The best way to book Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora is through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner travel advisor.
Every Four Seasons rate at this resort already includes daily breakfast for two at Tere Nui and the shared boat transfer from Bora Bora airport. A Preferred Partner booking adds a $100 hotel credit ($200 in suites), a room upgrade when available and VIP recognition.
Preferred Partner rates equal the official direct booking rate on the Four Seasons website. We don't charge any booking fees, so you get the benefits for free.

The program benefits are the same at every hotel. What changes is what they are worth. This is how each one works at this property.
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora includes daily breakfast at Tere Nui for two guests per one-bedroom bungalow in every published rate, so breakfast is not what a Preferred Partner booking adds here. Tere Nui serves breakfast from 7:00 to 10:30 am, open-air, facing Mount Otemanu. A third guest in the bungalow pays for breakfast separately.
The Preferred Partner credit applies once per stay, at the restaurants, bars or Te Mahana Spa. The credit is USD 100, or USD 200 in suites, and we confirm on the reservation which credit level your bungalow carries. A canoe breakfast delivered to your deck starts at about $290, which shows the scale of resort prices.
A one-category upgrade when available at check-in. At Four Seasons Bora Bora the bungalow categories climb by view: Beach-View, Lagoon-View, Mountain-View and Premier Mountain-View, then the plunge-pool bungalows. One step up usually moves you closer to a straight-on view of Mount Otemanu.
Priority for both. Check-in at Four Seasons Bora Bora is 3:00 pm and checkout is noon, and the evening flights back to Papeete make a late checkout valuable. The resort only guarantees a room early or late when the extra night is booked, so we ask in advance and tell you what the resort confirms.
A welcome amenity and a VIP note on the reservation. We send Four Seasons Bora Bora your view preference, your celebration and your flight times before you arrive, so the boat at Motu Mute is waiting when you land.
Preferred Partner benefits apply on top of the resort's own offers, such as Stay Longer with a fourth night free and the Inclusive Plunge Pool Escape with all three meals. The Experience More offer adds a resort credit of about $270 per stay in an overwater bungalow, or about $540 in a plunge-pool bungalow or villa. We check which offer pays best for your dates when we quote.
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora has 108 overwater bungalow suites and seven beachfront villa estates on a private motu facing Mount Otemanu. Every one-bedroom overwater bungalow suite is about 1,076 sq ft (100 sq m), so the categories differ by view and by plunge pool, not by size. Each bungalow has a deck with a ladder into the lagoon.
The Beach-View Overwater Bungalow Suite sits closest to the resort, looking back at the white-sand beach. The Lagoon-View Overwater Bungalow Suite faces the open turquoise lagoon. Both come with a king or two queen beds and a sofa bed, which makes the Lagoon-View the sensible choice for a family of four on a budget.
The Mountain-View Overwater Bungalow Suite looks across the lagoon to Mount Otemanu, the view most people picture when they think of Bora Bora. It has a king bed, a covered dining area on the deck and an oversized tub that opens onto the deck.
The Premier Mountain-View Overwater Bungalow Suite, called Front Mountain-View until May 2026, faces Mount Otemanu straight on. It is the same 1,076 sq ft as the other one-bedroom bungalows. For couples who want the classic view without paying for a pool, this is the bungalow we recommend.
Four Seasons Bora Bora has 27 specialty bungalows with a private, freshwater, infinity-edge plunge pool on the deck. The one-bedroom Beach-View, Lagoon-View and Mountain-View versions are about 1,120 sq ft (104 sq m). The plunge pool is small, 11 by 8 ft, but it is the setting for the resort's floating breakfast.
The Otemanu Overwater Bungalow Suite is about 1,580 sq ft (147 sq m), with a guest bathroom, a plunge pool and a deck running the length of the bungalow. It faces the lagoon and Mount Otemanu, and it is the bungalow we book first for a honeymoon with a pool.
The Herenui and Poerava suites are about 2,228 sq ft (207 sq m), each with a plunge pool, and sleep six adults or two adults and four children. Herenui has a king and two queen beds. Poerava has two king beds, which suits two couples travelling together.
The seven Beachfront Villa Estates run from one to five bedrooms, on plots from a third of an acre to more than a full acre. The larger estates have a private infinity pool and an outdoor kitchen. Villa guests receive private airport transfers, daily breakfast and a dedicated Villa Host team.
One-bedroom bungalows sleep three adults, or two adults and two children, and Four Seasons Bora Bora charges no room supplement for children 17 and under sharing with their parents. Breakfast is included for two guests per one-bedroom bungalow, so a third guest or older children pay for breakfast. View within a category is a request, not a guarantee, so tell us what matters most and we will ask early.
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora adds a resort fee of 10 percent of the room rate, as reported in October 2025. French Polynesia's taxes and the service charge come on top, and a guest account from that visit put the total of fees and taxes at about 26 percent, plus a per-person city tax for guests 12 and over. We give you the full, itemised total with your quote.
Four Seasons Bora Bora charges your final bill in local currency, so the dollar total moves slightly with the exchange rate. Pay with a card that charges no foreign transaction fee.
Air Tahiti flights from Papeete to Bora Bora take 45 minutes but do not run late at night or very early in the morning. A late arrival from the US can mean a night in Tahiti before the onward flight. We check your international flight against the inter-island schedule before you book either.
Every one-bedroom overwater bungalow at Four Seasons Bora Bora is about 1,076 sq ft. Pay for Mount Otemanu if the view is the reason for the trip: the Premier Mountain-View faces it straight on. The Beach-View and Lagoon-View bungalows cost less and suit guests who will spend the day out on the lagoon.
The overwater bungalows sit over a mostly sandy lagoon floor, so the fish are in the Lagoon Sanctuary inside the resort. Snorkelling gear is complimentary. Four Seasons Bora Bora paused its marine biology programmes from late September 2026 to enhance the sanctuary, so we check whether they have resumed for your dates.
Oro'a, the Polynesian dance and fire show with a set menu, runs only on Tuesday and Friday evenings. Vaimiti, the overwater Asian restaurant, fills at sunset. Give us your dates and we will book them.
Kids For All Seasons runs at the Tamarii Club for children aged 5 to 12, with a playroom, video games, a playground and a shallow splash pad. The resort's family page lists the club on weekends and holidays, so we confirm the schedule for your dates. Children get a welcome gift, an afternoon goûter and snorkelling sessions with the marine team.
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora has four restaurants, a weekly Polynesian show dinner and in-bungalow dining around the clock. Executive Chef Mickael Messina, formerly of Cheval Blanc Randheli in the Maldives, took over the kitchens in 2026. Most of the fish served at the resort is caught in Bora Bora's waters by local fishers.
Tere Nui is the open-air breakfast restaurant overlooking Mount Otemanu, serving a buffet and an à la carte menu from 7:00 to 10:30 am. Tere Nui is where the breakfast included in every Four Seasons Bora Bora rate is taken. Arrive early for a table at the edge of the terrace.
Arii Moana serves Mediterranean classics at dinner, from 5:30 to 9:30 pm, in a candle-lit waterside room. The signature dishes are a tomahawk steak and lobster. Arii Moana is the dressiest dinner at the resort.
Vaimiti is the overwater restaurant for eclectic Asian cooking and sunset cocktails. Dinner runs from 5:00 to 9:30 pm and the bar stays open until 10:30 pm. Order the wagyu donburi and the crispy sushi rice with salmon.
Fare Hoa, which means House of Friends, is the toes-in-the-sand restaurant on the lagoon shore, open from noon to 8:30 pm. The menu runs from poisson cru and tuna poke to a bacon cheeseburger. Sunset Hour, from 5:00 to 6:30 pm daily, has specials on the drink of the day.
Oro'a is a festive evening of Polynesian dance, a fire dance and a set menu of traditional Tahitian food. Oro'a runs on Tuesday and Friday from 5:30 to 8:30 pm.
In-bungalow dining runs 24 hours, with breakfast from 6:00 to 11:00 am. The canoe breakfast, paddled to your deck by staff in a Polynesian canoe, starts at about $290, and the floating breakfast in a plunge pool starts at about $540. Both are paid extras, separate from the breakfast at Tere Nui.
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora sits on Motu Tehotu, a coral islet on the reef, with a white-sand beach on a calm inner lagoon. Kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and snorkelling gear are complimentary, and pool attendants bring chilled towels and fruit.
The Ruahatu Lagoon Sanctuary, which the resort now calls simply the Lagoon Sanctuary, is an inner lagoon inside the grounds, home to more than 100 species of marine life. The resort's marine biologists lead snorkelling tours, coral grafting and talks on Polynesian ecology, and guests can snorkel it on their own. From late September 2026 the marine biology programmes paused while the sanctuary is enhanced.
Four Seasons Bora Bora has one infinity pool, facing the lagoon and Mount Otemanu. Thatched-roof cabanas around the pool give shade, and attendants top up ice water through the day.
Te Mahana Spa sits on the edge of the lagoon, reached by raised walkways above pandanus trees. It has seven treatment rooms, including two open-air pavilions and the overwater Fare Miti Spa Suite for couples, with a glass floor above the lagoon. Treatments use Tahitian black pearl powder and marine algae, and myBlend facials arrived in 2026. The spa is open from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.
DIVEASY runs the dive centre on site, for beginners and certified divers. The resort also arranges helmet dives, submarine scooters, jet ski tours, outrigger canoe trips with a motu lunch, and sunset cruises between Motu Tapu and the Teavanui Pass.
Four Seasons Bora Bora has two artificial-grass tennis courts facing Mount Otemanu, with a Peter Burwash International pro. The fitness centre looks out over the beach, and yoga runs beside the lagoon. Select group tennis, yoga and cultural classes are included in the rate.
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora has an on-site medical team for care, testing and first aid. The resort is a boat ride from the main island, so this matters more here than at most resorts.
Bora Bora is warm all year. The decision is between the drier, cooler months and the humid wet season, and between school holidays and quieter weeks.
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora is on a private motu, reached only by boat. You fly to Papeete, clear customs there, fly 45 minutes on to Bora Bora and cross the lagoon by boat. Guests book their own flights.
Most guests spend their days on the lagoon. Plan one or two outings to the main island and the reef.
Vaitape is Bora Bora's main village, 25 minutes from the resort by the water taxi. Vaitape has black pearl shops and local cafés, and it is where the Air Tahiti shuttle boat from the airport lands.
An outrigger canoe tour circles the lagoon, stops to snorkel the coral gardens and ends with a Polynesian lunch on a motu. The concierge at Four Seasons Bora Bora books it.
A 4x4 safari climbs into the hills of the main island for views over the lagoon. Fitter guests can hike with a guide, and the resort organises guided hikes on Mount Ohue.
A helicopter flight shows the whole ring of motus and the shades of blue that Bora Bora is known for. It is short and expensive, and it is the best photograph of the trip.
The best way to book Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora is through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner travel advisor. The advisor books the official Four Seasons rate, with no booking fees, and the reservation adds a $100 hotel credit, upgrade priority and VIP recognition, on top of the daily breakfast for two and airport boat transfer that every rate at the resort already includes.
Every Four Seasons rate at Four Seasons Bora Bora already includes daily breakfast for two at Tere Nui and the shared boat transfer from Bora Bora airport. A Preferred Partner booking adds a $100 hotel credit per stay ($200 in suites), a one-category upgrade when available at check-in, priority for early check-in and late checkout, and a welcome amenity with VIP recognition.

A Four Seasons Preferred Partner advisor and Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts (FHR) both add a $100 credit and upgrade priority at Four Seasons Bora Bora, where breakfast for two and the airport boat transfer are already part of every Four Seasons rate. FHR also guarantees 4:00 pm checkout, but needs an Amex Platinum or Centurion card and a booking through Amex Travel. Preferred Partner needs no card, doubles the credit to $200 in suites and adds VIP recognition. Booking direct at fourseasons.com costs the same and adds none of these, because Four Seasons has no points programme. One booking can carry only one of the two benefit packages.

The One-Bedroom Premier Mountain-View Overwater Bungalow Suite, which faces Mount Otemanu straight on, is the best choice for most couples at Four Seasons Bora Bora. Every one-bedroom bungalow is about 1,076 sq ft, so categories differ by view. For a private pool, the Otemanu Overwater Bungalow Suite with Plunge Pool, at about 1,580 sq ft, is the best one-bedroom bungalow, and the Lagoon-View is the best value.
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora meets guests at Bora Bora airport on Motu Mute and takes them across the lagoon on a resort yacht in about 15 minutes. The round-trip shared boat transfer is included in every Four Seasons rate. Guests first fly 45 minutes from Papeete, Tahiti, where international flights land.
