Bora Bora, dubbed the “Pearl of the Pacific,” is a dream destination for travelers seeking unparalleled beauty, luxurious accommodations, and unforgettable experiences.
Nestled within the clearest turquoise waters of the French Polynesia, Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora stands out as a premier family-friendly escape sought-after by visitors worldwide. This idyllic retreat offers not only stunning scenery but also a wealth of activities and amenities that make it a top choice for families looking to create lasting memories together.
Luxurious Overwater Bungalows and Villas
One of the most iconic aspects of a stay at Four Seasons Bora Bora is the opportunity to experience its luxurious overwater bungalows and beachfront villas.
The spacious bungalows, many featuring private pools and expansive decks, offer breathtaking views of the lagoon and the majestic Mount Otemanu.
Families can enjoy the thrill of stepping directly from their bungalow into the crystal-clear waters below, where colorful fish and vibrant coral reefs await exploration.
You know that jump you’ve been dreaming of off the dock of your private abode? Well, that dream will become a reality as your posse plunges off your overwater accommodations. Swimming right from your accommodation becomes a daily adventure, making it easy to explore the underwater beauty of Bora Bora (you’ll likely spot turtles and eagle rays).
Bungalow amenities include spacious living areas, multiple bedrooms, glass-bottom bathrooms, and plush amenities ensuring comfort for the entire family.
Kid-Friendly Activities
Four Seasons Bora Bora goes above and beyond to cater to families, offering a range of entertaining and engaging age-appropriate activities for children. The resort’s Kids for All Seasons program provides a supervised environment for children allowing parents some well-deserved R&R. Activities include arts and crafts, nature walks, sports, swimming, snacking and traditional Polynesian immersions, such as dance lessons.
For older kids and teens, the resort offers adventurous options like paddle boarding and jet skiing. Families can also partake in guided snorkeling trips to wondrous coral gardens or embark on a private boat tour of the lagoon. These experiences foster a sense of adventure and appreciation for the environment. Snorkeling is available via the property’s enclosed lagoon (and totally safe- sharks cannot access it).
Cultural Experiences
Bora Bora is not only about stunning landscapes; it is also rich in culture and tradition. The Four Seasons provides guests with opportunities to immerse themselves in the local culture through various programs and experiences. For example, you can participate in traditional Polynesian cooking classes and learn about local customs.
Esteemed Dining Experiences
Property dining is a treat for the senses, with a variety of options that cater to every palate, including kid-friendly menus.
Indulge in fresh seafood, local Polynesian dishes, and international cuisine while enjoying stunning views of the lagoon and mountains.
Daily breakfast at Tere Nui is truly an experience featuring freshly baked goods, sashimi, a variety of meats and cheeses, made-to-order omelets, and the best French Toast you’ll ever have.
Fare Hoa Beach Bar & Grill is a more casual dining option located near the beach and ideal for daytime snacking. The menu features a range of delicious grilled dishes, fresh salads, poke bowls and tropical Insta-worthy cocktails. Drinks and food can be enjoyed at the restaurant, by the pool, or while relaxing on beachfront palapas.
There’s also a fantastic sushi restaurant with a menu crafted to highlight the flavors of the Pacific while incorporating classic Japanese techniques. In addition, Arii Moana flaunts a mix of enchanting Mediterranean dishes.
For a unique dining experience, opt for a private beach barbecue or a romantic dinner on your bungalow deck serenaded by seclusion and the sounds of the ocean.
The Beach
The beach at Four Seasons Bora Bora is the epitome of paradise. It boasts powdery white sands that gently slope into crystal-clear turquoise waters. Framed by lush palm trees and the backdrop of the dramatic Mount Otemanu, the scenery is nothing short of breathtaking.
A major advantage of staying at the property is exclusive access to pristine beach areas reserved for resort guests. This ensures a safe, serene and uncrowded experience, allowing families, couples, and solo travelers to enjoy the natural beauty of Bora Bora in a peaceful setting. Whether you’re lounging in a cabana or enjoying a leisurely swim, the beach feels like a private sanctuary.
The waters of the lagoon are notably calm and shallow, making it an excellent spot for swimming, especially for families with children. The gentle waves provide a safe environment for young swimmers to explore and enjoy the refreshing lagoon without the strong currents often found in ocean settings.
Above and Beyond
The Four Seasons Spa offers more than just massages and treatments. Guests can participate in wellness activities such as yoga classes on the beach, meditation sessions, and guided wellness retreats.
The resort offers a dedicated concierge service that assists with any given personalized request. The concierge team can arrange a variety of unique experiences, such as helicopter tours over the island, visits to nearby motus (small islands), or even cultural village tours that allow guests to engage with local communities and traditions.
Guests can enjoy seamless transportation with luxury boat transfers to and from the airport. The resort offers private yacht charters for those looking to explore the surrounding islands or simply enjoy a day out on the water in style. Flights are around 8 hours direct from LAX or SFO through the main island of Tahiti.
