Formerly the Le Meridien Bora Bora, The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa has reopened its doors following an extensive renovation, bringing a luxurious and family-friendly experience to one of the most breathtaking destinations in the world.
Nestled against the backdrop of the majestic Mount Otemanu, this newly rebranded resort boasts the most overwater bungalows in Bora Bora, providing unparalleled accommodations for families looking to combine relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable memories.
For those of you familiar with the resort prior to its renovation, you’ll be pleased to know that the Eco Centre and its turtle sanctuary, which opened in 2000, are still on-site.
Luxurious family accommodations
Families can choose from 128 spacious overwater bungalows or 14 beautifully appointed beach villas, each designed to blend comfort with the awe-inspiring natural surroundings.
The overwater bungalows at the Westin Bora Bora feature large glass-floor panels for mesmerising views of the turquoise lagoon, direct lagoon access, and private terraces with dining areas and loungers. Many come with the added luxury of a private plunge pool.
For those who prefer a beachside stay, the villas offer direct access to the sandy shores and are equipped with dining spaces and private pools.
All accommodations are thoughtfully equipped with family-friendly amenities, including LG Smart TVs, mini-fridges, Wi-Fi, and even cots for little ones upon request.
Dining and culinary delights
Dining at the Westin Bora Bora is an experience in itself, perfect for family meals that cater to all tastes. The resort’s six bars and restaurants offer diverse options, from breakfast and French-Polynesian cuisine at Tipanier to the Mediterranean-inspired dishes at the beachfront Varavara.
For a special night out, families can enjoy the signature dining experience at Maere, which features a changing menu. For relaxed moments, the swim-up bar, Te Ava, and the beachside Honu Tiki bar serve refreshing drinks and light bites, a perfect way to refuel after a day in the sun.
Activities for the whole family
The resort provides a wealth of activities suitable for families. The saltwater swimming pool, complete with a swim-up bar, and the private beach are perfect for endless fun. Complimentary kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkelling equipment allow families to explore the crystal-clear waters and discover the rich marine life of the South Pacific.
A standout feature of the Westin Bora Bora resort is its Eco Centre and turtle sanctuary, a remnant from the former Le Meridien property. Families can learn about the local marine ecosystem and participate in activities led by resident marine biologists, making for an educational and memorable experience for children and adults alike.
For those seeking relaxation and wellness, the Heavenly Spa offers personalized treatments, while wellness classes such as paddle yoga and Tibetan singing bowls provide unique ways for parents to unwind.
