The short answer

Our verified Bora Bora inventory is two resorts, each on its own motu (islet): Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts on Motu Tevairoa and The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort on Motu Ome'e. Both are hotel stays with villa and overwater accommodation, not stand-alone private villas.

Dated sample rates for 5–19 June 2027 (fourteen nights, with a two-adult search filter) run from $1,666 to $8,328 a night across 22 recorded options. These are dated samples, not live quotes or availability — each stay is priced live by the partner holding those dates, and checkout happens with that partner.

What each price includes

  • Le Bora Bora: breakfast in every sample

    All six recorded options include American breakfast; lunch ($55) and dinner ($91) per person a night are extra. Five of the six show a 15% discount in the capture. The Beach Villa with Pool (144 m², sleeps four, hot tub, direct beach access) is $2,195 a night ($30,735 for fourteen nights); the Royal Beach Villa (436 m², two bedrooms, three bathrooms, kitchen and pool) is $8,328 ($116,598). Minimum check-in age is 18.

  • St. Regis: choose the meal plan, and the cancellation terms come with it

    Each villa type was recorded four ways. Room-only rates are non-refundable with full prepayment; breakfast, half-board and full-board rates allow free cancellation before 6 May 2027. The Superior lagoon-view villa runs $2,035 room only to $2,373 full board; the 177 m² Premier Villa with whirlpool and Mt. Otemanu view runs $3,505 to $3,844. Only the two Mt. Otemanu-view types are recorded for four guests.

Getting there and the boat transfer

Air Tahiti flies from Tahiti to Bora Bora in about 50 minutes. The airport sits on Motu Mute, so the last leg to either resort is by boat.

  • Le Bora Bora: the airport boat transfer is compulsory and paid directly to the resort; confirm the current cost before booking.
  • St. Regis: arrange the airport boat at least 72 hours ahead. The listing's XPF 14,000 per person round-trip price is dated April 2019 — ask for the current rate.
  • Add VAT and the per-person nightly city tax before comparing totals; the two resorts charge different rates of each.
  • Both resorts list compulsory dinners on 24 and 31 December, charged separately.
  • Guest limits apply per option; a two-adult search filter is not the lodging's capacity.
