you’re sipping your coffee. All the restaurants without any question were five start. The French restaurant was Michelin star place. They offer tasting menu - which is really no menu - and if I recall, my utensils were replaced about ten times. Huts are a treat. Just amazing. Upscale, comfortable, spacious, private. Outside, there’s of course a water and one can safely swim in. The outdoor space has ample privacy. I was impressed with St. Regis. The assistant was amazing. All the staff was extra courteous. The place is top notch.

Exquisite , privacy and luxury in one of the most beautiful places on the planet. If you visit Bora Bora you can’t miss this resort, and the spa. The spa is amazing with the best view of Mount Otenamu. Outstanding place. The beach is pristine and the perfect place to relax

We visited the St. Regis for our honeymoon and loved every day of our stay! Every part of the resort was luxury. The resort was very romantic and the overwater bungalow we had was beautiful, spacious, and was a lovely place to spend a week. The patio was huge and directly accessed the lagoon with views of Mt. Otemanu. Moreover, our room was the center of lagoon life with som many fish, eagle rays, turtles, and sharks gong past it (room 115). The resort went out of their way to pamper us. Our butlers, Josh and Chloe, made sure we had everything we needed and never hesitated to help. Additionally, they provided morning beverages every morning and had our clothes pressed each day, which made it feel like we were not traveling with wrinkled clothes. They even offered to unpack and pack our bags! (We did that ourselves.) The food was spectacular. We loved our breakfasts in Te Pahu and want to call out the service provided by Teva and Karen. they made each breakfast special. Their is a new chef at Bamboo, and the food was exceptional, which was nice since reviews from 6 months ago said it was not great. We met the new chef who is from Indonesia, and he is doing great things, and Charly provide great service. Lagoon and the 727 Bar has the most beautiful views, especially at sunset. It was a very nice fine dining experience. Lucie and Antoine provided great service, and Clement was an amazing sommelier. We spent many afternoons while it rained at the Apirima bar. Everyone there was so nice. Gaetan, Camille, Melissa, and Romearii provided excellent service. Arnaud and Alex mixed the best drinks, like Division Bells and White Negorinis. They were fun to chat with and told some very funny stories. The resort provided fun activities like champagne sabering and local wine/rhum tastings. Camille and Arnaud even let us do the sabering, so now we can impress our friends back home. Alan from Bora Bora Wine Tastings held wine and rhum tastings on separate days; he was a great teacher. We cannot forget the spa. It was extremely relaxing with saunas, whirlpools, and other amenities. We had the most relaxing massages there. Finally, the resort has its own lagoon that you can snorkel, which was a fun experience, including seeing their famous fish, Moana. it was also next to the spa, so we could shower and relax afterwards. Overall, this was a luxurious honeymoon, and the St. Regis lived up to the their saying of "Welcome Home."

Definitely a trip of a lifetime. By the time we left, we had traveled throughout the island and around it many times. We spent 6 nights at this beautifully located resort. We had a villa on the water overlooking the Otemanu. The staff was amazing and our butler, Diana, was personable and kind. Made our 30th wedding anniversary so special from a decorated bed, champagne and desserts. The concierge team did a wonderful job booking all our excursions: -A catamaran tour around the island on the Vitamin Sea II with Captain Thelma and mate, Jane. A relaxing ride, with snorkeling and a swim. Both were attentive and taught us about the island. -A hiking tour with Django, the local tour guide. A native and knowledgeable of everything Bora Bora, he did an amazing job taking us to breathtaking views of the water and the lush landscapes. -ATV with “H” who took us to more breathtaking views of the water and landscapes. And more island history. And a stop at the Bora Bora Masson Art Gallery. -Sunset boat ride with Mano who took us to different areas around the island before watching the sunset. Then dropped us to St. James for dinner. -Jet skiing with Miranew around the island and a special snack on the Motu. -Jeef Tour with Adolf through out the landscape. All tours taught us different things about the island and showed different views. Very little overlap. On the St. Regis property, we enjoyed the food everywhere but we really enjoyed Bamboo, Farniente and Te Pahu. Alexandre at the Te Pahu bar made the best drinks! The spa was relaxing and Dewa was a wonderful masseuse! Loved having bicycles to ride everywhere, the lagoonarium was an easy way to see some beautiful sea life and they had many options of activities to keep you busy. The buildings and pool areas could use a little refreshing. But didn’t affect our stay. Love that they have the movie Couples Retreat on loop since it was filmed there. Again, a wonderful trip and we are planning when we will visit again.

Our stay at The St. Regis Bora Bora was truly the trip of a lifetime. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we were completely blown away by the beauty, the service, and the unforgettable experience the resort created for us. The overwater villa was even more spectacular than we imagined — spacious, luxurious, and offering the most breathtaking views of the crystal-clear lagoon and Mount Otemanu. Every morning waking up to that scenery felt like a dream. The villa was perfectly appointed with thoughtful details, and the service from our butler team made everything feel so seamless and special. The grounds of the resort are absolutely stunning — everything from the lush gardens to the private beaches feels like it was straight out of a postcard. We loved exploring the property by bike, snorkeling right off the beach or at the lagoon, and simply relaxing and soaking in the views. Dining at the resort was also a major highlight. Each meal was wonderful. Lagoon Restaurant was an experience in itself — incredible food in a setting you truly can’t find anywhere else. What made the trip even more special was the warm and genuine hospitality from every member of the staff. Every interaction was so kind, attentive, and personal — we truly felt cared for the entire time. Leaving was so hard — we truly fell in love with The St. Regis Bora Bora, and we’re already dreaming about when we can come back. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
