ROOMS & SUITES: 99

Amid the sapphire sea, emerald forests, and ivory beaches, renovated bungalows and inspiring Turtle Sanctuary awaken the senses.

Bora Bora is a small island thick with coconut forests and colorful villages and surrounded by miles of fine, white sandy beaches and crystal clear, turquoise water as far as the eye can see.

One of the most original and intriguing hotel complexes on the island, Le Méridien Bora Bora is located on the southern point of Motu Piti Aau, a 10-kilometer-long islet on a coral reef. The resort offers unsurpassed views of world-renowned Mount Otemanu – at 725 meters, it is the island's highest point. We are also just 20 minutes by private launch from the airport and five minutes by boat from the main island.

Le Méridien Bora Bora offers six distinct categories of bungalows, all of them entirely renovated in 2010. Discerning guests revel in the authentic Polynesian feel while appreciating modern touches such as a direct-dial phone, safe, Flat Screen Television, CD/DVD/MP3 player, minibar, and coffee and tea amenities. Spacious, air-conditioned bungalows are approximately 60 square meters. While it is not possible to add an extra bed, all include a sofa bed to accommodate a third person. The bathrooms feature a full array of amenities plus a separate bathtub and walk-in shower.
