Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora

We have no words. This has been, without a doubt, the most incredible experience of our lives. We’ve traveled to many places and stayed at beautiful properties, but nothing has ever come close to the Four Seasons Bora Bora. From the moment we arrived, everything felt like a dream. We were met with a private boat transfer across crystal-clear waters, and Clara was waiting for us with the warmest smile. She guided us through check-in with such kindness it immediately set the tone for everything that followed. We were celebrating our honeymoon, and both my husband and I had our birthdays around the same time. We had inquired about a room upgrade were so close to taking it but decided not to go ahead. And then came the most beautiful surprise. As we rode the buggy to our room, we found out we had been upgraded anyway—without even asking again. They had gifted us the exact room we had been dreaming of: an overwater bungalow with a private plunge pool, perfectly positioned to face Mount Otemanu. I’ll never forget that moment. Thank you, Clara you made it unforgettable. The room was more than just a place to stay—it was a world of its own. Every little thing we could have possibly needed, even things we didn’t know we’d want, was already there. From adapters and sunscreen to snorkeling gear and chilled water by the bed it felt like they had thought of everything a traveler might forget. And the view… waking up for sunrise and watching the sky transform from our plunge pool, stepping out after dinner to float in warm water with the stars above us, gazing at the turquoise lagoon and those iconic mountains—we genuinely felt like the only two people on the island. The service throughout the resort was something else entirely. It wasn’t just five-star luxury—it was deeply human. Every single team member was friendly, warm, and present in a way that felt so genuine. Even though the resort was full, we were treated like a priority the entire time. There was never a moment we didn’t feel looked after. What touched us most was the resort’s respect for nature. The coral restoration project was so inspiring, and the resident marine biologists were always happy to share their knowledge. We loved discovering the floating pontoon and just spending time there, soaking in the serenity. There’s so much to explore within the property itself—gardens, hidden spots, and pathways that lead to beautiful, peaceful corners of the island. This place is a gem, and it’s filled with little gems inside it. Dining was another highlight. The Asian restaurant was absolutely phenomenal every dish was beautifully plated, the flavors were incredible, and the staff made the evening feel so special. One of the team members brought me a flower to wear in my hair, just because. That small gesture stayed with me. It felt like each meal was being shared among friends, not just guests. And then there was the spa… wow. We booked the Polynesian Signature Massage and it was amazing. . Even the views from the treatment room were unreal. It was peaceful, powerful, and perfectly in tune with the island’s energy. Every day at the Four felt like a new kind of magic. Whether we were snorkeling with reef fish just steps from our deck, paddling through the crystal clear lagoon in a kayak, or floating side by side on paddleboards while taking in the view of Mount Otemanu, it all felt surreal. Even when it rained, we didn’t retreat indoors. We were out on the pontoon, letting the raindrops fall around us, completely at peace. Rain or shine, there was always something to enjoy. We left with full hearts, misty eyes, and a promise to each other: we’ll be back. One day, with our future children, and hopefully for even longer. Four Seasons Bora Bora, thank you. You didn’t just give us a vacation—you gave us something we’ll carry with us forever. Lyn & Tarek

Our stay at the Four Seasons Bora Bora was nothing short of magical. The views were absolutely breathtaking — every angle looked like a postcard! The only thing we felt was missing was bikes to explore the resort more freely. Highly recommended for a honeymoon destination!

The hotel property was beautiful with a private lagoon for snorkeling and paved paths throughout the lush foliage. The over-the-water bungalow was fantastic with a view that can't be beat. Everything, and I mean everything, was top-notch - the crystal clear turquoise water is stunning, the sunsets were so colorful, the food was delicious and beautiful and the staff was very friendly, accommodating, and professional. Booking excursions was easy and we thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling with sting rays, manta rays and viewing sea life in the coral reefs. The beach and pool areas were large enough that we never felt crowded. The Four Seasons exceeded our expectations and we hope to return in the future.

We visited this hotel for our honeymoon with high expectations and every single one of them was exceeded. From the moment we arrived the staff were overwhelmingly welcoming and gracious, the setting was ideal and gorgeous, the food delicious, and the rooms and views stunning. We left wanting to immediately return and can’t wait to be back in heaven, the Four Seasons Bora Bora!

My husband and I celebrated our 30th anniversary from April 16–22, 2025, and it was absolutely magical! We stayed on the West pontoon (lagoon side) for the best beach views and close access to the beach and restaurants. Jumping off our bungalow deck was a highlight! Although the current was too strong to float every day as planned, evenings soaking in the view were perfect. If you're looking for nightlife or constant activity, this remote, peaceful resort may not be for you—but it was exactly what we wanted. From start to finish, the experience was 5-star. The staff truly love what they do and went above and beyond to make our stay special. The weather wasn't ideal (it rained every day), but we made the most of it—walking in the rain with umbrellas (provided), dancing in downpours, and enjoying games and movies from the concierge. We soaked up every bit of sunshine we could! Tips: Bring a raft—staff will inflate it, and you can leave it for others. Water shoes (or flip flops ) are a must; the lagoon floor has sharp shells. Kayak around the resort for stunning views. Drinks are pricey ($30 each), so if you want to sip in the bungalow before beach time, bring your favorites in checked luggage. There’s nowhere to buy alcohol on-site unless you take an $80 water taxi to Viatape, which takes up half a day. Walk the beautiful gardens, visit the spa for mountain views from the hot tubs, and stop by the chapel—both are serene and picturesque. We love scuba diving and booked a 2-tank dive with Eleuthera Bora Diving Center—they picked us up right at the resort, and the fun started immediately! The divemasters were hilarious and took care of everything, making the day easy and enjoyable. Our first dive was in the lagoon to look for manta rays. Visibility was poor due to the plankton (their food source), but it was worth it—we saw massive manta rays up close! The second dive was in the open ocean with much better visibility. We spotted blacktip sharks and a variety of colorful fish. While this isn’t the top destination for diving in terms of visibility or variety, we’re glad we did it—it was a memorable experience. The breakfast buffet was excellent and usually held us over for the day. The staff made us feel so special. They greeted us with leis and floral crowns and surprised us on our last night with a flower-filled bath. I felt like a queen! I also loved the beach bag and water bottle gifts—sweet keepsakes. This bucket list trip was everything we dreamed of for our 30th anniversary. Yes, it was expensive, but absolutely worth it!
