While many claim Bora Bora to be the most beautiful island in the world, it is indisputably one of the most romantic. And with the addition of The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort it is also becoming known as an enticing retreat for the whole family. With a lagoon that's an artist's palette of blues and greens, and lush tropical slopes and valleys covered with hibiscus and palms, Bora Bora is love at first sight for people of all ages.

Seamlessly fusing Bora Bora’s natural beauty with legendary St. Regis elegance, the overwater villas promise a bespoke island experience. Throughout each villa, native wood mixes with smooth marble and traditionally woven textiles. Ornately carved Polynesian sculptures and scenic paintings by esteemed local artists add to the elegance, which is illuminated by sunlight streaming in through floor-to-ceiling windows.

An engaging glimpse into the underwater world is available via indoor glass viewing panels, which look directly into the water below. The refinement continues in the separate bedroom before moving into the Italian marble bathroom, with its dressing area, double sinks, sunken bathtub, and separate rain-shower. At the signature fine-dining restaurant, Lagoon, long glass floor panels run the lengths of the terrace and refined dining room, facilitating views of black-tip sharks swimming in the enclosed park underneath.

Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s inspired cuisine is showcased in a menu that elegantly marries Eastern and Western flavors and textures amid Pacific paradise. Lagoon offers the freshest fish and noble indigenous ingredients, which are complemented by the sommelier’s exquisite wine list.
