InterContinental Bora Bora Resort Thalasso Spa

Wake up slowly and savor fabulous views from the villa’s panoramic picture windows. Order a signature Canoe Breakfast, with American delicacies delivered to your deck by traditional outrigger canoe, and then spend the morning exploring the islet’s marine wonders. You can skim across the lagoon on a rented sailboat, kayak or paddle board. Or slip into the water for a snorkel or sign up for a scuba course to discover an underwater world inhabited by graceful manta rays and placid reef sharks.

Settle back for a delicious lunch beneath the palms at Sands Restaurant, with views of Mount Otemanu and the sparkling water. Then ask the concierge to arrange an excursion: opt for a lagoon tour, a rainforest tour, or a parasail flight above the ocean. Afterwards if you still have energy, visit scenic Matira Beach to try some traditional Polynesian snacks or shop for local arts and crafts.

After a day of adventure, why not book a treatment at Deep Ocean Spa, where our expert therapists use ancient Polynesian techniques to restore both body and mind. Join an evening cruise around the lagoon to feel the full power of the island’s magic as the sun dips towards the horizon before returning home at twilight for an unforgettable gourmet dinner in the open air at Le Corail restaurant. Afterwards, toast the sunset with a glass of champagne or a Black Pearl Martini at Bubbles Bar.
