About the Resort
A Relais & Châteaux motu resort
Le Bora Bora by Pearl is a freshly renovated Relais & Châteaux resort on Motu Tevairoa, with the easiest access to the main island of any off-mainland resort. Its 108 rooms and villas range from overwater bungalows that open onto the To'a Nui coral nursery to garden and beach villas with private plunge pools, all in authentic Polynesian materials. A Monday Polynesian dance show, a lily-pond spa and an easy evening boat to Vaitape's restaurants round out an overwater Bora Bora stay at a more accessible tier.
