The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort

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.

I’ve done the Conrad in the Maldives along with two other properties in the Maldives. I loved it, BUT the level of attention to detail at the St. Regis Bora Bora is unbeatable. Bora Bora is already amazing and the St. Regis brought the magic of this island to another level. Location: This resort doesn’t feel like it impedes the natural environment. It feels like it’s part of the environment. The big blue Māori Wrasse, named Moana, is straight out of the movie Avatar. We made friends with another couple who had a turtle nest with a bunch of turtles directly in view of their coffee table of the see through glass of the floor. Rooms: From what I’ve heard, the St. Regis has the largest overwater bungalows in French Polynesia. I don’t need to debate this after seeing one. We stayed in the beachside villa since we’ve done the overwater bungalow before. The land villas feel like a full size house with easy access to the amazing lagoonarium or the beach. The living area was extremely comfortable and nice to play guitar in while my fiancée would get ready for the day. This literally felt like being home. The only downside was missing our dogs and family lol. Value: This is a top tier luxury resort. You will pay a good amount of money to be here. However, you absolutely will get what you pay for. I’m already planning the next trip here and making sure to extend the stay to at least 10 nights. Yes meals and drinks can be expensive if you don’t do at least half board. But everything is expensive in all of French Polynesia. The upside, there’s a free shuttle into Vaitape where you can grab sandwiches, snacks, drinks, etc to store in your fridge if you really want. I will say this much: every meal was above amazing. We were too full for dessert most nights. Each restaurant was kind enough to have dessert sent to our room for later in the evening. Not just in a box, but plated EXACTLY as it would be plated in the restaurant if we stayed to eat the dessert in the restaurant. Also before a full day of deep sea fishing, our butler Lydia made sure we could bring a box of food from the breakfast buffet with us in case lunch was not provided. Cleanliness: The staff, butlers, everyone kept the entire property spotless. This was one of the few times I did not see a single piece of trash in the ocean nor anywhere else throughout the resort. The turndown service ladies were exceptional. They remembered my fiancée was adamant about having bottled water. Even if I had the “DO NOT DISTURB” sign posted, they discreetly and consistently left extra bottled water for her at our door. Noise level: Apparently the St. Regis was FULLY BOOKED at the time of our stay. At no point did it ever get loud from our neighbors or anyone else. The beach felt lively but not crowded. To the left, right, front and rear of me there were always empty lounge chairs, cabanas, you name it. A couple of key moments that has me planning another trip next year: 1. During our first meal, my fiancée asked for limes and chili flakes since we both love spicy food. The server brought out every spicy condiment possible. She also made a note to make sure we don’t have to ask for the chili flakes for future meals. 2. SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO Shia or Shaya who was the organizer of our secret dinner. She goes above and beyond for guests who book a special dinner to make the experience beyond romantic. She recorded and took photos for us. She was also extremely down to earth and proud to share her Polynesian culture with us. I’m also Pacific Islander and my interactions with Shaya made me even proud of my heritage. Forgive me if I didn’t spell your name correctly! 3. Our butler, Lydia, was amazing! While giving us a tour of the resort, we mentioned having a floatie. Lydia offered to have ours inflated or to send one to our room. By the time the tour was over, we got to our room and there were 3 pool floats for us along with our luggage. She already knew my itinerary and kept all my planned surprises secret from my fiancée. 4. The Beach Boys! We picked out some lounge chairs and they set us up with towels, food, and drinks without any prompting. We made friends with other couples and migrated to the pool. We lost track of time and the Beach Boys offered to move all of our stuff to the pool. These boys worked hard to make this stay easy for us. I’m used to being the person who serves others. They made it a point for me to relax. In fact they gave me permission to chill out. St. Regis Bora Bora, my heart aches to be there again ASAP!
