Sit back and relax as your every worry melts away into the magnificent scenery and luxurious surroundings of the Conrad Bora Bora Nui Resort. This opulent venue combines a tranquil lagoon, mountainous landscapes, and one of the top 15 pools in the world, making it an ideal destination to book your next trip to Tahiti.
Flying over Bora Bora
Privacy is often a premium to identify, but look no further than this gem in French Polynesia for the ultimate in exclusivity. The resort is situated on its own island – Motu To’opua – with the private, white sand beaches you only dream about after seeing pictures. You’ll find that whether you select a Lagoon View Suite or Overwater Bungalow, the space is yours to soak up peace and serenity in the beautiful accommodations.
Presidential Overwater Bungalow
I booked the Presidential Overwater Bungalow and my expectations for a luxurious, palatial venue to experience Bora Bora were surpassed. Over 3,000 square feet of living space are found in this two-story villa set over the pristine blue lagoon. Two large bedrooms, three bathrooms, a sauna, expansive living room, three outdoor terraces, an outdoor dining room, and much more are found in the estate.
The Conrad has two of these villas at the end of the jetty giving the most privacy to visitors. These are also the only two story overwater bungalows in all of Bora Bora – which are perfect if you are planning to bring your family or visit with a group of friends. Plenty of space for all.
Aerial view of the Presidential Suite
The villa has its own private infinity pool, sauna, whirlpool, sunbeds, and more to experience the beautiful scenery of French Polynesia. Think about how your personal butler will ensure you have a fresh-brewed cup of coffee to savor the sunrise or your favorite cocktail to sip at sunset in this incredible villa.

The resort also offers an authentic Polynesian Dinner and Show, Ahi Ma’a Tahitian oven-in-the-sand dining experience, decadent Lobster Night, and destination dining at a number of venues available throughout the resort’s property.
Activities
Relaxing in the infinity swimming pool or napping on a lounge chair might be your idea of the perfect vacation, but this resort offers much more for those seeking a little adventure, recreation, or entertainment. Enjoy snorkeling, stand-up paddle boarding, bicycle boats, kayaks, and more along the cool blue waters.
Wanting to stay on land? Try a round of mini golf, tennis, beach volleyball, billiards, or Ping-Pong. The resort also offers “cultural activities” that you might only find in French Polynesia, such as a Ukulele lesson or learn “how to open a coconut”. In addition, the fitness center offers weights and cardio equipment, fitness classes, and personal training sessions available.
Spa
Between volcanic rock at the top of the hill, you’ll find the greatest views to dip into serenity at Hina Spa. Indulge in a traditional Polynesian massage, ELEMIS facial treatments, sensitive skin solutions, and more. Body treatments include a Vanilla Body Wrap, as well as a Tamanu and Aloe Vera treatment perfect for those battling sun overexposures on their journey. Guests are invited into the Hina Spa’s relaxation lounge to partake in a sumptuous sauna and steam room prior to their scheduled treatments.
