True Tropical Paradise at Conrad Bora Bora Nui

The Conrad Bora Bora Nui, in French Polynesia, is as idyllic as they get.  Envision a tropical island paradise and then try to imagine an even more beautiful place.  The white sand, volcanic rock and wonderful blue water make up the stunning scenery.  A long infinity pool provides a tranquil setting for soaking up the sun or the drinks at the swim up bar.

Conrad, Hilton’s luxury branch, opened the Conrad Bora Bora Nui last year after a multimillion-dollar renovation of the 114-room resort.  Although there are several lovely options to choose from, try to take advantage of one of the King overwater villas.  Everything faces the water leaving you to wake up wondering if you are still dreaming.  During the day the South Pacific Ocean is only a few steps away, but in addition to being over the water, there is a plunge pool on the deck if you want to get in the water at night and still be in your villa.

For the ultimate in luxury travel, the Conrad has two Presidential Overwater Villas that are two stories tall encompassing an abundant 4,300 square feet.  This over the top experience includes two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a sauna, whirlpool, infinity pool, bar and lounge area, outdoor dining space and your own private butler!

While there are a host of activities that you would expect at a resort, there are many that are specific to the unique location of Bora Bora Nui.  Snorkeling by the reef, stand up paddling, kayaking, and bicycle boats make for lovely adventures.  The Conrad has also curated cultural experiences for you in a convenient way.  Their 1-3-5 program allows you to choose from experiences taking roughly 1,3 or 5 hours.  Learn how to open a coconut, or about the history and creation of Tahitian pearls, or hike to the cave in Mount Otemanu.

Enjoy the local cuisine and culture in a feast full of island flavors in an impressive buffet accompanied by a sensational fire and dance show.  The Polynesian Dinner and Show is a must to delight in the history and culture of the islands through a delicious culinary quest.

The most exclusive luxury experience is the resort’s private islet Motu Tapu.  Yes, an entire islet (small island) can be yours for a romantic picnic or dinner.  It might just be the most memorable, incredible place for a proposal or for a wedding ceremony.
