Sofitel Bora Bora Private Island

Bora Bora

LoginSave

One of Bora Bora's most popular honeymoon spots, this Sofitel strikes a perfect balance between luxury, seclusion, privacy (there are only 31 units) and convenience – on hilly Motu Piti Uu Uta, it’s just five glorious minutes by shuttle boat from the main island.

Due to its unbeatable position, it gets plenty of sunshine, even in late afternoon, and the views of the lagoon from the top of the hill are sensational. Another draw is the proximity of one of Bora Bora’s best coral gardens.

The three sunset-friendly 'lagoon view' units are the brighter choices, but the well-appointed overwater bungalows and the tropically delicious villas positioned on a greenery-shrouded hillside are also very popular.
