"Raiatea family pension — the off-grid Society Island honeymoon add-on."
Pension Bonjouir Lodge Faaroa is the family-owned pension (the working Polynesian guesthouse-equivalent) on Faaroa Bay in Raiatea — the working off-the-grid Polynesian-cultural-and-archaeological island, the most-historic of the working Society Islands (Raiatea was the religious-and-political centre of pre-European Polynesia, and the working Taputapuatea marae is a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Six bungalows only — the smallest unit count on this list — every bungalow built in the working traditional-Polynesian fare architecture, and the upper-tier Bungalow Otemanu is the working flagship. The asset is the working scale-and-cultural-position — Raiatea is the least-touristed working Society Island (the working population is 13,000, but the property's 6-bungalow scale means the working couple is functionally alone), and the working Taputapuatea-UNESCO-archaeological-site visit is the cultural-centerpiece. Pension Bonjouir is the right pick for the working honeymoon couple who specifically wants the working off-the-grid family-pension experience and the working Polynesian-archaeological cultural-immersion — the trip's working centerpiece is the Taputapuatea visit, and the working family-pension scale handles the working personal-attention asset.
Bungalow Otemanu (the working flagship) or Standard Bungalow for the working budget option.
Visit the working Taputapuatea marae (UNESCO World Heritage Site) on day two — the working cultural-immersion centerpiece. The 6-bungalow scale means the working family-owner attention is the working 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 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.
