What’s been the number one destination on your bucket list? For me, it’s always been Bora Bora—and to be even more specific, the iconic Four Seasons Bora Bora.. This breathtaking island escape has held a top spot on my wanderlust radar for as long as I can remember. Having revisited a second time around, I can confirm it is as magical as I remember it to be!
Postcards at every corner
The idyllic palm fringed resort sits on its own little private motu and is best accessed by the resort’s private boat that will pick you up from the Bora Bora airport.

Dreamy views for days
Now let’s talk about the stay itself—absolutely unforgettable. The resort features two picturesque pontoons of overwater bungalows (each offering distinct views), plus luxurious 1-5 bedroom villa estates for families or larger groups.
There are two pontoons of overwater bungalows, with villas of different categories and different views. But all these stunning villas offer direct water access, panoramic views, and luxurious indoor-outdoor living. They blend traditional Polynesian design (thatched roofs, teak furnishings) with modern luxury.
Can never get over these magical pontoon walkways!
We stayed in a One Bedroom Otemanu view overwater bungalow suite and it was spectacular! The spacious suite was very tastefully decorated with a separate living room, bedroom and large bathroom. It also had an outdoor deck with lounge chairs, dining chairs, direct access to the azure lagoon and an insane view of Mount Otemanu.
Perfect agenda for a rainy morning in paradise

We also had the chance to tour one of the beautiful villa estates. These luxe beach villas range from 1-5 bedroom and come with private pools and lush gardens — perfect for families or groups.
FS Bora Bora has so many incredible dining options to choose from :
Tere Nui
Breakfast spot with epic sunrise views.
Arii Moana
Casually Elegant dining feat Mediterranean classics.
Fare Hoa
Casual beachfront dining with a toes-in-the-sand vibe. The Poisson Cru is the BEST I have had in all my trips to Tahiti! Its outstanding!
Private Dining
Think romantic dinners on the beach, in-villa service, or canoe breakfasts in your villa, or beach breakfasts at the lagoon edge. We did a Sea Sun Sweet Breakfast on one morning as well as a private dinner on our last night and they were both so memorable! Highly recommend these experiences if you are going here for your honeymoon or a special occasion.

The most romantic evening in paradise!
The main beach area in FS is a literal dream! Whether you choose to nap under the palapa, swim in the warm lagoon or stroll along the long picturesque sandy strip this would be a beach day for the books!

There is also a lagoon beach area, near the lagoon backwaters which is so quaint! I love love this little tropical spot. The resort has an incredibly biodiverse environment. The front of the resort faces the main beach and mountain while the back of the resort looks like you stepped into a whole other paradise. This is the tranquil lagoon backwaters and perhaps my favorite part of the entire property! Aside from the stunning scenery all around, it also had all the exotic reef fish and colorful coral!

The pool area is right next to the beach too and has these dreamy cabanas perfect for an afternoon siesta.

OTHER ACTIVITIES :
There are so many activities to choose to spend your time in paradise. They offer complimentary water activities like snorkeling, standup paddle boarding, canoeing, etc. The lagoon is incredibly rich in marine life and is a fantastic place to snorkel and make new friends with all the colorful tropical fish!

Other activities include – spa, fitness room, underwater adventures, sunset cruises, private excursions on the main Bora Bora lagoon and so much more. The concierge is super helpful and will help you tailor your vacation to the way you want it to be.
In conclusion, Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora truly is the epitome of tropical luxury. From the jaw-dropping views and serene overwater bungalows to the impeccable service and warm Polynesian hospitality, every moment felt like a dream. Whether I was lounging on the beach, snorkeling through vibrant coral gardens, or simply soaking in the view of Mount Otemanu from our deck, I kept thinking—this is exactly what a bucket-list experience should feel like. It wasn’t just a vacation; it was an unforgettable escape that blended natural beauty, romance, and adventure in the most magical way. I’ll cherish this trip forever, and I already can’t wait to return.
