The St. Regis Bora Bora combines iconic overwater villas with world-class service and postcard-perfect lagoon views.
Location
Set on its own private motu in Bora Bora’s dazzling lagoon, The St. Regis commands views of Mount Otemanu that feel almost unreal. The setting is pure escapism: turquoise water, sugar-white sands, and a sense of space and seclusion, with easy boat transfers to the main island.
Rooms
The resort has 90 villas, including some of the largest overwater accommodations in French Polynesia. Interiors blend contemporary design with Polynesian touches: high ceilings, timber beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing the lagoon. Guests love the huge decks, many with private pools, and the feeling of living right above the water.
Amenities
Dining is a highlight, with four restaurants including Lagoon by Jean-Georges, suspended over the water. There are two swimming pools, a Clarins spa on its own little island, and personal butler service for every villa. We love the way luxury here feels generous and thoughtful, with staff remembering even the smallest details.
Activities
Snorkel or paddleboard straight from your deck, dive among vibrant reefs, or sail into the sunset. The concierge can arrange shark and ray encounters, island tours, or private picnics on deserted motus. For those who prefer to unwind, yoga, spa rituals, and beachside hammocks set the pace.
Sustainability
The resort supports marine conservation through coral restoration projects and sustainable lagoon management. It also reduces waste by cutting single-use plastics, sources locally where possible, and partners with Polynesian communities to promote cultural traditions. Guests are encouraged to learn about the lagoon’s delicate ecosystem during their stay.
