InterContinental Bora Bora Le Moana Resort by IHG  

On Bora Bora’s turquoise edge, this waterfront resort sits minutes from Matira Beach and nearby soft-sand spots. It’s about 7 km from the island’s main center, with Mount Otemanu hikes and the village markets for famed Tahitian black pearls a short ride away.

Choose overwater bungalows with private pontoons or rooms with furnished balconies and ocean or garden views. Rooms feature minibars, bathrobes and slippers, plus deep soaking tubs; breakfasts can even arrive in a wooden canoe decorated with exotic flowers. The overall vibe is island-chic with a full spa, massage room and on-site doctor for added peace of mind.

Private beach, outdoor pool and poolside bar meet a dive club and direct access to world-class swim and snorkel sites — jump straight off your pontoon. Bicycles, table tennis, a library, tour desk and concierge help you explore. Shuttle and airport transfers can be arranged, and babysitting, laundry and car rental are available.

Business center and express check-in are available, with complimentary wired and wireless internet across the property.

Noa Noa beachfront restaurant serves international and local flavors with pool and ocean views. Enjoy buffet breakfast or have morning treats delivered to your overwater bungalow on a decorated wooden canoe; room service runs during limited hours and a lively poolside bar keeps cocktails flowing.
