Sunset side of the lagoon — the only resort with both sunrise and sunset overwater bungalows.
"Sunset side of the lagoon — the only resort with both sunrise and sunset overwater bungalows."
Conrad Bora Bora Nui opened in 2017 (rebranded from the previous Hilton Bora Bora Nui after a complete renovation) on Motu To'opua — the sunset-side motu, the only Bora Bora resort with overwater bungalows on both the sunrise (east) and sunset (west) sides of the motu. One hundred and twenty-three overwater bungalows and beachfront villas, the upper-tier Presidential Royal Overwater Villa (the multi-bedroom 700-square-metre two-storey overwater villa with two private pools) is the working milestone-flagship, and the standard Overwater Pool Villa is the working honeymoon-flagship product. The asset is the working dual-orientation lagoon — the Conrad is the only Bora Bora resort where the working honeymoon couple can choose sunrise overwater (Otemanu-direction) or sunset overwater (open-Pacific-direction) at the same property, and the working trip can use both products across a 5-night stay. Five restaurants on-site (the highest restaurant count on the lagoon), including the Iriatai (the working anniversary-equivalent fine-dining room), and the Banyan Tree Spa (the resort's wellness programme). Conrad Bora Bora Nui is the right pick for the working Bora Bora honeymoon at the Hilton-loyalty value tier where the dual-orientation lagoon and the largest dining variety are the working assets.
Presidential Royal Overwater Villa (the multi-bedroom milestone flagship) or Sunset Overwater Pool Villa for the working sunset-side honeymoon.
Confirm sunset-side overwater at booking (the working sunset-direction is the more-photogenic for the working honeymoon photograph). Pre-book Iriatai for the anniversary-equivalent dinner. Use the Banyan Tree Spa working couples'-treatment.
Conrad Bora Bora Nui sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Bora Bora for a Honeymoon list. It scored an aggregate 9.7/10 across the three editorial criteria — competitive against the field but, on a honeymoon-specific factors, the angle above is what earned its rank. For the alternatives in the same Bora Bora neighbourhood, see Motu To'opua and adjacent. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.
If you have already chosen the dates, our editor recommends booking the room twelve weeks ahead. The best suites with the right view orientation go first, and inventory for the popular months is quoted in months, not weeks. Suite-level rooms with private plunge pools or terraces — the ones that earn this rank — are typically the first to sell out.
