Today: Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora offers exclusive island buyout

If you are looking to impress your friends in a mind-blowing way, now is your chance. Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, one of the best beach resorts of French Polynesia (Pacific Ocean), is offering a complete island buyout, providing guests with unparalleled exclusivity and privacy. Inclusive of all 115 accommodations (108 one- and two-bedroom overwater bungalow suites – 27 with private plunge pools; and seven two-and three-bedroom beachfront villa estates), this seven-night island buyout can accommodate up to 246 guests.

Guests of the buyout will also have exclusive and unfettered access to the Resort’s facilities, services, and amenities, including:

• All meals at four open-air restaurants, as imagined by Executive Chef Sebastien Fontes
• Wines selected by Head Sommelier Aude Vaillard and cocktails crafted by the Resort’s bartending team
• Transformative wellness treatments at the cathedral-like Te Mahana Spa (one per guest) and guided fitness classes, including yoga
• Recreational pursuits such as Lagoon Sanctuary exploration with WiseOceans marine biologists; scuba diving with DIVEASY instructors; tennis with Lucas Segati, the Resort’s Peter Burwash International pro; watersports including stand-up paddleboarding, Waverunner excursions, chartered excursions on the Resort’s maritime fleet, and more
• Cultural classes guided by Cultural Ambassador Samuel Fiu and other local experts

Priced at EUR 2.5 million, the complete island buyout is subject to availability.

Optional customizable inclusions, such as private and chartered international and domestic air, helicopter excursions, and headline entertainment are also available at additional cost.

“There is nothing more exclusive than a complete island buyout and no destination as special as French Polynesia, rich in culture and tradition,” says Romain Chanet, General Manager of Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora. “For guests looking to treat their special group to the ultimate and most private experience in paradise, all executed with renowned Four Seasons service and warmth – this is absolutely it.”

In 2022, I stayed at the Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, my favorite hotel on the island of Bora Bora. Wrapped by majestic views, the resort is surrounded by sand-fringed islets on an outer coral reef that enclose a turquoise lagoon. The hotel offers 115 spacious hideaways with 108 overwater bungalows and 7 enormous beachfront villa estates, all overlooking the lagoon’s crystal clear waters and some with spectacular views of Mount Otemanu, French Polynesia’s sacred mountain. Inspired by local architecture, all guest accommodations offer a restful, airy ambience; complete with traditional teak wood furnishings, high ceilings and thatched roofs made from pandanus leaves. Distinctive touches include the fragrance of vanilla and the texture of black pearls in the spa, alfresco dining overlooking Bora-Bora’s famed lagoon, and signature Four Seasons service at every turn.
