The Four Seasons Resort in Bora Bora is a cultural paradise. This resort blends the relaxation and tranquility of the South Pacific with the invigorating Polynesian arts of dance, song, cuisine, textiles, seafaring, and sport. The Resort combines the highest standards of service with Polynesian culture’s ease and gracious hospitality.
A vast tropical grove with coconut palms and pandanus trees is set upon Bora Bora’s surrounding coral atoll, away from the bustle of its mainland and other Bora Bora resorts. Meandering channels of pure turquoise waters teeming with marine life lead to the property’s main beach or smaller lagoons, creating secluded private beaches waiting to be discovered.
The Resort offers 100 overwater bungalow suites, some with a private plunge pool, and seven beachfront villa estates with indoor-outdoor showers, all designed with traditional Polynesian thatched roofs and decorated with indigenous artwork.
Four restaurants offering a vast selection of creative culinary experiences, from Polynesian to French to traditional favorites, are complemented by exceptional open-air dining, from private oceanside dinners to Tahitian beach parties with musicians and fire dancers.
A full-service spa, balanced by the powerful rhythms of the Pacific Ocean and the secluded tranquility of the island’s lagoon – and featuring an overwater spa suite – offers a combination of relaxation and exhilaration that only Bora Bora’s unique location can provide.
Set upon a sprawling 22 hectares (54 acres), the Resort meets a vast array of needs and accommodates various entertainment programs. Facilities for families are unrivaled in the region: a Kids for All Seasons clubhouse with a splash pad for children ages 5 – 12. Four Season’s connection with the island community provides a truly authentic Polynesian experience.
Local guides are available for many excursions, as is the Resort’s marine biologist, providing a wealth of learning opportunities about the lagoon sanctuary, whether scientific or cultural.
The architecture of Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora is the fruit of a unique collaboration that brings together the cosmopolitan flair of Paris-based architect Didier Lefort and the modern elegance of San Francisco design firm BAMO with the Polynesian authenticity of renowned South Pacific architect Pierre-Jean Picart.
The Resort was developed with the natural setting in mind, its installations designed to harness the location’s ample natural light and prevailing breezes to reduce lighting and air conditioning needs. The Island’s lush native vegetation includes some 100 mature coconut palms, and an on-site nursery nurtures additional native vegetation. Masons fashioned walls using volcanic stone from the neighboring Taha’a island, while interior pillars were made of Merbau timber.
