"Matira Beach side, smaller scale, the warmer-water honeymoon option."
InterContinental Bora Bora Le Moana sits on Matira Point, at the southern tip of Bora Bora's main island rather than on a motu, with direct access to Matira Beach, the island's best public beach. It is the smallest of the major Bora Bora resorts, around 64 overwater and beach bungalows, which keeps it more intimate than the big motu properties. The draw is that position: you step straight onto Matira Beach, and Vaitape town is a short shuttle away, so you are not boat-dependent for everything. Rates run roughly 30 to 40 per cent below the motu resorts. The trade-off is real: being on the main island means less seclusion and busier water than a private motu, and the bungalows are older than the Thalasso sister across the lagoon. Best for a honeymoon that values beach access and value over total isolation.
An Otemanu-view overwater bungalow for the mountain outlook, or a beach bungalow if you want to step straight onto Matira Beach.
Matira Beach is a five-minute walk and the only public-access top beach on the island, so use it early before the day-trippers arrive. The Vaitape shuttle makes it easy to get into town for dinner or supplies, which most motu resorts can't offer.
InterContinental Bora Bora Le Moana Resort sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Bora Bora for a Honeymoon list. It scored an aggregate 9.6/10 across the three editorial criteria, competitive across the field, with the angle above earning its rank. For the alternatives in the same Bora Bora neighbourhood, see Matira Point (central island) and adjacent. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.
If the dates are locked in, secure the room around the three-month mark. The view-facing suites disappear earliest, and high-season inventory moves on a timescale of 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.
