A Fresh Bora Bora Resort Experience

 

The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa has a lively yet restorative feel. It is a place where guests can choose slow mornings in a villa, days by the water, spa time, paddleboarding, sunset cocktails, beachside dining and nights filled with music, colour and Polynesian atmosphere.

The resort balances classic Bora Bora romance with the wellbeing-led Westin style. Heavenly Beds, spacious villas, wellness classes, a 24-hour fitness studio, spa treatments and water-based activities all work together to create a stay that feels relaxing, active and deeply connected to place.

For those wanting more than a beautiful room, The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa offers a broad resort experience. Restaurants, bars, private dining, cultural activities, water sports, an Eco Centre and some of the island’s most memorable views.

Overwater and Beach Villas

 

Accommodation at The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa is built around two great Bora Bora dreams we’ve all grown up with. That is, sleeping peacefully above the lagoon or beside the beach.

The resort’s overwater bungalows and villas place guests directly above Bora Bora’s turquoise water, with selected categories offering Mount Otemanu views, lagoon views and private plunge pools. Beach Villas offer a different kind of island luxury, keeping guests close to the sand while still enjoying lagoon outlooks and generous villa-style comfort.

Each villa features Westin’s Heavenly Beds for a restful sleep. The accommodation range includes intimate 41 sqm villas through to spacious two-bedroom villas for families, friends or couples travelling together.

Dining, Wellness and Island Experiences

 

The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa offers plenty to enjoy beyond the villa, with three restaurants, three bars, wellness facilities, cultural activities and lagoon experiences woven into the stay.

Guests can dine at Tipanier, the French Polynesian elegant bistro, enjoy the daily changing culinary journey at Maere, or settle into relaxed beachside meals at Varavara. Drinks and lighter bites are served at Te Ava swim-up bar, Honu Tiki beach hut and ‘O’A, where signature cocktails come with Mount Otemanu views and a musical atmosphere.

Days can be shaped around water sports, paddleboards, kayaks, hydrofoil bikes, jet skis, beach games, cultural classes and wellness sessions, while Eco Centre Bora Bora offers discovery activities with marine biologists focused on marine life and sea turtle conservation.

For slower moments, Heavenly Spa by Westin offers massages, facials and body treatments, and the WestinWORKOUT Fitness Studio is open 24 hours for guests who want to keep moving during their island escape.
