The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort

The St. Regis Bora Bora spreads across 20 hectares of a motu in the lagoon, bordered by white sand, with villas on stilts over the water or on the beach and views towards Mount Otemanu. Overwater villas have glass floor panels, and St. Regis butler service looks after every stay.

From the pontoons you can snorkel into the resort's private Lagoonarium, a protected sanctuary of coral and reef fish, and the spa sits on its own islet in the middle of it. There are four restaurants, among them the overwater Lagoon, plus bars, two pools and two beaches.
