Today (December 29, 2014): Top 10 most luxurious resorts in French Polynesia.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

This list was updated in 2017.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u00a0previously published top 10\u00a0lists\u00a0of the most luxurious\u00a0resorts in the Caribbean<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0in the Indian Ocean (Maldives<\/a>, Seychelles<\/a>, and Mauritius<\/a>). Today, I am\u00a0heading to the South Pacific for another paradise destination<\/a>\u00a0that should be on the bucket list of every discerning traveler: French Polynesia.<\/p>\n

The unspoiled coral reefs and lagoons that make up the captivating views around French Polynesia have remained virtually unchanged since 18th-century sailors first reported sightings of these stunning islets. While Tahiti and Moorea are stunningly beautiful,\u00a0Bora Bora\u00a0is the most famous and photogenic of French Polynesia\u2019s Leeward Islands, its ancestral name meaning \u201ccreated by the gods\u201d. It is a one of the\u00a0most scenic islands in the world<\/a>, thick with coconut forests, colorful villages, and jagged green peaks that cascade down to miles of fine, white sandy beaches<\/a>\u00a0and crystal clear, turquoise water as far as the eye can see. No wonder that some of the most stunning hotels in the world are located here, some of them managed by the world’s most exclusive hotel brands<\/a>. I hereby present you my list of the 10 best luxury resorts in French Polynesia, all but two of them located in Bora Bora.<\/p>\n

10. INTERCONTINENTAL BORA BORA LE MOANA RESORT<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n

Adorned by white sand and turquoise water, the InterContinental Bora Bora Le Moana Resort is located to the south side of the main island, at the famous Matira point. The latter is formed by two white sand beaches, a windward beach on Taahana Bay and a leeward beach on Matira bay. The hotel, situated only 5 miles (8 kms)\u00a0from the main\u00a0village of Vaitape, offers a breathtaking view of the lagoon, but also of the impressive Mount\u00a0Otemanu and Mount\u00a0Pahia. The 64 beach and overwater bungalows all feature a large sun terrace, living room, bedroom and beautiful bathroom with bath and dressing area decorated with live vanilla plants. In the overwater bungalows, the glass coffee table in the living room looks into the natural aquarium of the lagoon, with its clear turquoise water and sand bottom, illuminated at night.<\/p>\n
