Dreamy Escapes:The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa Redefines Island Luxury
Bora Bora has long been the ultimate escape, where crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and dramatic volcanic peaks create an almost dreamlike setting. Now, the island’s allure reaches new heights with the debut of the Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa—the first new luxury resort to open since 2017. Set beneath the iconic Mount Otemanu, this reimagined retreat blends contemporary comfort, Polynesian charm, and wellness-driven luxury, inviting travelers to experience the South Pacific with renewed purpose and intention.
A Dream Realized
Fresh from a full renovation and rebrand, the Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa brings every tropical dream to life with 128 overwater bungalows, 14 beachfront villas, and the largest infinity pool on the island. Many accommodations feature private plunge pools, oversized decks, and sweeping views of the lagoon or Mount Otemanu. Inside, the design embraces clean lines, natural textures, and Polynesian touches, while signature Westin amenities—like the Heavenly® Bed and Sleep Well Lavender Balm—make each night as rejuvenating as the day is idyllic.
Wellness Meets Wanderlust
Staying well is effortless here. At the Heavenly Spa by Westin™, rituals rooted in Polynesian tradition bring relaxation to a deeper level—like the Tupuna Ritual, which uses native oils, salt scrubs, and ancient massage techniques. The WestinWORKOUT® Fitness Studio offers daily yoga, Pilates, and even Tahitian dance classes, while scenic Strava-designed running trails let guests explore the island’s beauty at their own pace
Taste of the Tropics
Dining at the Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa is a culinary journey through local flavor and global inspiration, with six distinct restaurants and bars offering everything from fine dining to casual beachside bites. Tipanier delights with elegant French Polynesian fare, while Maere, the signature restaurant, reimagines island classics with seasonal flair—like lacquered mahi mahi with banana chutney. For more laid-back options, Varavara plates up fresh crudo and chili-glazed ribs, while Honu Tiki and Te Ava serve poolside drinks and sunset views. End the evening with live music and cocktails at ‘O’a Bar, overlooking the breathtaking Mount Otemanu.
Cultural Connection + Island Adventure
Days here are equal parts enriching and relaxing. Guests can paddleboard, snorkel, or float through the private lagoon—or lean into the culture with flower crown weaving, Polynesian storytelling, and weekly traditional performances. Every detail, from curated excursions to intimate moments, reflects the spirit of the island.
Eco-Luxury in Action
Beyond the beauty lies purpose. The resort’s Eco Center Bora Bora focuses on marine conservation and education, particularly the protection of sea turtles. Guests are encouraged to take part in the effort, offering a rare, hands-on opportunity to give back while they unwind.
Paradise, Perfected
For couples, families, and solo travelers alike, the Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa is more than a dream destination—it’s a modern sanctuary rooted in sustainability, culture, and well-being. As the island’s newest and most expansive resort, it sets a new standard for barefoot luxury in the South Pacific.
