Best time to visit: The shoulder season is April and November with fine weather (occasional showers) and fewer visitors. The winds are light so this is a good diving time. The dry season is from May to October and the most popular time to visit with blue sky weather but also more people and higher prices. The tropical wet season is from December to March with more humidity but prices are lower. With consistently warm temperatures year-round Bora Bora is glorious any time!
Your Arrival
On arrival at Bora Bora airport, you’re welcomed at the airport with a Lei, a cool drink, and a refreshing cold towel. You’re then transported by private boat for a 15-minute trip to the St Regis Boat Dock.
From there your personal butler will offer you a fruit juice and take you to the check-in desk. Then it’s on to a buggy tour around the beautiful resort.
The Overwater Bungalows
Get ready to be blown away by the luxurious air-conditioned overwater bungalows adorned with exquisite hand-carved Polynesian sculptures and stunning wooden décor.
Each St Regis Overwater bungalow is spacious and boasts stunning views of the bay or the main island with a separate living area and a bedroom. The Italian-marble bathroom with a rain shower and bathtub is sure to make your stay unforgettable.
Glass panels all around the bungalow allow you to enjoy the mesmerizing turquoise waters below.
The roomy terrace has a dining gazebo that offers a breathtaking view of Bora Bora’s magnificent lagoon. Along with invigorating outdoor showers to wash off the salt water after swimming and snorkeling in the waters around your bungalow.
For those looking for an extra touch of exclusivity, the Royal Overwater Villas come with a private pool, while the Premier Overwater Villas offer a relaxing whirlpool. Excitement awaits you at this paradise retreat!
FYI: The water surrounding the bungalows is quite deep, so you’re equipped with swimming vests. Plus, you’ll also have access to umbrellas and rain ponchos in case it rains.
Your villa comes with bicycles to explore the expansive resort so you can easily reach the gym, restaurant, tennis courts, and other exciting amenities. So get ready to explore and have loads of fun!
Tip: Keep this bike riding in mind when you’re packing your clothes at home. For non-bike riding guests, the resort offers buggies to get you around.

Review: The kindness and services of the staff are outstanding. We felt like every single staff member cared about us. We had an amazing experience at the Lagoon restaurant (we have enjoyed few Michelin-star restaurants and the Lagoon is definitely at that level). I also loved the morning coffee service at our overwater villa.
