  Peace of paradise

  Have you ever anticipated a destination so eagerly that your excitement begins long before you arrive, only to find that the reality surpasses even your highest expectations? Such was my experience at The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort. From the moment I booked my stay, the resort’s proactive communication set the tone for an unparalleled experience. An advance welcome email assured me that every detail would be handled, allowing me to relax and anticipate the journey ahead. Upon landing on the island, I was greeted with a fragrant floral necklace, a gesture that immediately immersed me in the local culture and hospitality. At the resort, I was introduced to Tessa, my dedicated butler, whose attentiveness was evident from the start. Despite the rain, she greeted me with an umbrella, ensured my luggage was secure, and provided a brief tour of the property, highlighting the experiences that awaited. Demonstrating exceptional foresight, Tessa pre-arranged dining reservations at different restaurants for each night of my stay, enhancing my culinary journey. The check-in process was seamless, with two guest relations associates further personalizing my welcome and inquiring about any special occasions I might be celebrating. Then continue to thank me for my as a Marriott Bonvoy member. Tessa then escorted me to my overwater bungalow, offering insights about the expansive 44-acre property along the way. The bungalow itself was immaculate and spacious, inviting an immediate plunge into the crystal-clear waters below. Throughout my stay, every staff member exemplified warmth and attentiveness—from the room service team and pool attendants to those handling laundry and evening turndown services. Each interaction reinforced the resort’s commitment to excellence. For those seeking a slice of paradise where every need is anticipated and met with grace, The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort is the quintessential destination. My time there was not just a stay but a series of unforgettable moments that I will cherish forever.

  Can’t wait to go back!

  The St Regis, Bora Bora is a piece of paradise with an exceptional customer service, dining experience crafted by people who love what they do and locally grown ingredients. The check in experience was excellent with Kahais and Naga being so pleasant. Our personal butler Florina made our stay so special, she made sure to find us a few times every day to check on us and her personal notes with precious gifts at our Otemanu villa made us smile each time. We stayed at a 1 bedroom luxury villa facing Mount Otemanu - the villa was spectacular, being at the terrace was magnificent each time with turtles, stingrays, small coral fish, as well as bigger fish. It was well maintained, clean, and we couldn’t get enough of the ocean and the view. We went to snorkel at the lagoon with the famous Napoleon fish Moana and that was a wonderful experience as well. We felt welcomed, cared for at any time - everyone from Robert, our bellman to Renauii at Aparima; Poerava and Helena for breakfast and lunch; to Laura, Lucile and Antoine at 727 Bar were outstanding. The food selection is great and the choices of fresh local seafood was much appreciated! The Tahitian Octopus, the fresh daily fish, the mahi mahi, the Chef coconut fish specialty - all delightful! Next, Arnaud did a great job with the Champagne sabering and the dinner at the Lagoon after a few cocktails at the 727 Bar was one to remember. Eloise and Clement made it memorable for us and with the bottles of Tahitian wine the sunset over Mount Otemanu was a post card moment with the best pairing recommended by the best team! Finally, we will sent off by Laure from the butler team - you are lucky to have her and Florina! These two amazing ladies are what makes an elevated experience more special, rewarding and elegant! Such a pleasure to have met them, to have spent some time talking to them and to have had them be a part of our vacation! To everyone who helped us - Mauruuru and we cannot wait to visit again!

  Paradise found

  This resort is one of the best I have ever stayed at in my travels. From the moment we landed at the airport in Bora Bora we were met with happiness and glee at the St. Regis boat transfer area. We were given a lei and cold water and escorted to the boat to shuttle us to the resort. The ride was lovely and when we reached the resort our butler greeted us and took our photo with the famous skyline of the island of Bora Bora in the background. After a short tour (about 30 minutes) of all the major attractions of the resort we were taken to reception and checked in to our villa. As it wasn't ready (we took a morning flight) we went to the pool restaurant for an early lunch. We were doted over by the staff and the food was excellent. By the time we had finished and had some coffee our accommodations were ready. Our butler transported us via golf cart. The villa was magnificent. Over the next week we loved our stay here. The villa was large, immaculate and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The housekeeping staff was wonderful and turn down service was an added perk. The room even had life vests. We were also provided with two bicycles for transportation around the resort. There was taxi service via golf cart available at any time which made any inclement weather (rain) or our evening events easy to attend. It is lovely to just walk to destinations in the resort. We managed a mile or two each day. The spa was beautiful and relaxing. The lagoon was full of tropical fish with Moana, the huge Napoleon fish, being the star. We attended a lecture at the lagoonarium and snorkeling equipment is available. Fish food is also available to purchase at the resort shop. The beach and the pools were wonderful. The staff at both were great and very attentive. The restaurants were amazing especially the Lagoon Restaurant and the Farniente, which have been reviewed separately. The staff is amazing, and we felt pampered and special the entire stay here. We were sad when the trip ended and we flew back to Papeete. It was a definitely a trip to paradise. I can recommend this resort as one of the finest and hopefully someday we will return.

  Great childcare services through Bora Bora Chikdcare Service

  Traveled here with our family with 3 very young children. The resort concierge recommended bora bora childcare service for us when we inquired about extra help with our children during our visit. Maia arrived and all 3 of our children were instantly obsessed with her. She brought toys, educational materials and even a stuffed bee also named Maja! She was so attentive, playful and loving with them. Always one step ahead of whatever I needed from her and incredibly engaged. She’s a Montessori teacher and incorporated learning into all of their play. They truly learned to appreciate the natural beauty of the island because of how Maja incorporated learning in such an age appropriate and fun way. She kept them safe on our boat excursion and during all water activities. My children normally take a long time to warm up to new people but Maja was the exception to this. They still ask about her and when we were will see her again even though we have been home 3 months now! I highly recommend her services if you are visiting with children. She made our trip extraordinary and was so knowledgeable about the island and resort. My kids were covering her in hugs and kisses every day when we said goodbye and begging for her to come back right away.

  St. Regis is where you want to be in Bora Bora!

  This was the most beautiful experiences of our lives! St. Regis Bora Bora was beautiful. Everything about our stay was magical. We were treated like celebrities the entire stay. Our over water bungalow was huge and so romantic. We had bikes that made it so easy to see the whole resort. Snorkeling in the Lagoonarium was magnificent. All the restaurants were top notch.
