"Matira Beach side, smaller scale — the warmer-water honeymoon option."
InterContinental Bora Bora Le Moana Resort sits on Matira Point — the southern tip of the Bora Bora central island (not on a motu), the only working Bora Bora luxury resort on the central island and the property with the most-direct Matira Beach access. Sixty-four overwater bungalows and beach bungalows, the smaller scale (the property is the smallest of the major Bora Bora resorts) means the working couples-to-staff ratio is the highest. The asset is the working Matira-Beach-and-central-island position — the property is on the same beach as the working public Matira Beach (the only working best-beach in Bora Bora), and the central-island position handles the working Vaitape-town walking access (15 minutes by hotel shuttle, the only Bora Bora resort with direct walking-and-shuttle access to the working town infrastructure). Le Moana is the right pick for the working honeymoon couple at the value tier where the Matira-Beach access and the smaller-scale property are the working assets — the rate is 30-40% below the Motu Tehotu/Tehotu-cluster competitors and the working Matira-Beach proximity is the secondary working asset.
Otemanu Premium Overwater Bungalow (the working Otemanu-view upper-tier) or Beach Bungalow for the working beach-honeymoon option.
Use Matira Beach (5-minute walk from the property) for the working morning swim — the only public-access best-beach in Bora Bora. The Vaitape town shuttle handles the working day-trip to the central island.
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 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 Matira Point (central island) 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.
