Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora

Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora stuns with 100 overwater bungalows featuring glass floor panels for watching manta rays, set beside a turquoise lagoon made for snorkeling. Rates sit firmly at the top of the luxury market, and peak-season suites command a considerable premium. Its fourth-place ranking may surprise fans of grand city icons like the Burj Al Arab and Claridge's, yet the resort matches them on exclusivity, pairing a real sense of seclusion with service that is attentive without ever intruding. It is a perennial honeymoon favourite, and the spa leans into Polynesian traditions for its signature treatments. A freshwater infinity pool looks out over the lagoon toward Mount Otemanu, a view that for many guests justifies the journey on its own.
