Motu Piti Aau, known as the “islet of two hearts,” is home to the InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa. Perfectly placed on a private motu, the resort faces the main island of Bora Bora, framed by crystalline lagoon waters and the volcanic peak of Mount Otemanu. Its secluded position offers tranquility while remaining close to vibrant island life. Accessible by boat transfer, the resort is both exclusive and effortlessly connected to sister property InterContinental Bora Bora Le Moana Resort.
Guests are welcomed to sleek overwater villas, tropical gardens, fine dining, and the first Thalasso spa in the South Pacific. The thalassotherapy spa uses seawater for therapeutic purposes, and includes pools, showers, and treatments like seaweed or sea mud wraps, to potentially relieve joint pain, improve skin, and enhance well-being.
The resort features 84 overwater villas, each an elegant blend of modern luxury and Polynesian design. Ranging from spacious Overwater Villas with sundecks and lagoon access to indulgent Overwater Pool Villas with private pools, every stay promises serenity and spectacular views. For the ultimate escape, Teremoana Pool Villas offer one- or two-bedroom configurations, expansive living space, and sweeping panoramas of Mount Otemanu.
With three signature restaurants and three bars, dining is as much a highlight as the scenery. Reef Restaurant serves Mediterranean-inspired cuisine and hosts Polynesian dance shows. Sands Restaurant, set on a private beach, offers grills and island specialties with fire dance performances. Le Corail is the resort’s gourmet showcase, home to French Polynesia’s largest wine cellar. Casual cocktails and light bites await at Bubbles Bar, Sunset Theater, and South Beach Bar.
The Deep Ocean Spa is the heart of the resort — the first thalassotherapy centre in the South Pacific, offering treatments that harness the healing properties of the sea. InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa is where natural beauty, refined service, and wellness come together in harmony.
**Renovation works will commence from 01 June 2026 until mid 2027 during which time the resort will be closed.
My husband and I spent 3 fabulous nights at Thalasso resort. The accommodation was superb. The overwater bungalow was quite private with a lounge room, a bedroom with a full glass window overlooking crystal clear water and a bathroom over the water as well. The staff were very helpful, friendly and accommodating which made our stay perfect. It was my birthday and they supplied me with a cake and complimentary champagne. I couldn't rate this resort high enough. TripAdvisor.com
