Welcome to paradise.

Originally settled in the 4th century, the island’s name translates from the Tahitian to “first born.”  Lush tropical rainforests and its location at the edge of an azure lagoon make Bora Bora one of the most beautiful, romantic places in the world.

Le Méridien Bora Bora’s 99 tropically themed bungalows either perched over the spectacular lagoon or nestle at the edge of ivory sands, shadowed by tall coconut trees. Over-water bungalows feature a glass-bottomed floor, providing stunning views of marine life beneath the surface. Beach bungalows offer private beaches and hammocks. Savor the gentle ocean breeze as it wafts into your room, rippling the delicate curtains of your canopied bed. 

Le Tipanie restaurant features a different themed cuisine each night of the week. Swim with the turtles in the turquoise lagoon before heading to dinner to watch the sun set in all its glory over the water, with the silhouette of the imposing extinct volcano, Mt. Otemanu, towering in the background.

The Turtle Sanctuary at Le Méridien Bora Bora, an effort to help save the magnificent hawksbill, green sea turtles, is the only one of its kind in French Polynesia. The hotel offers educational presentations to teach guests about these beautiful creatures, and guests can swim with the turtles in the picturesque lagoon or even “adopt” a turtle and help in the quest to return these animals to their natural wild habitat.

Exhilarate your senses at the Kaïnalu Club, which offers traditional Polynesian outrigger canoes, jet skiing, sailing, feeding Blacktip Reef and Lemon Sharks and scuba diving.
