St Regis Resort, Bora Bora

Since its opening in June 2006, this stylish newcomer to Bora Bora’s accommodation scene has quickly emerged as ‘the place to be and be seen’, welcoming many a celebrity through its doors and pushing the benchmark for absolute luxury in French Polynesia to new heights.

Edged by powder soft sands and crystal clear warm turquoise waters, the ultra luxurious St Regis is spread across 44 idyllic acres on an islet in Bora Bora’s magical lagoon. Chic and exclusive, the resort’s 91 villas are exquisitely positioned either on the beach, or – of course – over the water! The epitome of carefree elegance, a total of 72 one-bedroom Overwater Villas skim the lagoon – the Deluxe Overwater Villas command magnificent views of Mount Otemanu whilst the eight Premier Overwater Villas come complete with a jazuzzi on the terrace. Families seeking the ultimate resort experience can revel in the magnificence of one of the five Royal Overwater Pool Villas, each of which boasts two bedrooms and a private swimming pool suspended over the lagoon – a first in French Polynesia!

Nestled on the beach, the 13 one and two bedroom Beach Pool Villas with private pools, are equally as stylish and luxurious as their overwater counterparts. The two Royal Beach Pool Villas (with two bedrooms) even benefit from their own heli-pad!

For unrivalled privacy and opulence, the three-bedroomed 13,000 square foot Royal Estate undoubtedly exceeds the high expectations of even the most discerning of travellers! Standing majestically within its own secluded cove, the Royal Estate extends over three separate pavilions – overall comprising a private swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, spa area with treatment room – and of course – a private beach!

Meticulous and discreet personal service is a hallmark of the world-acclaimed St Regis brand –with dedicated staff and the legendary 24 hour St Regis butler service ensuring that your every request is seamlessly brought to fruition!

The exclusive Miri Miri Spa, which is spectacularly located on its own private island in the lagoon, boasts seven luxurious treatment suites as well as a state-of-the-art fitness centre. The use of natural herbs and extracts from the island, including the resort’s signature crushed pearl treatment, promises an unforgettable sensual experience!

For children and teenagers, the dedicated St Regis Creativity Centre offers an array of activities influenced by French Polynesia’s rich history and culture, including outrigger canoeing and ancient reef and lagoon fishing practices.

Dining is a delectable affair – with your choice including an overwater bar and restaurant – plus Bora Bora’s very first Sushi restaurant and Sake bar! Of course, a lavish dinner in the privacy of your villa can easily be arranged courtesy of the celebrated St Regis butler service! There’s simply no doubt that this fabled archipelago has assumed a new magical lustre which just has to be experienced to be believed!
