Today<\/strong>: St Regis vs Four Seasons Bora Bora: which one is best?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Featuring an insanely beautiful lagoon and magnificent tropical scenery, the South Pacific island of Bora Bora is one of the world\u2019s most beautiful destinations. When you are considering a luxury holiday in Bora Bora, chances are that you\u2019re faced with the dilemma of staying at either the Four Seasons Bora Bora or the St Regis Bora Bora, the two most exclusive 5-star hotels on the island<\/a>. I recently stayed at both resorts (read my review of the St Regis Bora Bora here<\/a> and my review of the Four Seasons Bora Bora here<\/a>). While both properties are top-notch resorts and located very close to one another in Bora Bora\u2019s mesmerizing lagoon, there are some major differences between the Four Seasons and the St Regis, which might have an impact on your travel experience. Here\u2019s my detailed comparison of both resorts, which makes it obvious that there is a clear winner, at least in my humble opinion.<\/p>\n

Bora Bora also features two other five star resorts: the InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa (which I reviewed here<\/a>) and the Conrad Bora Bora. I’ve left them both out of this comparison for two reasons: (1) the InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa will soon be refurbished and rebranded under the umbrella of a new luxury hotel brand; and (2) the Conrad Bora Bora does not enjoy any view at all of Bora Bora’s iconic Mount Otemanu since it’s facing away from the mountain (so I would not recommend to stay at this resort since the view of Mount Otemanu is one of the main reasons to travel to this remote island destination).<\/p>\n

Have you ever stayed at the Four Seasons Bora or the St Regis Bora Bora? If so, what was your experience and which resort did you prefer? Leave a comment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For ease of navigation, I\u2019ll compare the following aspects of the Four Seasons Bora Bora and the St Regis Bora Bora (announcing a winner in each category):<\/p>\n

    1. DESIGN<\/strong><\/h5>\n

    Both resorts feature a traditional design, with thatched roof pavilions and Polynesian architecture. In a sense, they both feel very similar, but IMHO, the\u00a0Four\u00a0Seasons\u00a0Bora Bora feels a bit more chic and elegant compared to the St Regis Bora Bora (although the difference is marginal).<\/p>\n
