"Raiatea family pension, the off-grid Society Island honeymoon add-on."
Pension Bonjouir Lodge Faaroa is the family-owned pension (the Polynesian guesthouse-equivalent) on Faaroa Bay in Raiatea, the off-the-grid Polynesian-cultural-and-archaeological island, the most-historic of the Society Islands (Raiatea was the religious-and-political centre of pre-European Polynesia, and the Taputapuatea marae is a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Six bungalows only, the smallest unit count on this list, every bungalow built in the traditional-Polynesian fare architecture, and the upper-tier Bungalow Otemanu is the flagship. The asset is the scale-and-cultural-position, Raiatea is the least-touristed Society Island (the population is 13,000, but the property's 6-bungalow scale means the couple is functionally alone), and the Taputapuatea-UNESCO-archaeological-site visit is the cultural-centerpiece. Pension Bonjouir is the right pick for the honeymoon couple who specifically wants the off-the-grid family-pension experience and the Polynesian-archaeological cultural-immersion, the trip's centerpiece is the Taputapuatea visit, and the family-pension scale handles the personal-attention asset.
Bungalow Otemanu (the flagship) or Standard Bungalow for the budget option.
Visit the Taputapuatea marae (UNESCO World Heritage Site) on day two, the cultural-immersion centerpiece. The 6-bungalow scale means the family-owner attention is the asset.
Pension Bonjouir Lodge Faaroa sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Bora Bora for a Honeymoon list. It scored an aggregate 9.2/10 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 Raiatea, Faaroa Bay 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. Rooms with the coveted orientation are claimed first, while popular-month availability runs out months in advance. Suites with a private plunge pool or terrace, the very rooms behind this rank, usually vanish first.
