Maitai Polynesia Bora Bora

Hotel Maitai Polynesia Bora Bora is one of French Polynesia's best-value overwater bungalow resorts — a welcoming, Polynesian-style property on Bora Bora's main island with direct lagoon access, a private beach, and the iconic views that make this destination unforgettable, at a fraction of the price of the ultra-luxury motu resorts.

What to Expect

Thatched-roof bungalows line pontoons stretching into the turquoise lagoon. The resort pairs authentic island hospitality with complimentary watersports, tropical gardens, and relaxed dining at the lagoon's edge — ideal for honeymooners and couples who want the classic Bora Bora overwater experience without the ultra-premium price tag.

• Overwater bungalows with glass coffee tables for lagoon marine life viewing
• Private beach with lounge chairs and complimentary beach towels
• Complimentary snorkeling equipment, kayaks, canoes, and life jackets
• Four restaurants and bars — Tama'a Maitai, Haere Mai, Manuia Bar, and Beach Bar
• Boat transfers between the resort and Bora Bora's main island
• Honeymoon and anniversary amenities available
