The name Bora Bora evokes images of clear blue waters with cute hut-like villas on piers in the middle of the crystal clear waters and the name Four Seasons evokes images of luxury hotels, impeccable service. When the two combine, what you get is the most unbelievable holiday experience you can ever imagine. The Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora figures in one of the best beach resorts in the world and really is a paradise in the South Pacific. Spread over 22 hectares, this luxury resort offers opportunity to laze off like a sloth, sipping your pina coladas, tanning near the infinity pool, immersing yourself in the rich local culture, or trying out adventure sports like outrigger canoeing, deep-sea fishing among others, whatever be your desire. There are 100 overwater thatched bungalows and 7 beachfront villas, made from igneous rocks brought in from the nearby Taha’s Island, and merbau timber. They have tried to retain a more natural look by using such building materials and by utilizing the abundant sunlight and seas breeze to reduce artificial lighting and air conditioning.
The view looks like something out of a postcard; the unending clear blue waters of the Pacific, the magnificent Mount Otemanu, and the lush greenery surrounding the resort. Every luxury resort must satisfy the taste buds too and this one does not disappoint. Their four restaurants offer an eclectic range of cuisines, from French to Polynesian.
