"Glass-floor lagoon villas, Deep Ocean Spa — the wellness-honeymoon Bora Bora."
InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa opened in 2006 on Motu Piti Aau — the largest of the working Bora Bora motus, with the working dual-orientation lagoon and the resort's flagship Deep Ocean Spa (the only thalassotherapy spa in Bora Bora, fed by 915-metre-deep ocean water pumped to the surface for therapeutic-treatments). Eighty overwater villas across the motu, every villa has the working glass-floor section in the bedroom (the largest glass-floor sections of any Bora Bora resort, with floor-to-floor lagoon viewing). The asset is the working Deep Ocean Spa programme — the thalassotherapy treatments use 915-metre-deep water pumped from below the lagoon for the working couples'-wellness programme, and the spa is the only Pacific deep-ocean wellness operation. InterContinental Thalasso is the right pick for the working honeymoon couple where the wellness-programme-and-glass-floor-villa is the explicit working asset — the trip's working centerpiece is the deep-ocean couples' treatment and the working glass-floor lagoon-viewing morning.
Brando Otemanu Overwater Villa (the cliff-edge flagship with Otemanu view) or Sunset Overwater Villa for the working sunset-side option.
Pre-book the Deep Ocean Spa working couples' programme on day two — the 915-metre-deep-ocean-water thalassotherapy is the working wellness-honeymoon centerpiece. The glass-floor section is best-viewed at 7am with morning light underneath.
InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa 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 Piti Aau 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.
