Bora Bora Lagoon Resort Located on Motu Toopua, an exclusive atoll created from a volcanic fragment in a spectacular lagoon, Bora Bora Lagoon Resort is set in approximately 12 acres of flowering plants, fruit trees, palms and other tropical evergreens. The hotel is the only commercial property on the island. The nearest landmass, the tropical island of Bora Bora, is five minutes away and located 150 miles north west of Tahiti among the Leeward Society Islands of French Polynesia. It was made famous by the film South Pacific and as the home of Paul Gaugin and the inspiration for his paintings. Inside, oiled yucca woods, floor to ceiling louvres and timber blinds blend Polynesian charm and modern comfort.
Many rooms have additional air conditioning.
In the overwater bungalows, underwater sealife can be seen through the glass-topped coffee table. The bungalows are arranged in three separate villages and oriented to views and sunlight with privacy as a key consideration. Each village is near the beach, swimming areas and a communal pavilion. The reception area, overwater restaurant and other public buildings also feature traditional Tahitian architecture. Guests dine in two restaurants.
