The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa is now open.

Located at the base of Mount Otemanu on the French Polynesian island, the resort completed an extensive property-wide renovation and rebrand prior to opening. It offers the largest collection of overwater bungalows in Bora Bora as well as beachside villas.

“We are excited to unveil this property as the first resort to open in Bora Bora since 2017, bringing the dream  of Bora Bora alive like never before,” said César Marques, general manager of The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa. “The Westin Bora Bora blends the serene landscape of the island with top-tier accommodations, breathtaking ocean views, and a wide array of on- and off-property experiences, ensuring an unforgettable stay for every guest.”

The resort offers a host of world-class amenities, including the largest swimming pool in Bora Bora – an infinity pool at the heart of the resort, bordered by six cabanas facing the beach, a swim-up pool bar and waterfall cascading from the second floor into the pool – as well as a private lagoon, diverse culinary experiences, and locally-inspired wellness offerings. At the renowned Eco Center Bora Bora, the resort will support the vital mission of protecting sea turtles and marine ecosystems, championing environment stewardship in their tropical paradise.

The Westin Bora Bora features 128 overwater bungalows, many of which include their own private plunge pools, and all of which offer views of the lagoon, island, or Mount Otemanu. Each overwater bungalow has been positioned to avoid direct sightlines, ensuring total privacy.

The resort also offers 14 spacious family-friendly beach bungalows overlooking the lagoon. Designed to offer modern and refined comfort blended with Polynesian hospitality, the bungalows embody the essence of discreet luxury. Every room features the signature Westin Heavenly Bed, Sleep Well Lavender Balm soothing bedside amenity, and Westin Sleep Well Menu, a curated selection of sleep-enhancing superfoods to be enjoyed in-room.

The property is also home to six distinct dining concepts:

• Tipanier – an all-day French Polynesian bistro offering a breakfast buffet in the morning and lunch and dinner options, set in a space designed to showcase the beauty of Bora Bora and its Tipanier flower;
• Maere – the resort’s signature restaurant, featuring an ever-changing menu using only the freshest local ingredients, complemented by an extensive selection of wine;
• Varavara – a laid-back restaurant offering beachfront fine dining for both lunch and dinner;
• Honu Tiki – a beach bar serving  frozen drinks, nibbles, and light snacks;
• Te Ava – a poolside restaurant;
• and ‘O’a Bar – the resort’s outdoor lobby-lounge bar, which delivers signature craft cocktails alongside sunset views of Mt. Otemanu.

Additional highlights of The Westin Bora Bora include:

• Heavenly Spa by Westin™, which offers treatments inspired by Polynesia wellness traditions and natural settings, as well as Asian-inspired and holistic therapies;
• WestinWORKOUT® Fitness Studio with top tier fitness equipment (cardio and weights) and a selection of fitness classes like yoga, Pilates, and even Tahitian dance;
• a range of activities on water (paddle boarding, kayaking, water yoga, Hydrofoil bikes, snorkeling, scuba diving, deep-sea fishing, etc.), land (WestinWORKOUT Routes – running, beach volleyball, etc.), and exploring the island’s culture (palm weaving, dancing, etc.).

The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa shows its commitment to ecological sustainability through its Eco Center Bora Bora. Originally established in 2000 in collaboration with the Direction of the Environment (DIREN) of French Polynesia, the revamped center will focus on the protection and conservation of sea turtle species, developing sustainable management of ecology in French Polynesia and educating and raising awareness among locals and travelers alike with a variety of immersive and educational experiences for guests. Guests can learn about the protection and conservation of sea turtles in French Polynesia with a guided tour, slideshow and observation of the turtle feeding. For a more interactive, hands-on experience, guests can help prepare meals for the Eco Center’s residents; assist caretakers as they observe and provide care to the turtles; or spend an entire day with the Eco Center Bora Bora team, engaging in food preparation, tank cleaning, public presentations, care, and observation.
